1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, run a shopping cart, measure how the site is used, and serve relevant ads. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixel tags. In this policy we refer to all of them as "cookies".
2. Categories we use
Necessary
Required for the Site to work. These keep your cart, your session, your locale preference, and protect against cross-site request forgery. They cannot be turned off.
Functional
Improve the experience without being strictly required: remembering your saved machine, your recently-viewed products, and embedded checkout iframes (Klarna).
Analytics
Help us understand how the Site is used so we can improve it. Set only with your consent.
Marketing
Used to measure ad campaigns and show relevant attachments on Meta and Google after you visit. Set only with your consent.
Performance
Capture anonymised page-load metrics (Core Web Vitals) so we can keep the Site fast.

4. Managing cookies
On your first visit you will see a consent banner where you can accept all, reject all (except necessary), or choose categories. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking necessary cookies will break parts of the Site (the cart and checkout will not work).
