What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are tiny text files that a website can store on your device. There are several types of cookies but all of them serve the same purpose: to remember information for you while you browse. They let the site keep you logged in, remember the items in your shopping-cart, remember your language preference, and help us understand how the site is used.
What is the legal basis for setting/reading cookies?
The placement of strictly-necessary cookies (those that make the shop work) is allowed under the ePrivacy Directive (Art 5 (3)) and the GDPR (Art 6 (1)(c)).
All other cookies – the ones that track analytics or show you personalised ads – are set only after you have given explicit consent (Art 6 (1)(a) GDPR).
We do not sell any personal data collected through cookies to third parties.
What types of cookies we use on this website?
Essential cookies – These are required for the core functioning of the store. They keep your session alive, store the contents of your cart, protect the site from bots and enable secure log-ins. Without them the shop would not work.
Functional cookies – These improve your experience by remembering things like the language you selected, the currency you prefer, or the layout of the site. They are not strictly necessary, but they make navigation smoother.
Statistics cookies – These help us see how visitors move through the site so we can fix problems and improve performance. The tools we use here are:
* **Google Analytics 4 (GA4)** – collects pseudonymised IP, device & browser data, page-views and e-commerce events.
* **Microsoft Clarity** – records screen size, click-paths, scroll depth and anonymised session recordings.
Marketing cookies – These are used to show you relevant ads on Facebook/Instagram and to measure the impact of our advertising. The tools are:
* **Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel)** – sends event names (e.g. “AddToCart”, “Purchase”), device data and an approximate city-level location.
* **Facebook for WooCommerce** – synchronises product SKUs, order IDs and hashed email addresses with Meta’s ad platform.
Marketing-cookie consent also covers data that is sent to Google Ads through the Google-Analytics ↔ Google-Ads integration, even though no Google-Ads script is placed on the site.
Which of our services set each type?
Essential – LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache) technical “vary” and private-cache cookies, session identifiers.
Functional – Google Fonts (font-loading), Google Maps (static image request) – both send your IP to Google for performance logging.
Statistics – GA4, Microsoft Clarity
Marketing – Meta Pixel, Facebook for WooCommerce, Mailchimp
Google Tag Manager (GTM) – GTM ir tikai konteiners, kas ielādē citus skriptus lapā. Tas pats neievieto sīkdatnes, tāpēc tas nav iekļauts nevienā sīkdatņu kategorijā. Sīkdatnes, kuras redzat, nāk no rīkiem, kurus ievieto GTM (GA4, Clarity, Meta Pixel utt.).
What consent tool do we use?
To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.
The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.
