Cookie Policy

Our website use cookies. Accepting cookies is not a prerequisite for using our websites. We would, however, like to point out that our websites can only function on a limited basis if you do not accept cookies. You can set your browser up in such a way that cookies are only saved if you agree to this.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which are saved by your web browser and which save particular settings and data for exchange with our web server.

A distinction is generally made between two different types of cookies, so-called session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and temporary/permanent cookies which are stored for a longer period. Storing this data helps us to design our websites and services for you accordingly and makes them easier for you to use, for example by saving particular entries so that you do not have to repeat them constantly.

The cookies used by our website may come from Fashion in the City GmbH or advertising partners. If you only wish to accept the Fashion in the City GmbH cookies, but not our advertising partners’ cookies, you can choose the corresponding setting in your browser (e.g. “block third-party cookies). The help function in your web browser’s menu bar generally shows you have to reject new cookies, and to turn off cookies which have already been received. We recommend that you completely log out after you finish using our website on shared computers which are set to accept cookies and Flash cookies.

Our services use three categories of cookies:

  • Necessary cookies: These cookies are required for optimal navigation and operation of the website. For example, these cookies are used to implement the basket function, such that the goods in your basket stay saved while you continue with the purchase. The necessary cookies also serve to save particular inputs and settings which you have made so that you don’t have to constantly repeat them, and to adapt our content to your individual interests. Only limited use of the website is possible without necessary cookies.
  • Statistical cookies: These cookies collect device and access data to analyse the use of our website, such as which areas of the website are used how (so-called surfing behaviour), how fast content is loaded and whether errors occur. These cookies only contain anonymous or pseudonymous information and are only used to improve our website and to find out what our users are interested in, and to measure how effective our advertising is. Statistical cookies can be blocked without adversely affecting the navigation and operation of the website.
  • Marketing cookies (“tracking cookies”): These cookies contain identifiers and collect device and access data, in order to adapt personalised advertising on our  website to your individual interests. Our advertising partners who operate online advertising networks also collect device and access data on our websites. This allows us to display personalised advertising on other websites and in other providers’ apps which fits your interests (so-called retargeting). Marketing cookies can be blocked without adversely affecting the navigation and operation of the website. Shopping Personalisation may, however, not be possible.

But please note: only by using our cookies can you fully use and experience some of the most interesting functions on fashioninthecity.eu. For example, if you put an article in the shopping bag, our server reads the code from the cookie and remembers that the article belongs in your shopping bag. If you visit other websites after your shopping tour on fashioninthecity.eu and then return to our site, your shopping bag is still full. This service is only possible through the use of cookies. We therefore recommend that you leave cookies on.
