This Cookies Policy explains how AEA Airguns Shop (aeaairguns.shop), operated by Wolfiek Group (Wolfiek Global Partners SL, Pallars 101, 1-1A, 08018 Barcelona, Spain), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (including web beacons, pixels, tags, and local storage) when you visit, navigate, or make purchases through our store.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which details how we process your personal data and how you can exercise your statutory rights.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
A cookie is a small text file downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. It allows the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, ensure secure navigation, and understand how visitors interact with the store. We also use related technologies, such as:
- Local and Session Storage: HTML5 storage mechanisms within your browser used to preserve session integrity, shopping bag contents, and technical state across page reloads.
- Pixels and Web Beacons: Small graphic images embedded in web pages or marketing emails used to verify page visits, measure conversion rates, and evaluate ad effectiveness.
- Server Logs: Automated logging of connection details, IP addresses, browser agents, and timestamps for platform security and debugging.
Categories of Cookies We Use
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Technical & Essential)
These cookies are indispensable for the website to function properly and securely. They enable core e-commerce capabilities, such as maintaining items in your cart, processing transactions through checkout, authenticating customer accounts, detecting fraudulent requests, and saving your cookie consent preferences. Under EU, UK, and relevant international laws, these cookies do not require prior consent because the service cannot operate without them.
2. Analytics and Performance Cookies
These technologies collect aggregated, anonymous or pseudonymous information about how visitors navigate our store. They tell us which products are viewed most frequently, identify error pages, and monitor site loading speeds so we can optimize performance. In the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, these cookies are deployed only after you give explicit consent in our cookie banner.
3. Marketing and Targeted Advertising Cookies
Set primarily by third-party advertising partners, these cookies track your interactions across multiple sites to build a profile of your interests and serve relevant ads on external platforms. In the EEA and UK, these technologies are activated strictly upon prior affirmative consent. In the United States, visitors have the statutory right to opt out of the use of these cookies for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral tracking.
4. Functional and AI Assistant Technologies (Dialog SAS)
To provide personalized shopping guidance and product recommendations, our store offers an optional AI shopping assistant powered by our data processor Dialog SAS (France), with servers hosted in the European Union. To ensure continuity during your chat session and recommend relevant products, the assistant uses technical session identifiers stored locally in your browser. These technical identifiers do not require prior consent as they are necessary to deliver the requested chat functionality. Any optional analytics on assistant usage are strictly tied to your acceptance of analytics cookies in our cookie banner.
