1. What are cookies?

+

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts or device identifiers. In this Cookies Policy, the word “cookies” includes cookies and similar technologies.

2. How KIBOPC uses cookies

+

KIBOPC may use cookies to make the website work correctly, remember your selected PC components while using the configurator, keep your selected build or cart active while browsing, maintain website security, prevent fraud or abuse, remember cookie preferences, understand website performance and improve the website where analytics cookies are enabled.

3. Strictly necessary cookies

+

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to work or to provide a service you specifically request. KIBOPC may use strictly necessary cookies or local/session storage to remember selected PC components in the configurator, keep your current PC build active while browsing, keep items in your cart, manage checkout or quote-request functionality, remember cookie-consent preferences, maintain website security and prevent fraud. These cookies do not require consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the website function or service requested by you. If you disable them, parts of the website may not work properly.

4. Configurator cookies and local storage

+

KIBOPC may use cookies, local storage or session storage to remember your selected PC components while you browse the website and configurator. This may include selected CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM, SSD or storage, power supply, case, cooler, fans or RGB options, selected operating system or setup options, estimated price, compatibility choices and a saved build ID or temporary configuration ID. Where these technologies are used only to provide the configurator, cart, quote or checkout functionality requested by you, they are treated as strictly necessary.

5. Google Analytics cookies

+

KIBOPC uses Google Analytics to measure website traffic and understand how visitors use the website. Google Analytics may help us understand how many users visit the website, which pages are viewed most often, how visitors use the PC Configurator, which products or configurations are viewed, how users move through the website, where technical errors or performance issues occur and how marketing or referral traffic reaches the website. Google Analytics cookies are analytics cookies. They are not strictly necessary for the website to function and are not required for you to use the PC Configurator, request a quote or browse the website. KIBOPC will only set Google Analytics cookies where you have given consent, where consent is required by law. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies such as analytics identifiers. Examples may include cookies such as _ga, _ga_* or similar Google Analytics cookies, depending on the current website setup. Google Analytics may involve data transfers outside the European Economic Area, including to Google LLC in the United States. Where this happens, Google and/or KIBOPC rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms. You can reject Google Analytics cookies through the KIBOPC cookie banner or cookie settings and still use the website.

6. Marketing and third-party cookies

+

KIBOPC may use marketing or advertising cookies only if they are enabled on the website and only where legally permitted. Marketing cookies are not strictly necessary and will only be used where required consent has been obtained. Some cookies or similar technologies may be set by third-party services used on the KIBOPC website, such as Stripe, website hosting or security providers, analytics providers, customer-support or chat tools, embedded content providers, delivery or tracking tools where applicable.

7. Cookie consent and browser controls

+

Where cookies are not strictly necessary, KIBOPC will request your consent before setting them, where required by law. Consent should be freely given, specific, informed and based on a clear affirmative action. You should be able to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies, manage cookie preferences and change or withdraw consent later. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view cookies, delete cookies, block cookies, block third-party cookies, clear site data and manage permissions for specific websites.
