Cookie Policy

How Atelier Kirk uses cookies and similar technologies. We keep this deliberately small: only what is needed to run the shop — nothing for analytics or advertising.

Last updated: 17 June 2026

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device so that it can remember certain information between page views or visits. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in much the same way. They allow a site to keep your shopping cart intact, remember your preferences and keep you signed in.

We use only a small number of cookies, all described below. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track you across other websites.

Strictly necessary cookies we use

These cookies are essential for the shop to function. They are set as a result of your actions on the site and cannot be switched off through our service.

Language preference — a cookie named NEXT_LOCALE remembers the language you have chosen so that pages load in English, German, Italian, Spanish or Dutch on your next visit.
Shopping cart & checkout — a checkout token keeps the items in your cart and lets you move through checkout without losing your selection.
Authentication & session — if you create an account and sign in, session and authentication cookies keep you securely logged in while you browse your orders and details.

Analytics and tracking

We do not use any analytics, advertising or third-party tracking cookies. The only cookies we set are the strictly-necessary ones described above (language preference, shopping cart and login).

No advertising or marketing cookies

We do not set any advertising, retargeting or third-party marketing cookies, and we do not sell or share your browsing data with advertising networks. There are no social-media tracking pixels on this site.

Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or remove them and clear local storage at any time. Refer to your browser’s help pages for the exact steps.

Please note that the cookies above are strictly necessary: if you disable them, core features such as the shopping cart, checkout and signing in to your account may no longer work correctly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in legal requirements. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
