We use cookies to run the site and, with your permission, to understand which pages help and where people get stuck. We do not use cookies to sell your data to advertisers.

Essential cookies (always on)

These run regardless of your choice because the site can't function without them.

  • vs_cart_session, your cart while you browse. Expires 24 hours after the last touch.
  • vd_session, your signed-in customer account if you chose “Keep me signed in”. 30 days.
  • vs_admin_session, only set when the shop operator signs in to /admin.
  • vd_consent, your choice on this banner. 180 days.
  • Stripe Checkout cookies on /checkout pages, used by Stripe to process payment securely.

Analytics cookies (only if you accept)

If you click “Accept all” on the banner, we load Google Tag Manager (which in turn loads Google Analytics 4). That sets cookies like _ga, _ga_*, and _gid so we can see which pages are popular and roughly how long visits last. We anonymise the IP address before it reaches Google.

If you click “Reject all”, none of these load and no analytics data is collected. The site still works exactly the same.

Change your mind

You can change your choice at any time:

Disabling cookies in your browser

If you disable cookies entirely in your browser, the cart and sign-in won't work, but the rest of the site will.
