Last updated: May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how https://bspshop.com uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

For more information about how we process your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device, such as your computer, tablet, or mobile phone, when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

This policy also covers similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, HTML local storage, and session storage. These technologies may work in a comparable way to cookies and may be subject to the same consent rules under the EU ePrivacy Directive.

The information in this policy applies to all visitors of https://bspshop.com, regardless of location, but reflects in particular the rights granted under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, also known as the GDPR, and the ePrivacy Directive.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• ensure the website functions properly and securely;
  
• operate the shopping cart and checkout flow;
  
• process payments securely;
  
• remember your cookie preferences;
  
• remember certain website preferences, such as language, region, currency, or recently viewed items;
  
• improve website performance and usability;
  
• understand how visitors use our website through analytics;
  
• measure the performance of advertising campaigns;
  
• understand conversions from advertising campaigns;
  
• support remarketing and audience measurement;
  
• detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
  

Analytics cookies are only activated after you consent to Statistics cookies, where consent is required.

Marketing cookies, including remarketing, conversion tracking, advertising pixels, and audience measurement technologies, are only activated after you consent to Marketing cookies.

We do not use cookies to:

• sell your personal data to third parties;
  
• activate non-essential analytics or marketing cookies before you have given consent, where consent is required;
  
• make decisions about you based solely on automated processing in the sense of Article 22 GDPR.
  

3. Legal basis

The placement of cookies and similar technologies on your device is primarily regulated by Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.

For cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary to provide the website and services requested by you, we rely on the ePrivacy exemption for strictly necessary cookies. This includes cookies required for shopping cart functionality, checkout, payment security, session management, fraud prevention, website security, and remembering your cookie choices.

Where personal data is processed through strictly necessary cookies, we rely on our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in operating a secure, reliable, and functional online store.

Preferences, Statistics, and Marketing cookies are only placed with your prior consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, unless a specific legal exemption applies.

You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
