Cookie Policy – Memelicensing

Effective date: 26 April 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember certain information, and function correctly. For example, cookies help keep items in your shopping cart, remember whether you are logged in, and record your consent preferences.

Similar technologies, such as browser session storage, serve comparable purposes and are addressed in this policy alongside cookies.

Some cookies are set directly by us (first-party cookies). Others may be set by third-party services integrated into our website to provide specific functionality, such as payment processing (third-party cookies).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies on this website for two purposes:

  • Essential website functionality (always active): These technologies are required for core features of our website, including the shopping cart, user login, checkout, payment processing, and site security. They are activated without your consent because they are technically necessary to provide the service you have requested.
  • Analytics and attribution (only with your consent): These technologies help us understand how visitors reach our website and which traffic sources lead to orders. They are blocked by default and only activated if you choose to accept them.

We do not use marketing, retargeting, or advertising cookies on this website.

3. Your Consent

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner provided by CookieYes is displayed. The banner offers two equally prominent options:

  • Accept all — activates all cookie categories, including analytics and attribution.
  • Only necessary — only strictly necessary cookies and technologies remain active. All analytics and attribution scripts stay blocked.

“Only necessary” is the clear and complete refusal of all non-essential cookies and tracking technologies. Both buttons are presented with the same visual weight and prominence. Before you make a choice, no non-essential scripts run and no non-essential cookies are set.

You can change your consent choice at any time by using the Cookie Settings link in the website footer or the consent preferences icon available on the website. This allows you to reopen the consent preferences and update your choice.

4. Cookie Categories and Technologies

4.1 Strictly Necessary

These cookies and technologies are essential for the basic operation of our website. They enable functions you rely on, such as the shopping cart, checkout, user login, payment processing, and remembering your consent choice. Without these technologies, the website cannot function as intended.

These technologies do not require your consent under TDDDG § 25(2) no. 2 because they are technically necessary to provide the service you have explicitly requested.

Notes: Cookie names marked with * include a unique identifier that varies per website installation. Stripe may set additional cookies and device-level signals for fraud detection on the checkout page; the exact names are managed by Stripe and may change over time. The consent preference cookie (cookieyes-consent) is set by CookieYes, the consent management platform used on this website.

4.2 Analytics and Attribution (Consent Required)

These cookies are set by WooCommerce Order Attribution via Sourcebuster (sourcebuster.js). They record how visitors reach our website — for example, whether a visitor arrived through a search engine, a direct link, or a social media post — and allow us to understand which traffic sources contribute to orders.

These technologies are blocked by CookieYes by default. They are only activated when you choose “Accept all” in the cookie consent banner. If you choose “Only necessary,” these scripts do not run and none of the cookies listed below are set.

If you have given your consent and a purchase is completed during your session, the attribution data collected in these cookies is read and stored alongside the order as metadata. This helps us understand which traffic source led to the order. This data is not used for remarketing, user profiling, or advertising purposes.

If you choose “Only necessary” or later withdraw your consent through the cookie settings, these scripts do not run and no attribution cookies are set or read.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) in conjunction with TDDDG § 25(1). You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

5. What This Cookie Policy Does Not Cover

This Cookie Policy covers cookies and similar tracking technologies used on our website. Some features of our website involve the processing of personal data without relying on cookies or tracking technologies. Those activities are described in our Privacy Policy, not in this Cookie Policy.

For example, the loading of external fonts from third-party servers involves the transmission of technical request data but does not involve cookies. Similarly, the handling of contact form submissions and the collection of order-related data at checkout are forms of personal data processing that are covered by the Privacy Policy.

6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

In addition to using our cookie consent banner, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies. Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may impair the functionality of our website, particularly the shopping cart, checkout, and login.

For information on how to manage cookies in common browsers, consult your browser’s help documentation or visit aboutcookies.org.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable legal requirements. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
