1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to function correctly, remember your choices, and — with your consent — measure traffic and support marketing. We also use similar technologies (e.g. local storage) for the same purposes; in this Policy we refer to all of them as "cookies".
2. Legal basis
- Strictly necessary (essential) cookies are used because they are required to provide the service you request (e.g. to keep items in your cart and to process checkout). They do not require consent.
- All other cookies (preferences, analytics, marketing) are used only with your consent, expressed via the cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 5).
This reflects the ePrivacy rules (in Poland, the Electronic Communications Law) and the GDPR.
3. Categories of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary
Required for the Store and checkout to work — including session handling, the shopping cart, security, and payment processing via PayPal.
3.2 Functional / preferences
Remember choices you make (e.g. language or display settings) to improve your experience.
3.3 Analytics / statistics
Help us understand how visitors use the Store so we can improve it. We use Google services (Google Analytics) and the Rank Math SEO plugin for analytics and search‑performance insights. Used only with your consent.
3.4 Marketing
Used to deliver and measure marketing and, where applicable, personalised content. We use Meta Pixel and Google Ads. Used only with your consent.

5. Managing your consent and cookies
5.1. On your first visit you can accept or reject non‑essential cookies, or choose categories, via the cookie banner. You can reopen the settings at any time via the floating "Manage cookies" button in the bottom‑left corner of the site (and any "Cookie settings" link in the footer) to change or withdraw consent.
5.2. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies; note that disabling essential cookies may stop the cart and checkout from working.
5.3. Useful browser help pages: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari (see each browser's "cookies" / "privacy" settings).
5.4. Your cookie consent choices are recorded and managed on our site by the "WCM Privacy & Cookies" plugin, developed by We Can More (wecanmore.com.pl).
6. Third‑party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use — in particular PayPal (payment), Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads) and Meta (Meta Pixel). These providers process data under their own privacy policies. Analytics and marketing cookies are loaded only after you give consent.
7. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our cookies or applicable law change. The current version is always published on the Store website with an updated effective date.
