1. How we use cookies and storage
A cookie is a small piece of data stored by the browser. The shop also uses localStorage and sessionStorage. Necessary technologies provide functions requested by the visitor, such as the cart, sign-in, language choice, security and order completion.
Statistics and marketing technologies can start only after optional consent. Refusing them does not restrict shopping or essential shop functions.
2. Necessary and functional storage
We use this storage without optional consent only for the functions described. The session referral code is used solely to apply the relevant code or discount and is not used for behavioural profiling.

3. Optional statistics and marketing storage
These items can be created only after the relevant consent and while the operator-side feature is enabled.

Marketing storage also has a separate technical kill switch. The visitor's consent alone cannot enable it.
Approximate visit location
After statistics consent, our server uses the IP address to estimate the country, region and city locally. We store only this approximate location with the pseudonymous session in analytics for up to 395 days. We do not store the IP address or precise coordinates in analytics or send the IP address to an external provider for this lookup. We do not use GPS. VPNs and mobile connections may affect accuracy. You can withdraw consent at any time in Cookie settings.
Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 is provided by Google Ireland Limited. It loads only after your statistics consent. It processes pseudonymous identifiers, visited pages, visit sources, product and cart interactions, and technical browser and device information. Refusing does not restrict shopping. You can withdraw consent at any time in cookie settings; we stop measurement and remove its cookies from this browser. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled. With this consent, we also send confirmed purchases and refunds from our server to GA4, including the transaction reference, currency, amounts and products. We do not send your name, contact details or address.
Detailed user and event data retention in Google Analytics is set to 2 months. This limit does not apply to standard aggregate reports. SIM Garage's own analytics retains events and sessions for a separate period of 395 days.
Google may also process data outside the European Economic Area. Google describes its data processing and international transfer terms and further information in the links below.
4. External services triggered by a specific action
The following services are not general visit measurement. They load only on the page or step where they provide security, delivery or payment.
hCaptcha
At the configurator entrance, hCaptcha checks that the request is not automated. It may process information such as the IP address, interaction time, browser data and user interaction. The provider is Intuition Machines, Inc., which acts as a processor for this service. Privacy · Terms
Packeta / Zásilkovna
The pickup point widget loads only after the customer clicks to choose a pickup point. We store the selected branch for no more than 48 hours so it can be used in the order. Provider information
Comgate / Google Pay
Comgate is used after a payment is selected and confirmed. The Google Pay interface loads only when the customer chooses that supported payment method. SIM Garage does not store full card details. Provider information
5. How to change or withdraw your choice
When optional measurement is enabled, settings can be reopened at any time with the Cookie settings button in the website footer. Withdrawing is as easy as granting consent. After withdrawal, we delete first-party analytics identifiers and pending analytics events.
We keep consent for no more than 12 months. We remember a refusal for no more than 6 months so that we do not ask on every visit. We ask again after a material change to the purposes or this revision.
Optional statistics and marketing storage is currently disabled on this website.
