This website xtsumetai.art (hereinafter referred to as the "Website"), operated by Matěj Pekárna (IČO: 24551660, Číměř 39, 378 32 Číměř, Czech Republic), uses cookies and similar technologies (including localStorage) to ensure proper website functionality, remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and provide the best user experience. This policy applies to all visitors of this art portfolio and e-commerce website.
2. What are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored in your browser or device when you visit websites. These files contain information that helps websites recognize your device on return visits and allow for improved website functionality.
Cookies are not harmful to your computer or mobile device and do not contain viruses or malware. This website also uses localStorage, a browser-based storage mechanism that functions similarly to cookies but stores data locally on your device without sending it to a server.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies & localStorage – Required for the website to function properly. This includes your cookie consent preference (cookieConsent), language preference (lang), and shopping cart data (cart), all stored in localStorage. It also includes authentication cookies set by the server when you log into your account. These cookies are exempt from the consent requirement under Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and § 89(3) of Czech Act No. 127/2005 Coll., as they are strictly necessary for the service requested by the user.
Analytical cookies – Help us understand how visitors interact with the website, which artworks are most viewed, and how users navigate between pages. These cookies are only set after you give explicit consent via the cookie banner. We use Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-57BDRZ5JLZ). Storage duration: maximum 2 years.
Preference cookies – Remember your settings and preferences, such as language selection (EN/CZ). Storage duration: persistent until manually cleared.
4. Specific Cookies & Storage Used
Below is a detailed list of cookies and storage mechanisms used on this website:
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our website uses the following third-party services that may set their own cookies:
Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) — used for traffic analysis and website usage statistics. Cookies: _ga, _ga_*, _gid. Only activated after your consent. Google Privacy Policy.
Stripe (Stripe, Inc.) — used for secure payment processing during checkout. When you proceed to payment, you are redirected to Stripe's secure page, which may set cookies such as __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid for fraud prevention and payment processing. These are essential for completing your purchase. Stripe Privacy Policy.
Google Fonts (Google Ireland Limited) — used for loading web fonts. Google may log font requests including your IP address. Google Privacy Policy.
6. Cookie Management
When you first visit this website, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies and localStorage entries necessary for the website to function cannot be disabled.
You can also control and/or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some services and functionalities may not work correctly.
To manage cookies in your browser: Chrome — Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies; Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies; Safari — Preferences > Privacy; Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions.
To clear localStorage data, use your browser's Developer Tools (F12) > Application > Local Storage, or clear all site data via browser settings.
To withdraw your cookie consent, you can clear the cookieConsent entry from localStorage, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
7. Legal Basis for Processing
The use of cookies and similar technologies on this website is governed by:
Essential cookies: Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) as transposed into Czech law by § 89(3) of Act No. 127/2005 Coll., on Electronic Communications — these cookies are exempt from the consent requirement as they are strictly necessary for providing the service requested by the user. The legal basis under GDPR is legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Non-essential cookies (analytical): Set only after obtaining your explicit, informed, freely given, and withdrawable consent per Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive, § 89(3) Czech Act No. 127/2005 Coll., and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent is collected via the cookie consent banner displayed on first visit.

Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7, www.uoou.cz.
