Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on emvar.shop.
The short version
We only use strictly necessary cookies and storage that make the shop work: remembering your bag, keeping you signed in and completing checkout securely. We do not use advertising, social media or analytics tracking cookies. Because these cookies are essential, they do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), but we still want you to know about them.

Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the cookies above, your bag and checkout will not work.
