Last updated: 8 October 2026
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device. Similar technologies (such as your browser’s local storage) work the same way, and this policy covers them too. This page explains which cookies www.mielev.com uses, why, and how you can choose.
The online store is operated by BAKLATZI MARIALENA (distinctive title “MIELEV”), Navarchou Notara 58, 142 35 Athens, Greece, VAT No 148159770, G.E.MI. 154028703000, e-mail [email protected]. For how we handle personal data in general, please see our Privacy Policy.
Your choice
When you first visit the store, a cookie banner lets you accept all, reject all or choose per category in the settings. Only the necessary cookies are used until you choose. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time from the round cookie button at the bottom left of every page or here: Cookie settings. If you withdraw a category, its cookies are deleted from our domain.
We use Google Consent Mode: until you consent, Google services may only receive anonymous signals without cookies or identifiers. Your choice is stored for 180 days and recorded anonymously (date, choice, language and page, without IP address or other identifying data) as proof of consent, for up to 3 years.
