Privacy Policy

Your privacy is paramount. Here is how we handle your data.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Our aim is to provide you with the best fragrance experience while safeguarding your data. We believe in transparency and only collect the information necessary to provide and improve our services.

Cookies and Analytics

We use essential cookies by default. We also send limited Google Analytics page-view measurement before acceptance using denied consent mode so we can measure basic site traffic without enabling full analytics storage. If you accept analytics cookies, we also use Mixpanel, Microsoft Clarity, Meta Pixel, and fuller Google Analytics measurement to understand how visitors move through shopping and registration flows. These cookies and analytics tools are used for:

  • Location Detection: To determine your country via IP address for automatic currency switching.
  • Usage Analytics: To measure page views, cart activity, checkout visits, and registration flow events, along with browser metadata such as user agent and viewport size.
  • Consent Mode Measurement: To allow Google Analytics to record anonymous page visits before acceptance with analytics storage denied, while fuller analytics and advertising tools stay disabled until consent is granted.
  • Session Tracking: To securely manage your login state and preferences.

By default, we only use cookies that are necessary for the website to function correctly. Google Analytics page-view measurement can run in denied consent mode before acceptance, but fuller analytics storage and advertising technologies are enabled only after you accept them through the cookie notice.
