Cookies

Since several years the directive by the European Union exists to ask in advance the consent of the visitors to place certain cookies at the medium of the visitor with which he or she browses the internet.

The member countries were instructed to implement this directive in their national Codes of Law.Accordingly, this directive has been implemented in HG-SHOP.EU.

Necessary cookies which e.g. an online shop requires to store customer data, to make it possible to the customer to inspect his/her placed orders, or to avoid filling out again the forms at checkout, do not fall within this directive of the European Union, when those cookies are solely a connection between the shop and the concerned customer – the latter is almost always the case.

At any time the visitors can delete stored cookies at their computers or other used webbrowsing media. Browsers and other tools can do that in a breath. However, because many cookies can have their value it would be useful to balance pros and cons before deleting such cookies. Usually, the tools used for that deletion often have the option to define exceptions.
