This page explains what cookies we use on 42.show, what each of them does and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more generally.
Your choice
Necessary cookies are always active — without them the shop cannot work. Analytics and marketing cookies are set only if you agree to them in the banner shown on your first visit. You can change your decision at any time.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. It lets the site remember things between page loads — that you are logged in, what is in your cart, which language you chose. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, work in comparable ways, and everything written here applies to them too.
Cookies set by 42.show are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other companies whose tools we embed — for example Google or Meta — are third-party cookies, and those companies are separate controllers of the data they collect.
2. Categories we use
Necessary
Required for the website to function: keeping your shopping cart, maintaining your login session, remembering your cookie choices, and protecting forms against abuse. These are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a working service and do not require consent, because the site cannot operate without them.
Functional
Remember choices that improve your experience — your wishlist, recently viewed products, and login through Facebook or Google if you use it. Set only with your consent.
Analytics
Help us understand how the site is used: which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, where they leave. We use this in aggregated form to improve the shop. Set only with your consent.
Marketing
Let us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and show relevant ads on other platforms. Set only with your consent.

4. Legal basis
Analytics and marketing cookies are stored and read only after you have given consent, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Polish law implementing Directive 2002/58/EC. Necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, since the shop cannot function without them. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it — use the button at the top of this page.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
Independently of our banner, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Bear in mind that blocking necessary cookies will break the cart and the checkout.

6. Third-party policies
Where a third party sets its own cookies through our site, its own privacy policy governs what it does with the data: Google, Meta, Pinterest.
