Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 August 2026
The short version: we do not track you. This site sets no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies and no third-party tracking of any kind. The only things we store in your browser are the few items needed to make the shop work at all.
1. What we store, and why
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
laes_cart_v1 |
Local storage | Keeps the items in your basket between visits | Until you clear it or empty your basket |
laes_ship_country |
Local storage | Remembers whether you are shipping to Romania or the EU, so the delivery cost shown is right | Until you clear it |
laes_cookie_ack |
Local storage | Remembers that you have seen the notice, so we stop showing it | Until you clear it |
All three are first-party, stay on your device, and are never transmitted to us as identifiers. Because they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, they do not require consent under art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive or Legea 506/2004 — which is why the notice on the site asks you to acknowledge it rather than asking permission.
2. Third parties
Two third parties are contacted when you use the site, neither for tracking:
- Google Fonts — the typefaces are downloaded from Google's servers when a page loads. This discloses your IP address to Google. No cookie is set by us for this.
- Stripe — only when you proceed to payment, and only on Stripe's own pages. Stripe sets cookies necessary for payment and fraud prevention, governed by Stripe's privacy policy.
3. Managing storage
You can clear this storage at any time in your browser's settings (usually under "Cookies and site data" or "Clear browsing data"). Doing so empties your basket and resets your delivery region — the shop will otherwise work exactly as before.
4. If this changes
If we ever introduce analytics or marketing cookies, we will ask for your consent first, through a banner that lets you refuse as easily as accept, and we will update this page before doing so.
