Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, improve user experience, remember preferences, measure performance, and support certain security and marketing functions. In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as tracking pixels, local storage, tags, and scripts.

We use cookies and similar technologies in order to:

• ensure the technical operation and security of the website;
• remember your settings and choices (for example, cookie consent);
• understand how visitors use our website and improve it;
• process forms, orders and payments;
• enable embedded content such as videos;
• support newsletters and other communications.

Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website, we will rely on your prior consent before placing them, where required by applicable law.

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the functioning of the website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you, such as:

• navigating the website and using its basic features;
• submitting forms (contact forms, “ask for price”, questions, order forms);
• operating the online shop and checkout;
• remembering your cookie preferences;
• enabling the secure processing of payments (for example via Stripe).

Without these cookies, parts of the website may not work correctly.

2. Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as:

• remembering certain preferences or choices on the website;
• supporting newsletter sign‑ups and other form‑based features (Tilda forms, Mailchimp integrations);
• enabling features of a future personal account / customer area.

If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not function properly.

3. Analytics Cookies

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website so that we can improve its content and performance. For this purpose, we may use:

• Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how users interact with the website (for example, pages visited, time spent, and technical information about your device).

Analytics cookies are used only where consent is given, if such consent is required by applicable law. In some cases, we may configure analytics in a way that reduces the need for consent (for example, by using IP anonymization or limited retention periods), in line with applicable guidance.

4. Advertising and Marketing Cookies

At the moment, we do not intentionally use cookies for third‑party behavioural advertising on this website. However, certain tools we use (for example, email marketing tools like Mailchimp) may set cookies to support newsletter forms or campaign performance measurement, according to their own policies.
If we introduce advertising cookies in the future (for example, retargeting pixels), we will update this Cookie Policy and obtain consent where required by law.

5. Third‑Party and Embedded Content Cookies

Our website may include content and features provided by third parties. These third parties may place cookies or similar technologies when you interact with their content. This may include:

• YouTube – for embedded videos on our website;
• Tilda – as the platform used to build and host our website;
• Stripe or other payment providers – to process online payments securely;
• Mailchimp or similar email marketing services – for newsletter subscription forms and email campaigns;
• Telegram notifications – where our systems send notifications to administrators about new requests (any cookies would be set by Telegram if you access Telegram content directly via our site).
• These providers may collect information about your interaction with their services and may use cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control these cookies directly.

When you first visit our website, you may see a cookie banner. Through this banner you can either accept or decline the use of non‑essential cookies.

If you accept, we may use analytics and other optional cookies as described in this Cookie Policy, in addition to the strictly necessary cookies that are always used to operate the website.

If you decline, we will not place non‑essential cookies on your device, although strictly necessary cookies will still be used to ensure the basic functioning and security of the website.

Your choice will be stored using a cookie or similar technology on your device. If you delete cookies or use another browser or device, you may need to make your choice again.

Refusing non‑essential cookies will not prevent you from using the website, but some features (such as certain analytics‑based improvements or embedded content behaviour) may be limited.

Depending on your country and browser settings, our website may use cookies or similar technologies from the following providers:

• Tilda Publishing – strictly necessary and functional cookies for hosting, security, forms, and basic statistics;tilda+1
• Google Analytics – analytics cookies to collect aggregated information on website usage;cookiefirst+1

• Mailchimp (or similar) – cookies related to newsletter signup forms and email metrics;
• Telegram – if you follow links or use Telegram directly from our website or communications, Telegram may set its own cookies.

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can usually:

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. At this time, our website may not respond to all DNT signals in a uniform way. We rely on our cookie consent tools and applicable legal requirements to determine when and how cookies and similar technologies are used.

Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, you may have certain rights under data protection laws (including the GDPR and Slovenian law), such as:

• the right of access to personal data;
• the right to rectification or deletion;
• the right to restrict processing;
