Last updated: 1 January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Vladimir Zivkovic - Studio Rivale ("Company", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website www.studiorivale.de (the "Website"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them and your rights to control their use. We are based in Germany and comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). Under § 25 TTDSG, cookies and comparable tracking techniques may only be set if users have given clear, informed consent, except for cookies that are technically necessary[1].
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work or to work more efficiently and to provide reporting information[2]. Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than us are called third-party cookies. These third parties may recognise your computer when you visit our website and also when you visit certain other websites.
A script is a piece of program code that is used to make our website function properly and interactively, and a web beacon (or pixel tag) is a small, invisible graphic that helps monitor website traffic and may store data[3]. We refer to cookies and similar technologies collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies for several reasons:
-
Essential (technical/functional) cookies. These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features (e.g., to remember language preferences, save items in a cart or ensure security). Under the TTDSG, these cookies may be set without your consent[1].
-
Analytics (statistics) cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are visited most often and whether users receive error messages. This information is used to improve the performance and user experience of our website. We will only set these cookies if you agree.
-
Marketing/tracking cookies. These cookies are used to create user profiles, deliver personalised advertisements or track users across websites[4]. We only set marketing cookies with your explicit consent[1].
Third parties may also place cookies via our website for advertising, analytics or other purposes. The providers and purposes of these third-party cookies may vary and will be disclosed in our cookie consent tool.
3. How can you control cookies?
When you visit our website for the first time, we display a pop-up banner explaining our use of cookies and asking for your consent to set non-essential cookies. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your settings. If you accept cookies, our Cookie Consent Manager will remember your preferences so that you do not see the banner again on subsequent visits. If you decline cookies, only essential cookies will be used and some functionality may be restricted.
You can also set or modify your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. For more information about how to do this, consult your browser’s help menu. Please note that if you delete or disable cookies, they will be set again if you provide consent when visiting our website again[5].
4. Your rights with respect to personal data
