  • Order confirmations,

  • Shipping and delivery notifications.

These transactional emails are essential for order processing and account management and therefore cannot be unsubscribed from.

Users can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included at the bottom of every newsletter email or by contacting us directly. After unsubscribing, users’ data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list, unless it must be retained for other legitimate purposes (e.g. proof of consent).

7.6 Fonts
This website uses web fonts from Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts to ensure a consistent and visually appealing display of content. When a page is loaded, your browser may request the necessary font files from servers operated by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited (4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland). To deliver these fonts efficiently and securely, the servers of these providers may automatically receive certain technical information (non-personal data), including:

This data is processed solely for the purpose of providing and optimizing font delivery and ensuring website functionality. For users in the EU, both Google and Adobe operate through their Irish subsidiaries in compliance with the GDPR.
