Cookies
A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit the website. We use:
- necessary cookies for the website to work (cart, payment, security, remembering your choices): they do not require your consent;
- analytics and preference cookies (including Google Analytics), to understand how the website is used and improve it;
- advertising cookies (Google Ads, Google Tag Manager), to measure the effectiveness of our ads and show you relevant ads.
Analytics and advertising cookies are only placed after you give your consent, through the banner shown on your first visit. You can accept, refuse or customize your choices, and change them at any time using the “Manage my cookies” link at the bottom of the page. Refusing these cookies does not prevent you from using the website or placing an order.
Your rights
At any time, you can access your data, correct it, delete it (except data the law requires us to keep, such as invoices), restrict its use, obtain a copy of it, object to its use (in particular for marketing) or withdraw your consent (newsletter, cookies). You can also set instructions regarding what happens to your data after your death.
To exercise these rights, contact us through our contact page.
Security
The website is fully secure (HTTPS) and payments are encrypted: we never have access to your bank details. Access to your data is limited to the people who need it.

We may update this policy, for example if we start using a new service provider. The version that applies is always the one displayed on this page.
