Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 July 2026
This page explains what cookies nordictechco.shop sets, why, and how to control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels, SDKs — do the same job and are covered by this policy too.
Consent
Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and the Italian Data Protection Authority's cookie guidelines, we set strictly necessary cookies without asking. Everything else — analytics, marketing — is set only after you consent through our cookie banner.
Declining is as easy as accepting. Neither choice affects your ability to browse or buy. You can change your mind at any time using the cookie preferences link in the footer of every page.

Third-party recipients
Analytics and marketing cookies transmit data to Shopify Inc., Google LLC and Meta Platforms Inc. respectively. Where this involves a transfer outside the EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision — see the International transfers section of our Privacy Policy.
Controlling cookies in your browser
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the basket and checkout. Instructions: Chrome · Firefox · Safari · Edge.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where your browser sends one, treating it as a withdrawal of consent to analytics and marketing cookies.
