Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on skintory.store, why we use them, how long they last and how you can control them.
1. About this Policy
This Policy is issued by Axevyron OÜ (registry code 17545790), registered at Tööstuse tn 48, Põhja-Tallinna linnaosa, 10416 Tallinn, Harju maakond, Estonia (“Skintory”, “we”, “us”, “our”), which operates the website skintory.store (the “Website”).
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data more generally. Where cookies collect information that identifies you or can be linked to you, that information is personal data and is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent requests, to remember your preferences and to keep you signed in.
Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which store data in your browser rather than sending it with every request, and pixels or web beacons, which are small files used to detect that a page or email has been opened.
Cookies are described as:
- First-party when they are set by the website you are visiting, or third-party when they are set by another domain;
- Session cookies when they are deleted as soon as you close your browser, or persistent cookies when they remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
3. The categories of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

They cannot be switched off through our Website, and under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR and the Estonian Electronic Communications Act they do not require your consent.
3.2 Functional cookies
These cookies remember choices you make, such as recently viewed items, wishlist contents, product comparison selections and display preferences. If you block them, the Website will still work, but some conveniences will be lost.

These cookies would help us understand how visitors use the Website so that we can improve it. They are only set with your consent.

6. Cookies we do not currently use
At the date of this Policy, the Website does not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, social media tracking scripts or profiling technologies. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks and we do not sell it.
If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will not set them before you have given your consent, we will provide a consent mechanism allowing you to accept or reject each category, and we will update this Policy before those cookies are activated.
7. How to manage or delete cookies
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through the Website, because the store cannot operate without them. You can, however, control all cookies through your browser. Note that blocking or deleting cookies may prevent you from signing in, keeping items in your basket or completing an order.
- Google Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Third-party cookies / Site data
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Settings › Privacy › Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
- Opera — Settings › Privacy & security › Cookies and other site data
Most browsers also offer a private or incognito mode, in which cookies are deleted when you close the window. Local storage can be cleared through the same browser menus, usually under “site data” or “cached web content”.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal. There is currently no common industry standard for interpreting it. Because we do not operate tracking or advertising cookies, the Website does not carry out the type of processing that such a signal is intended to prevent.
9. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when the cookies we use change, when we engage new service providers or when the law changes. The current version is always the one published on this page, and the “last updated” date shows when it was last revised.
