Last updated: 27 September 2026
- This online store, duos.sk, operated by DUOS online s. r. o., Company ID (IČO): 52 689 301, Dunajská 2285/3, 811 08 Bratislava – mestská časť Staré Mesto, Slovak Republic (hereinafter referred to as “we” or the “controller”), uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the website functions properly, measure traffic and support marketing activities. This policy explains which cookies we use, why we use them and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your preferences, login details, shopping cart contents or how you arrived at the website.
2. Legal basis and consent
In accordance with the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (in the Slovak Republic, Act No. 452/2021 Coll. on Electronic Communications), we distinguish between:
- Strictly necessary cookies – these are technically required for the online store to function and to process your order (e.g. for the shopping cart to work). Consent is not required to store or access these cookies under Section 109(8) of Act No. 452/2021 Coll. on Electronic Communications.
- Analytics, marketing and personalisation cookies – we use these only with your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time through the cookie banner / privacy settings on the website.
We request your consent on your first visit through a cookie banner (Shopify Customer Privacy/Consent tool), which also blocks scripts before consent is given (known as consent-before-load), as required by both Google and Meta in the EU.

4. Data transfers outside the EU

5. How to manage consent
- You can change your cookie preferences or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the website footer. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
- You can block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
- To opt out of Google Analytics, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
- You can manage your Google ad preferences at adssettings.google.com and your Meta ad preferences at facebook.com/adpreferences.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify and erase your data, restrict processing, exercise your right to data portability and object to processing for marketing purposes. You can exercise your rights by contacting info@duos.sk. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (dataprotection.gov.sk).
