Cookie Policy

Culina Home
Last updated: October 24, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Culina Home ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.culinahome.com/ (the "Website").

It explains the types of cookies and similar technologies that may be used, their purposes, the services involved, and how you can manage your privacy preferences.

Please read this Cookie Policy together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your device. They can support essential website functions, remember preferences, and, where permitted, enable analytics or marketing.

Similar technologies, including local storage and other browser-based identifiers, may serve comparable purposes.

Cookies can be session-based, meaning they generally expire when your browsing session ends, or persistent, meaning they remain until their expiry or earlier deletion.

3. Categories of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These technologies support essential functions such as website security, shopping cart functionality, checkout, and the recording of privacy preferences.

Consent is not required where a technology falls within an applicable legal exemption, including where it is strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by you.

Personalization Cookies

These technologies may remember preferences and personalize your experience. Where they are not strictly necessary, we request your consent before using them.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics technologies may help us understand website performance and how visitors interact with the Website.

Where legally required, we use these technologies only after obtaining your consent.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing technologies may support advertising measurement, marketing communications, or personalized advertising.

Where legally required, we use these technologies only after obtaining your consent.

The availability of a category in our cookie preferences does not mean that technologies in that category are necessarily active during every visit.

4. Cookies Identified During Website Testing

The following cookies were identified during browser testing conducted in October 2026. The exact cookies used may vary depending on your browser, location, consent preferences, and the features you use.

During testing, _shopify_analytics and _shopify_marketing were present after optional cookies were accepted and were no longer present after consent was withdrawn and the page was refreshed.

The translation functionality is configured to ask visitors before translating the Website. In testing, the googtrans cookie was not present before translation was selected under this configuration.

These observations describe the tested browser sessions and do not constitute an exhaustive list of all technologies that may be used across every Website feature.

5. Services Used on the Website

Shopify

Our Website is hosted and operated using Shopify, which provides e-commerce infrastructure, shopping cart and checkout functionality, and customer privacy tools.

Shopify may use cookies and similar technologies to provide these services.

Shopify privacy information: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy

Website Translation

We provide optional website translation functionality. Depending on your choices, this functionality may use browser storage or cookies, including googtrans, to remember language preferences.

Google privacy information: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Product Reviews

We use Loox Reviews as a product review management service. Its storefront integration is currently disabled while we verify its privacy and consent-related behavior.

If we activate Loox on the Website, we will review the relevant data processing and cookie information and update this Cookie Policy where necessary.

Shop and Related Shopify Services

Certain Shopify features may interact with the Shop ecosystem.

During one browser test, a cookie named _shop_app_essential was observed in association with .shop.app. Its precise triggering conditions and purpose were not independently established, and it was not present in a subsequent fresh-session test.

Additional technologies may be used when you choose to access related services or checkout features.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Browser Observations

Cookies associated with third-party domains may sometimes appear in a browser during testing.

For example, cookies named __Secure-ENID and SEARCH_SAMESITE associated with Google's domain were observed in a test browser. Their presence did not establish that they were placed by Culina Home.

We do not classify those cookies as confirmed Website cookies based solely on that observation.

7. Your Cookie Choices and Consent

Where required, we request your consent before using optional cookies or similar technologies.

Our cookie banner allows you to accept all optional categories, decline them, or manage your preferences.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the Website footer.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. It may not automatically remove information already lawfully processed, but it should prevent further consent-dependent use of the relevant technologies.

Strictly necessary technologies may continue to operate where a legal exemption applies.

8. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

You may also block or delete cookies using your browser settings.

Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect Website functions, including the shopping cart and checkout.

Deleting cookies may also reset your preferences and cause the cookie banner to appear again.

9. Cookie Retention

The retention period of a cookie depends on its purpose, provider, and configuration.

During testing, several Shopify-related cookies had expiry periods of approximately 12 months, while the observed googtrans cookies were session-based.

Retention periods may change following updates to the Website or its service providers. You can inspect or delete stored cookies through your browser settings.

10. Personal Data and Your Rights

Cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal data, including online identifiers, device information, browsing activity, or preferences.

Where personal data is processed, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws may apply.

For further information about how we process personal data, your rights, and how to exercise them, please see our Privacy Policy.

11. Applicable Legal Framework

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is governed, where applicable, by:

• Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR);

• Directive 2002/58/EC on privacy and electronic communications, as amended;

• Slovak Act No. 452/2021 Coll. on Electronic Communications, as amended, particularly Section 109(8);

• Other applicable privacy and data protection laws.

Under Section 109(8) of Slovak Act No. 452/2021 Coll., storing information on, or accessing information stored in, a user's terminal equipment generally requires demonstrable consent meeting the applicable legal requirements.

The statutory exceptions include technical storage or access whose sole purpose is to transmit or facilitate the transmission of a communication through a network, and storage or access that is strictly necessary to provide an information society service expressly requested by the user.

Where no applicable exception exists, we seek the required consent before using the relevant technology.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our Website, service providers, technologies, or applicable legal requirements.

Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
