Cookies used on the website
Cookies with and without consent
If you do not consent to all cookies, we will only store cookies that the law allows us to store without consent. These are mainly functional cookies, which are necessary for the operation of the website. Furthermore, we may also use cookies that give us information about the quality and/or effectiveness of a service provided, as they only have a minor impact on your privacy. These may include analytical cookies and affiliate cookies, for example. We use analytical cookies to analyze the use and operation of our website so that we can improve them if necessary.

Categories of cookies used on the website
Functional cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and are used for technical purposes, such as keeping track of your current shopping session and allowing you to complete and pay for an order. These are session cookies, which usually store information in the form of a session and are stored in the temporary memory of your browser or (mobile) device and are deleted again when you close the web browser or application. These cookies also allow a website or application to store information that has already been provided (such as usernames, language choices, and your location) in order to provide you with better, more personalized features. They are used by our website to distinguish you from other users so that Zen women can personalize your shopping experience by making our website, as well as the advertisements displayed on it, more relevant to your interests, and so that choices you make are remembered (such as your username, language, or country of residence) when you return to our website. Functional cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. We do not require your consent for functional cookies.

First-party cookies and third-party cookies
Our website and external parties (third parties) use session cookies and persistent cookies. Cookies stored on our website are called first-party cookies and are used for various purposes, such as remembering your username or items added to your shopping cart. Cookies stored by another entity are called third-party cookies. These cookies can "recognize" you across different websites and for a certain period of time. The third parties that store these cookies may include suppliers working in partnership with us to ensure the proper functioning of our website, companies that participate with us in joint marketing programs, and other third parties.

Social media plugins
These plugins allow you to "share" content with friends through social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, or similar service providers. We do not control the configuration of these plugins. If you would like to know more about the type of data these social media plugins may collect and how it may be used by the service provider, please refer to their privacy policy.
To better protect your data when you visit our site, social media plug-ins are integrated into our websites and apps using the so-called "two-click solution". This solution ensures that when you access a website or app containing social media plug-ins, there is no connection to the servers of the social media provider. No connection is established until you activate the social media plug-in and consent to the data transfer. The content of the social media plug-in is transferred directly to your browser and integrated into our websites or app. By integrating the social media plug-in, the social media providers receive information about which websites or apps you have visited, even if you do not have a profile with the social media provider or are not logged in. This information is transmitted directly to the servers of the social media providers and stored there. If you use social media plug-ins, for example by clicking the "Like" button, the corresponding information is transmitted directly to the server of the social media provider and stored there. The information is also displayed on social media or shown to your contacts, depending on your social media settings.
