What cookies are
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep, so that the site can recognise the browser on a later request. Similar techniques — local storage, tracking pixels — do the same job by different means, and this policy treats them the same way.
This policy covers both necessary storage and optional storage that requires your consent.
The categories you can choose between
The services declared for Samek Tool AB are grouped into the categories below. Only necessary cookies are used without consent.
- Necessary — Needed for the site to work at all: security, load balancing, and remembering the choice you make here. These cannot be switched off.
- Preferences — Remembers choices you make, such as your language or region, so the site does not ask again.
- Statistics — Helps us understand how visitors use the site and improve its pages and features. Depending on the service, this may include recording interactions or individual visits.
- Marketing — Used to measure our advertising and to show our adverts to people who have visited before. This is the category that involves third parties most directly.
How you consent, and how you take it back
The cookie banner lets you accept all optional categories, reject them all, or save individual choices. Necessary cookies remain active.
You can change or withdraw your consent through the cookie settings on this site. Withdrawal updates the consent signals and removes declared first-party cookies where the browser permits. It cannot remove every cookie, other browser storage, or data already received by a provider. Reload the page after withdrawal to apply the new choice to content that has already loaded.
Your choice is stored for 12 months. If you clear this cookie or it expires, you will be asked again.
Deleting cookies in your browser
The cookie settings control your consent for Samek Tool AB. You can also inspect and delete cookies and other stored site data through your browser’s privacy or site settings. Cookies set by other sites and storage that this site cannot access must be managed there.
Blocking all cookies may affect website features, including remembering your consent choices. Deleting browser data does not delete personal data already held by us or by other providers.
