Cookies Policy

Last updated: 20 May 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how Outerhours ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit outerhours.eu (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

This Policy is published in compliance with Article 22.2 of Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society and Electronic Commerce Services (LSSI-CE), Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the e-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit it. Similar technologies — such as pixel tags, web beacons, local storage and software development kits — work in a comparable way. In this Policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer collectively to all such technologies.

Cookies allow a website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, keep you logged in, measure traffic and audience, and (where permitted) deliver personalised content and advertising.

2. Types of cookies we use

We classify cookies according to their function:

  • Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function, including shopping cart, checkout, secure log-in and load balancing. These cookies do not require consent.
  • Functional / preference cookies — remember choices you make (language, region, currency) to provide an enhanced experience.
  • Analytics / performance cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting aggregated information. Used only with your consent.
  • Marketing / advertising cookies — used to deliver relevant marketing communications, measure the performance of marketing campaigns and (where applicable) personalise advertising. Used only with your consent.

We also classify cookies by their source:

  • First-party cookies — set directly by outerhours.eu.
  • Third-party cookies — set by our service providers (such as Shopify, Klaviyo or payment processors) on our behalf.

3. Cookies used on this Site

The table below lists the main cookies and tracking technologies used on the Site. The exact set of cookies may vary depending on your activity, your consent choices and the third-party services active at any given time.

Additional cookies may be set by third-party services we integrate over time (such as social media plug-ins, advertising pixels or chat tools). Where these are non-essential, they will only be loaded after you give your consent through our cookie banner.

4. Legal basis for the use of cookies

  • Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement under Article 22.2 LSSI-CE and Recital 66 of the e-Privacy Directive, because they are essential for the provision of a service you have explicitly requested.
  • All other cookies (functional, analytics, marketing) are installed only after we obtain your prior, free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent, in line with Article 22.2 LSSI-CE, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and the criteria of the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD).

5. How to manage your cookie preferences

When you first visit the Site, our cookie banner allows you to:

  • Accept all cookies;
  • Reject all non-essential cookies; or
  • Configure your preferences by category.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings link available in the Site footer, or by clearing the cookies stored by your browser.

You can also manage cookies directly from your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete or be notified about cookies. Please refer to your browser's help pages for instructions:

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Site or the checkout from functioning correctly.

6. International transfers of data collected via cookies

Some of the third-party providers whose cookies we use (notably Shopify and Klaviyo) are based in the United States or other countries outside the European Economic Area. Personal data collected through their cookies may therefore be transferred internationally, subject to the safeguards described in Section 6 of our Privacy Policy.

7. Updates to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, technological developments or applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this Policy regularly.
