How we use cookies

We are not talking here about the lovely biscuits you bribe your dog with. All the same, it is worth understanding how we use web cookies.

To improve the quality of our services at Pas Kitchen, we use cookies. Cookies are small text files stored in your web browser or on the hard disk of your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or an application. Some of the cookies we use are necessary for the site to work normally, while others serve to collect data about how the site is used (statistics), so that we can make it easier for you to browse content and adapt our site to your needs.

Cookies remain stored in your web browser or on your device for a certain period. Session cookies are deleted from your computer or mobile device when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain stored on your computer or mobile device until they are deleted manually or until they expire.

When you visit our site, it may retrieve and store data from your browser, usually in the form of cookies. That may include data about you, about what you choose and search for, and about the digital device you are using. This data helps the site work properly. The data we collect about you is not used to identify you as an individual, but to give you a personalised experience online. Because we respect your privacy, you can refuse certain types of cookies, but blocking certain cookies may affect the quality of your experience when browsing our site, as well as the quality of the services we provide.

There are different types of cookies:
- Session cookies contain data stored in temporary memory, which is then deleted once the session ends or the web browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies remain stored on your computer or mobile device until they are deleted manually or until they expire.

- First-party cookies are stored by Pas Kitchen in your web browser or on your device when you visit our site.

- Third-party cookies are used to collect data for advertising, to display personalised content and for statistics, and they are set by our partners while you browse the Pas Kitchen website (for example, thanks to third-party cookies you may see adverts for products you looked at earlier). These cookies reflect users' browsing habits, but if you do not want your third-party cookies to be stored, they can be blocked through your web browser by changing the settings on your computer.

Why do we use cookies?
‍
With the help of cookies (and other technologies), we can adapt our site to your needs. We collect data about how you browse our website through several types of cookies or data collectors. Here you can see what types of cookies we have and how we use the data collected:

- Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to work normally and cannot be switched off in our systems. Strictly necessary cookies help you browse our site, log in, add products to your basket and set your language preferences; they display the correct version of the site for the device you are using, confirm your details when you place an order, and allow us to process the payment for your order. You can set your browser to block these cookies or to warn you about them, but in that case some parts of the site will not work. This type of cookie does not store any data that can identify you

- Performance cookies help us track visits and traffic sources on our site, so that we can measure and improve how it performs. They allow us to determine which pages are the least and the most popular, and to see how users move around our site. All the data these cookies collect is analysed in aggregate, so it is anonymous. If you block these cookies, we will not know when you use our site.

- Functional cookies help the site adapt to your needs and become more functional. They may be set by us or by a third party whose services we use on our pages. If you block these cookies, some or even all of these services will not work properly.

- Security cookies help us detect fraud or other attempts at unlawful access to your data or our services.

- Advertising cookies may be set through our site or by our advertising partners, who may use them to build a profile of your interests so that they can show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store direct personal data, but are based on recognising your browser and the device you use to connect to the internet. If you block these cookies, the adverts you see will not be personalised.

In which situations may we share your cookies?

In some cases we use partners to process personal data for advertising purposes. When we share your data, it will be used for the same purpose for which we originally collected it. When we share your data outside the EU/EEA countries, we do so under extremely strict terms and agreements.

What if I no longer want you to store my „cookies“?

You can change your cookie settings at any time through your browser or mobile device settings. In addition, on our site you can change your cookie settings in the „Cookie Settings“ window. Do remember that strictly necessary cookies really are necessary if you want to go on being able to use our website and other services.
