If you decline
In that case, Google and Microsoft do not set any cookies. Google Analytics and Google Ads receive only signals without cookies and without recognition (Google Consent Mode), so that we can estimate the number of visits. Microsoft Clarity runs without cookies; every page view then counts as a new visit. Meta, TikTok, and Pinterest are not loaded.
Embedded without cookies
For reviews and payments, we load content from Trustpilot (Trustpilot A/S, Pilestræde 58, 1112 Copenhagen, Denmark), Klarna (Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden), and PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg). For technical reasons, these providers receive your IP address in the process. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, our interest in trustworthy and smooth payment.
Transfers to third countries
Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Pinterest may transfer data to their parent companies in the USA. These are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (adequacy decision of the EU Commission of July 10, 2023). TikTok may also process data outside the EU. The basis for this is EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Deleting cookies in your browser
You can delete or block cookies in your browser at any time. Without necessary cookies, the cart and checkout do not work.
This list is based on a measurement of the shop on October 27, 2026. We will update it when services change.
