Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to make it work, remember your preferences, and understand how it is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, serve comparable purposes.

We distinguish between first-party cookies, which are set by this website, and third-party cookies, which are set by external providers. By duration, session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.

Storing information on your device, or accessing information already stored on it, requires your consent under § 25(1) TDDDG, unless it is strictly necessary to provide a service you have expressly requested (§ 25(2) TDDDG).

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Legal basis: § 25(2) TDDDG — no consent is required. The cookies forgecart-consent, forgecart-session, and forgecart-language fall into this category.

These cookies let us count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They tell us which pages are the most and least popular, and all information they collect is aggregated.

Legal basis: they are set only with your prior consent under § 25(1) TDDDG, and any subsequent processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Your consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time.

These cookies may be set through our site to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content. They do not store directly identifying information but rely on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

Legal basis: they are set only with your prior consent under § 25(1) TDDDG, with any subsequent processing based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. If you do not consent, you will not receive targeted content from us.

When you first visit our website, we ask for your consent to non-essential cookies through our cookie banner. You may accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or select individual categories.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, and doing so is as easy as giving it (Art. 7(3) GDPR). Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, including your consent record, remain for their defined lifetime unless you delete them earlier. We ask for your consent again whenever this policy is materially updated.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page, or by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

• forgecart-consent — stores your cookie choices so we do not ask again (strictly necessary).
• forgecart-visitor-client — a random visitor identifier used for analytics and to link your consent record (analytics).
• forgecart-language — remembers your chosen language (strictly necessary).
• forgecart-session — keeps your cart and session while you browse (strictly necessary).
