About Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve the user experience, analyze traffic, and display relevant marketing. This policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your consent.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files saved on your computer, mobile, or other device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your settings, such as language choice, login, or products in your shopping cart. Some cookies are deleted automatically when you leave the website, while others are stored for a certain period or until you delete them yourself.

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies to:

• Ensure the website functions correctly.
• Provide you with a more personal and user-friendly experience.
• Measure and analyze traffic anonymously to improve our services.
• Show ads that are relevant to you.

3. What types of cookies do we use?

We use the following types of cookies on our website:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They enable basic functions such as login, shopping cart, checkout, and secure navigation. They also help detect and prevent fraud or other attempts at unauthorized access to your information and our services.

Functional cookies

These cookies are used to save your choices and speed up loading times the next time you visit us. They help the website remember your previous settings, like country or language, so you don't have to set them again on every visit. They also enable the ”Remember me” function upon login. Functional cookies additionally help the site securely remember your most recently viewed products and your shopping cart.

Statistics and analytics cookies

We use these to collect anonymous statistics on how the website is used, for example, which pages are visited most and where visitors come from. This is done so we can understand user behavior and continuously improve Tingstad's website.

Marketing cookies

These cookies help us show you more relevant ads. We do not sell your data. Our partners may use the information to build a profile of your interests and thereby show fewer, but more relevant, ads on other platforms.

More information on how we handle personal data can be found under frequently asked questions.

4. Third-party cookies

We may allow third parties to place cookies on our website to deliver certain services, such as analytics tools, advertising, and video/media content. These third-party providers are responsible for the cookies they set. Read more in their respective privacy policies.

We use Google's services, such as Google Analytics and Google Ads, to analyze traffic and display ads. When you consent to these cookies, certain personal information, as well as data on how you use our website, is shared with Google. Google processes this data in accordance with their privacy and data protection rules. For more information on how Google handles your data, please visit their Privacy Policy and Terms.

Please note that strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off as they are required for the website to function.
