Last updated: 4 September 2026
1. Scope
This Cookie Policy explains how KOST DECO, a brand name of Kost Eyewear BV, uses cookies and similar technologies on www.kostdeco.com. Our online store is powered by Shopify. Cookies may be set by KOST DECO, Shopify, payment providers and other service providers used on the website.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files or similar identifiers stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. They can be used to make a website function, remember preferences, understand website usage, prevent fraud, support checkout and payments, and, where permitted, measure or personalise marketing.
3. Cookie categories we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for core store functions such as security, shopping cart, checkout, fraud prevention, language/region selection and saving your privacy choices. They can generally be used without consent where they are strictly necessary for the service requested by you.
Preference cookies
These remember choices such as language, region or other settings that improve your browsing experience.
Analytics and performance cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the store, which pages are visited and how the store performs. Where consent is legally required, these cookies and related pixels are activated only after you consent.
Marketing and advertising cookies
These may be used to measure advertising or make marketing more relevant. Tracking or advertising cookies are not placed before valid consent where Dutch or EU law requires consent.
Third-party content and payment technologies
Parts of the website may use third-party services such as payment providers, Google services or embedded maps. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies when their services are displayed or used. Where consent is required, non-essential third-party content should be blocked until consent is given.

Their own privacy and cookie notices apply to their services.
6. Google Maps and other embedded services
Our Contact page may display an embedded map or other third-party content. Providers such as Google may collect device, browser or usage information and may place cookies when embedded content is loaded. Where required by law, non-essential third-party content should load only after the visitor has given consent.
7. Your choices and consent
Where consent is required, you can accept or reject non-essential cookie categories through the cookie banner or cookie settings on our website. Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent access to the basic store. Necessary cookies remain active because they are required for core functionality.
You can withdraw or change consent at any time through the cookie settings available on our website. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings, although this may affect store functions such as the cart, login or checkout.
8. Do Not Track and browser/privacy signals
Some browsers or devices provide privacy signals. Shopify and other providers may process recognised privacy choices as described in their own documentation and as required by applicable law. Browser settings can also be used to restrict cookies, but they do not replace website consent controls where consent is required.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, Shopify configuration, installed apps, payment methods, analytics or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
