1. Summary
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. ALVENIO uses only strictly necessary cookies: the ones that keep items in your bag, remember the currency you chose, keep you signed in and make checkout secure. We do not use advertising, social media or analytics cookies, so we do not ask for cookie consent. If this ever changes, we will ask for your permission first.
