Cookie Notice
This page lists the cookies and browser storage used by Képesbolt, their purpose and lifetime. The short version: we only use cookies strictly necessary for the site to work — no marketing or analytics cookies.
Effective and last updated: 26 August 2026
This is an informational translation provided for convenience. In case of any discrepancy, the Hungarian version prevails.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of text data placed in your browser by a website and sent back on subsequent requests — this is how a site keeps you signed in or preserves your cart. Modern browsers also offer localStorage and IndexedDB. IndexedDB can keep editor drafts and local files in the browser and does not send them to the server automatically. Under the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and Section 155(4) of Hungarian Act C of 2003, cookies that are strictly necessary for providing the service do not require consent — but you must be informed about them. This page provides that information.

| kb-cookie-consent | remembers that the cookie notice bar was acknowledged | until deleted | localStorage |
| Képesbolt designer draft | restores the product-design document, version history and not-yet-uploaded original image files after a reload; required data is sent to the server only when you explicitly save or order | 30 days after last use, or earlier manual deletion or successful approval | IndexedDB |
3. Managing and deleting cookies
You can delete cookies and browser storage in your browser settings at any time. Delete local draft in the product designer removes only that editor's locally stored document and image files. Deleting the other necessary storage may sign you out, empty your cart and require re-entering protected galleries.
4. Future changes
Should we ever introduce analytics or marketing cookies, we will do so only with prior, freely given and informed consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): the cookie bar will be extended into a consent request and this notice will be updated. See the Privacy Policy for details of related processing.
This document applies to the Képesbolt platform. Purchases made in a gallery are governed by the legal documents of the Photographer operating that gallery.
