Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies — small pieces of data stored in your browser that help us keep the site running, remember your preferences, and understand how people discover and explore fragrance. This policy explains exactly which cookies we use, why, and how you can control them.

For non-essential cookies, we ask for your consent before placing them — through the Cookiebot tool that appears on your first visit. You can change your choices at any time.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

HTTP cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They allow the site to recognise you on return visits, remember your preferences, and function correctly.

HTML local storage (localStorage / sessionStorage) works similarly, but data is stored directly in your browser rather than being sent with every HTTP request. It can hold larger amounts of data.

Indexed databases (IndexedDB) are a more advanced in-browser storage system used for complex datasets — for example, the on-site wishlist.

Tracking pixels are small invisible images (or scripts) that load when you visit a page or open an email, allowing third parties to record that the action occurred.

2. Why We Use Cookies

To keep essential site functionality working: shopping cart, login, security
To remember your preferences: selected currency, subscription preferences
To understand how visitors explore the site, so we can keep improving it
To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on Google, Meta, TikTok, and Pinterest
To deliver relevant product recommendations through Klaviyo
To accurately attribute conversions to marketing channels (UTM parameters, Conversion API)

3. The Cookies We Use

Cookiebot classifies all active cookies on our site into four categories. The list below is accurate as of the effective date of this policy. Cookies may change as we add or remove services — the live, always-current list is available in the Cookiebot consent window, accessible via the „Cookie Settings” link in our site footer.

3.1 Necessary Cookies — 20 cookies / 24 entries

These cookies are essential for the site to work. They cannot be disabled — without them, navigation, the shopping cart, payments, and security would break. They do not require your consent.

5. Your Consent — How Cookiebot Works

On your first visit to thescentnest.com, a Cookiebot window presents the four cookie categories. You can accept all, or choose manually which categories you allow.

Your consent is recorded and stored in the CookieConsent cookie, valid for 12 months. When it expires, we will ask again.

You can update your preferences at any time by clicking „Cookie Settings” in our site footer.
Necessary cookies cannot be disabled — they are essential for the site to function.
Refusing or revoking consent for statistics and marketing cookies does not affect the core functionality of the site or your ability to place orders.

6. How to Control Cookies

6.1 Through our on-site tool

The simplest method: click „Cookie Settings” in our site footer and update your choices whenever you like.

6.2 Through your browser settings

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling all cookies may affect site functionality (including the shopping cart and checkout).

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

6.3 Advertising platform opt-out tools

7. Cookies and Tracking Pixels in Emails

The emails we send through Klaviyo may contain invisible tracking pixels. These help us know whether an email was opened and whether a link was clicked — information we use to personalise future communications.

If you prefer not to be tracked this way, you can: (1) disable automatic image loading in your email client, or (2) unsubscribe from our marketing communications entirely.

8. Changes to This Policy

We update this policy periodically to reflect changes in the services we use or in applicable law. The effective date at the top is updated accordingly. The live list of active cookies can always be checked in the Cookiebot consent window — it updates automatically with each periodic site scan.
