This Cookie Policy applies to CTEK Sweden AB and its global affiliates ("CTEK", "we", "us"). Its purpose is to explain what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time based on the laws applicable in your region.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the website to function (e.g., shopping cart operation, secure login, page navigation). These cannot be switched off in our systems and do not require prior consent.

• Preferences & Functional Cookies: Enable the website to provide enhanced functionality, such as remembering your language choice or regional currency.

• Analytics & Statistics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous or pseudonymous operational data (e.g., Google Analytics).

• Marketing & Targeting Cookies: Used to deliver relevant advertisements tailored to your interests across third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube, Meta, Google). These may build a profile of your interests based on your browsing history.

Cookies may be session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device until a specified expiration date or until manually deleted).
