This page explains which cookies and similar storage technologies (e.g. LocalStorage) we use on scary-cards.com, for what purpose, and for how long. Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of § 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG and our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Optional cookies are only set with your explicit consent (§ 25 (1) TTDSG, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Cookies are small text files your browser stores on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to provide features such as login, shopping cart or language preference across multiple page views. Similar mechanisms such as LocalStorage work in a comparable way — they store data directly in your browser.
These cookies are required for the shop to work (login, cart, language selection, payment). Without them you cannot place an order. They do not require consent.

We currently do not use any analytics or marketing cookies. Should this change in the future (e.g. by integrating Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.), such cookies will only be activated after your explicit consent given via the cookie banner.
When you choose Stripe or PayPal at checkout, those providers will set their own cookies. They are required to process the payment securely. Privacy notices:
You can delete stored cookies in your browser settings at any time, or block new cookies from being set. Blocking essential cookies may break login, the cart or checkout. Instructions for common browsers:
