Cookie notice

01

Your choice

When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Nothing in the analytics category is set until you accept, and you can change your answer at any time by reopening the banner from the footer.

Rejecting analytics does not limit anything on the site. The shop, the account and the professional portal all work exactly the same.

02

Strictly necessary

These are set without consent because the site cannot do its job without them.

• ·affix_market: remembers the country you selected, so prices, availability, claims and the mandatory notice are shown for the right market. Lifetime: 12 months.
• ·affix_consent: records your cookie choice so you are not asked on every page. Lifetime: 12 months.
• ·Session and authentication cookies: keep you signed in to a trade account and protect the sign-in process. Lifetime: the session, or up to 30 days where you choose to stay signed in.
• ·Cart storage: keeps the contents of your basket between pages. Lifetime: the session.

03

Analytics, only with consent

Google Analytics 4, used to understand which pages are read and which routes people take through the site. Consent mode is set to denied by default and the Google script is not loaded at all until you accept.

• ·_ga: distinguishes one browser from another. Lifetime: 24 months.
• ·_ga_[container]: keeps session state for Google Analytics 4. Lifetime: 24 months.
• ·Campaign parameters from a link you followed are kept for the length of the browser session so we can tell which campaign a visit came from.

04

What we do not use

No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking pixels, no social media trackers, and no data broker scripts. If that changes, this notice changes first and the banner asks again.

05

Managing cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you see, block and delete cookies from its settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop parts of the site working, in particular the basket and the trade account.
