Cookies Policy
Last updated: 24 August 2026
This page explains which cookies and similar technologies hermanosgourmet.com uses, what each one does, how long it lasts, and who receives the data. It lists every cookie this store actually sets — not a generic template.
Your choice
We only place cookies that are strictly necessary to run the shop until you tell us otherwise. Everything else — analytics, advertising and comfort features — is placed only after you agree.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie settings link on this site. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and it does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before you withdrew.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop parts of the shop — such as the basket and checkout — from working.

Storage that is not a cookie
So that the newsletter pop-up is not shown to you over and over, we record the fact that you have already seen or closed it. Where that record is kept depends on your cookie choice:
-
If you accepted cookies — in the
hg_newsletter_popupcookie listed above. - If you declined cookies — in your browser's session storage, under the same name. Session storage is not a cookie: it is never sent to our servers, it holds no identifier and nothing that identifies you, and your browser erases it automatically when you close the tab.
It is used for nothing else. It is not used for statistics, advertising or profiling.
