Cookie-Richtlinie
Last updated: 27 August 2026
This website, PATRICE FRANSEZ, uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure that the website functions correctly, remember your preferences, analyse the use of our website and – where you have given your consent – better tailor marketing and advertising.
In this Cookie Policy, we explain what cookies are, which types of cookies may be used and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on or read from your computer, tablet, smartphone or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies may be used, among other things, to ensure that a website functions correctly from a technical perspective, remember products in your shopping cart, save your preferences, gain insight into the use of the website and – with your consent where legally required – enable relevant marketing.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?
1. Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies are required for the website and online store to function correctly and securely. These cookies may be required for:
- remembering and managing your shopping cart;
- processing and securing the ordering and payment process;
- account and login functionality;
- security and fraud prevention;
- remembering necessary session data;
- recording and respecting your cookie preferences.
Strictly necessary cookies generally do not require prior consent when they are necessary to provide a service you have requested or to ensure that the website functions correctly from a technical perspective.
2. Preference and functional cookies
These cookies may be used to provide additional functionality and remember certain choices or preferences, such as your language, country or display preferences.
Depending on their function and applicable legislation, these cookies may only be placed where you have given your consent.
3. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies and similar technologies help us understand how visitors use our website. They may, for example, provide us with insight into pages visited, navigation, website performance and general interactions with our online store.
This information helps us improve the website, our services and the shopping experience.
Where consent is legally required, non-essential analytics cookies will only be placed or activated after you have given your consent.
4. Marketing and advertising cookies
Marketing cookies and similar technologies may be used to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and make advertisements more relevant.
These technologies may collect information about your interactions with our website and, depending on your consent and the service used, this information may be combined with information from other websites or platforms.
Marketing and advertising cookies that require consent will not be placed or activated before you have given your consent.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND TECHNOLOGIES
Our online store is hosted and supported by Shopify. Shopify and service providers engaged by us may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to operate, secure and provide our online store.
We may also use external services for purposes such as analytics, marketing, customer communications, advertising, payments and other online store functionality. Where such services use non-essential cookies or similar technologies, they will be used in accordance with your cookie preferences and applicable legislation.
External service providers may process personal data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. More information about the processing of personal data through our online store can be found in our Privacy Policy.
COOKIE PREFERENCES AND CONSENT
When you visit our website, you can use our cookie banner to set your preferences for cookies that require consent.
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies and, where available, manage your preferences by category.
Rejecting non-essential cookies does not affect the essential operation of the online store. However, certain additional features or personalised experiences may be limited.
CHANGING OR WITHDRAWING CONSENT
You can review your cookie preferences at any time and, where applicable, change or withdraw your consent through the cookie settings on our website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent before it was withdrawn.
MANAGING COOKIES THROUGH YOUR BROWSER
In addition to our cookie settings, you can also manage or delete cookies through your internet browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to delete existing cookies, block cookies in whole or in part, or receive a notification when a website wants to place a cookie.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser may prevent certain parts of the website or online store from functioning correctly.
RETENTION PERIOD
The retention period of cookies varies depending on the cookie and its purpose. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while other cookies may remain on your device for a certain period of time (persistent cookies).
We do not retain data obtained through cookies and similar technologies for longer than necessary for the relevant purpose and in accordance with applicable legislation.
CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when our website, the technologies we use, our service providers or our legal obligations change.
The most recent version will always be published on this page. The date at the top of this page indicates when this Cookie Policy was last updated.
