  1. Cookies and consent

On your first visit, a banner asks for your consent. Without consent, we do not load any analytics or marketing services; only your choice is stored in your browser’s local storage (“bh_consent”) so that the banner does not appear on every visit.

The legal basis for the services in sections 7 and 8 is your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, Section 25 (1) TDDDG). You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

  1. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics evaluates how visitors use the website (e.g. pages viewed, time on site, device type, approximate location) and sets cookies for this purpose (including “_ga”). Tag Manager loads the integrated services.

Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy

  1. Meta Pixel

With your consent, we use the Meta Pixel provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland. The pixel records page views, products viewed and clicks on “Buy on Etsy” and sets cookies for this purpose (including “_fbp”). This allows us to show ads on Facebook and Instagram to interested people and measure their success.

We are jointly responsible with Meta for collecting and transmitting this data to Meta (Art. 26 GDPR, https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum); Meta alone is responsible for any further processing. Data may be transferred to Meta Platforms, Inc. in the USA. Meta is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. More information: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

We do not disclose your order data to third parties for advertising purposes. For services on this website that only load with your consent, see sections 6 to 9.
