1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small text files saved on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) while you use websites. Among other things, they make it possible to remember your preferences and your list of favourite products, and to analyse how the Website is used. The aquaelegance.eu Website is a product catalogue: it has no basket, customer accounts or payments, so we do not save basket, shopping session or customer login cookies.
In addition to traditional cookies, we also use local storage technology (Local Storage and Session Storage) in your browser. It is used to store data directly on your device in a more efficient and secure way. This data is not sent to the server automatically with every request.
2. Types of cookies and local storage we use
| Category | Purpose | Storage time | Requires consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary (technical) | consent preferences, list of favourite products, recently viewed products, security | session / up to 12 months | No |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4, traffic measurement, product popularity statistics | up to 24 months | Yes |
| Marketing | Google advertising signals: measuring campaign effectiveness and personalising ads. We do not use any other advertising tools. | up to 90 days | Yes |
3. Detailed data storage register (Client Storage Registry)
The table below gives the exact list of cookies and browser storage keys (Local / Session Storage) used on the Website:
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose and content | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| ae_cookie_consent_v1 | Local Storage | Stores the consents you have chosen for each type of cookie (necessary, analytics, marketing) and the date of the decision. | 12 months |
| ae-wishlist | Cookie | Stores your list of favourite products (the heart icon) on your device. Works without creating an account. | 180 days from the last change to the list / until deleted by the user |

4. Managing consents
You decide which categories of cookies you accept in the banner that appears on your first visit. You can change your preferences at any time using the button below:
You can also manage cookies directly in your browser settings. Switching off some categories may affect how the Website works (e.g. the list of favourite products will not be remembered).
5. Third-party cookies
On the Website we use the following third-party services, which may save their own cookies:
- Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited): statistics and traffic analysis,
- Google tag (gtag.js): technical transmission of Consent Mode signals and GA4 measurement.
You will find the privacy policies of these providers on their websites.
Products are purchased on Allegro, which the “Buy on Allegro” button leads to. Allegro is a separate service with its own terms and conditions and privacy policy, and the aquaelegance.eu Website does not handle payments.
6. Consent Mode v2
We use Google Consent Mode v2. Until consent is given in the banner, all consent signals (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) are set to "denied" by default. After you make your choice, the consents are updated and passed to Google in a manner compliant with the GDPR.
