2. LEGAL BASIS: CONSENT AND STRICT NECESSITY
The use of cookies on our site is governed by two principles established by the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR 5:
2.1. Cookies Requiring Explicit Consent (Opt-In)
For cookies that are not strictly necessary for the basic operation of the website, we are legally required to obtain your explicit, prior consent before setting them on your device.2 These typically include 4:
-
Marketing/Advertising Cookies: Used for behavioral advertising and targeted promotions.
-
Analytical/Performance Cookies: Used to track site usage, visitor statistics, and market research (e.g., Google Analytics).
-
Social Plug-in Tracking Cookies (e.g., those from Facebook, Instagram, or similar platforms).4
2.2. Cookies that Do Not Require Consent (Strictly Necessary)
Consent is not required for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide an online service explicitly requested by the user.4 These cookies ensure fundamental functionality and secure processing:
-
User-Input Cookies: Used when filling out online forms.
-
Shopping Basket Cookies: Essential for products to remain in your shopping cart while purchasing.4
-
Authentication Cookies: Necessary for logging into your Scentorium customer account.4

3. YOUR CONSENT AND HOW WE MANAGE IT
We implement a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to ensure that your data privacy choices are respected.
3.1. Mechanism of Consent
-
Active Opt-in: We do not use pre-ticked checkboxes. You must actively and freely give your consent for non-essential cookies. Implicit consent (e.g., continued browsing) is not valid.6
-
Granular Consent: Our banner allows you to give separate consent based on the purpose of the different types of cookies (e.g., separate consent for analytics and marketing).6
-
Prior Blocking: Non-essential cookies are technically blocked from being set on your device until you provide your explicit consent.4
3.2. Withdrawal of Consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of cookies at any time. We make it as easy to withdraw consent as it is to accept it.4 You can usually manage your preferences through a visible link in the website footer or via the dedicated cookie management widget.
