Who we are
This Cookie Policy explains how freespiritart.it (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and shop.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and understand how people use the site. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function; others are used only with your consent.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary – required for core features like security, shopping cart and checkout. These do not require consent.
Preferences – remember choices such as language or items left in your cart.
Analytics – help us understand site traffic and improve our pages (for example, via WordPress/Jetpack Stats or similar tools).
Marketing – measure the effectiveness of our ads and show relevant promotions (e.g., Meta Pixel) only if you consent.
Because we use on-demand fulfillment and common ecommerce tools, some cookies may be set by trusted third parties (see below).
Your choices (consent & withdrawal)
On your first visit you’ll see a banner where you can accept all, reject non-essential, or customize cookies. You can change your choice at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer (or by clearing cookies in your browser).
If you disable or reject certain cookies, parts of the site (like checkout) may not work properly.

woocommerce_cart_hash (session) – helps WooCommerce know when the cart changes.
woocommerce_items_in_cart (session) – stores the number of items in the cart.

Third-party cookies & data transfers
Some cookies are set by third parties we use to run the shop, analyze usage, or measure marketing (e.g., Automattic/Jetpack, Meta, Google). These providers may process data outside the EU/EEA; when they do, they use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
You can find more about how these providers handle data in their own privacy/cookie notices.
