Website Cookie Policy

KLINGER The Netherlands (hereinafter: “KLINGER ”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website www.klinger.nl. In this cookie policy, we explain what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We believe it is important that you be able to decide for yourself which cookies are placed on your device. That is why we provide you with this information as clearly and completely as possible.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your computer, tablet, or cell phone when you visit a website. A cookie contains information that can be read during a subsequent visit to the website. In addition to cookies, websites may use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, and scripts. In this cookie policy, we use the term “cookies” whenever possible as a collective term for these technologies. Cookies may be necessary, for example, to ensure a website functions properly, to remember preferences, or to gain insight into how a website is used.

2. What cookies does KLINGER use?

We distinguish between the following categories of cookies:

Functional cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. For example, they ensure that:

• pages are displayed correctly;
• Your session and preferences may be saved;
• the various components of the online store are functioning properly;
• security measures can be implemented;
• the features you have selected are available;

Consent is not required for functional cookies when they are truly necessary for the website to function or to provide a service you have requested.

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies allow us to gain insight into the use and performance of our website. For example, they enable us to see which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the website, and whether certain features are functioning properly. We use this information to improve our website and services. If consent is required for the use of analytical cookies, we will not place these cookies until you have given your consent.

Marketing and Tracking Cookies

Marketing and tracking cookies may be used to track visitors’ browsing behavior and, for example, to record their interests or preferences. This information may be used for marketing purposes or to make content and advertisements more relevant. KLINGER places such cookies only after obtaining prior consent. You can always change or withdraw your consent for these cookies through the cookie settings on our website.

3. Overview of Cookies

Because the use of cookies may change when we add or remove features, services, or third-party applications to our website, we keep the current cookie overview linked to our website’s technical configuration. In the cookie overview, we list the following information for each cookie, as applicable:

4. Third-Party Cookies

Certain sections of our website may use services provided by third parties. Depending on the service in question and your cookie preferences, these third parties may use cookies or similar technologies.

Examples of this might include:

• website analytics services;
• video streaming services;
• map display services;
• marketing or social media services;
• technical services necessary for the operation of certain features.

When a third party processes personal data using cookies or similar technologies, that party may act as an independent data controller or as a data processor for KLINGER. We take appropriate measures to ensure that the use of such services complies with applicable privacy laws. You can find the current list of third parties and cookies in our cookie settings.

5. Consent to Cookies

When consent is required to set or read a cookie, we will ask for your consent in advance via our cookie banner. You can choose which categories of cookies you accept. Refusing non-essential cookies does not affect your normal access to our website. We do not use a “cookie wall” that restricts access to the website unless you accept tracking cookies. Consent is not implied by simply visiting, scrolling through, or continuing to use the website.

6. Change or withdraw your cookie preferences

You can change or withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time. You can do this by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” button on our website. When you withdraw your consent, the relevant cookies will no longer be used to the extent that this is technically possible. Cookies that have already been stored may still be present on your device. You can delete these yourself through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent is just as easy as giving it.

7. Deleting Cookies Through Your Browser

You can also delete or block cookies through your web browser’s settings. The process varies by browser. Please consult your browser’s help section or privacy settings for instructions. Please note: if you block all cookies, this may affect the functionality of certain parts of our website, including sections of the online store.

8. Personal Information and Cookies

The use of certain cookies or similar technologies may involve the processing of personal data. Examples include an IP address, online identifiers, information about your device, or information about your use of our website. When we process personal data, we do so in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws.

For more information about how KLINGER processes personal data, please see our Privacy Statement.

9. Legal Basis for the Use of Cookies

For cookies that require legal consent, your consent serves as the basis for setting and reading these cookies. For cookies that are necessary for the functioning of the website or a service you have requested, no separate consent is required if they fall under the legal exception. We strive to configure our cookie settings so that non-essential cookies are not set until consent has been obtained.

10. Cookie Retention Period

Cookies can have different lifespans. Some cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a certain period of time. The exact retention period is listed for each cookie in the current cookie overview. We review the cookie overview periodically and update it whenever cookies, scripts, features, or external services on our website change.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

KLINGER We may update this Cookie Policy if the website, the cookies used, or applicable laws and regulations change.
