5. Consent and cookie settings
Where applicable law requires consent, non-essential cookies should be activated only after the visitor has made a valid choice through the cookie banner or cookie settings tool.
Depending on the options available on the website, you may be able to:
- accept all optional cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies;
- select individual cookie categories;
- change or withdraw a previous choice;
- delete or block cookies through your browser or device settings.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. Deleting cookies may also remove stored settings and may cause the cookie banner to appear again.
6. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. Browser controls differ between providers and devices. You should consult the help section of your browser for current instructions.
Blocking all cookies may affect login, shopping cart, forms, preferences, security controls and other marketplace functions.
7. Regional privacy choices
European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland
Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies are used only after consent. Visitors may withdraw consent at any time through the available cookie settings or browser controls.
United States
Under certain United States state privacy laws, some advertising or analytics activities may be treated as a sale, sharing, targeted advertising or cross-context behavioural advertising even where no money is exchanged.
AutoScandi does not sell personal information for monetary payment. Where cookie-related activity is legally classified as sale, sharing or targeted advertising, eligible visitors may use available privacy controls to exercise applicable opt-out rights.
Recognised browser-based opt-out signals may be processed where required by applicable law and where technically supported.
Other countries and regions
Local privacy laws may provide additional rights or apply different rules. Mandatory local law prevails where it provides protections that cannot legally be waived or restricted.
8. Cookie duration
Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiry date or until they are deleted.
Retention periods depend on the cookie's purpose, provider settings, security needs and applicable legal requirements. Cookie names, providers and retention periods may change when marketplace functions or service providers change.
