Cookie Policy

Small Files.
Clear Rules.

Cookies help the site work, remember your preferences, and tell us what's useful. This policy explains what we set, why we set it, and how you can control it — in plain language, no legalese.

Last updated: September 2026

Section 01

What Are Cookies?

A short, plain-English explanation — no jargon, no legalese. If you already know what cookies are, skip ahead to the categories section.

01

What They Are

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device — computer, tablet, or phone. They let the site remember things between visits, like whether you're logged in or which language you prefer.

They don't run programs, they don't carry viruses, and they can't access other files on your device.

02

Why We Use Them

Cookies help us keep you logged in, remember your preferences, process payments, and understand which parts of the site are useful. Without them, the auction platform couldn't function properly.

They also let us detect suspicious activity — a security benefit that protects both you and us.

03

First-Party Cookies

Set directly by Bringelands Maskinhandel AB when you visit our site. These are the cookies we control and are responsible for.

They handle the core of what the site does — keeping you logged in, securing your session, and remembering your cookie choices.

04

Third-Party Cookies

Set by external services we rely on — payment processors, analytics providers, and infrastructure partners. They help us process payments and understand how the site is used.

Third-party cookies are controlled by their providers, not by us. Full detail is in Section 05 below.

05

Other Technologies

Besides cookies, we use similar technologies — local storage, session storage, and pixels (tiny invisible images). They do the same kinds of jobs.

When this policy says "cookies," it covers these related technologies too.

06

Session vs Persistent

Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser — they exist only for the duration of your visit.

Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period — from a day to a year — so the site can remember your choices between visits.

Don't want cookies? You can block or delete them in your browser at any time. Just note that blocking essential cookies will break login, bidding and checkout — those cookies are what make the platform work.

Section 02

Cookie Categories.

Every cookie we set falls into one of four categories — defined by the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR. Only strictly necessary cookies are set without consent.

Required

Strictly Necessary

Essential for the site to work. Without them, you can't log in, bid, or complete a transaction. These cookies don't require your consent — they're allowed under the ePrivacy Directive.

  • Session management — keeps you logged in
  • Security — protects against fraud and CSRF attacks
  • Cookie consent — remembers your choices
  • Load balancing — routes traffic efficiently
Consent required No
Can be disabled No
Optional

Performance & Analytics

Tell us how the site is used — which pages are visited, where users drop off, and what could be improved. All data is anonymised and aggregated before we see it.

  • Page views — which pages are popular
  • Traffic sources — how visitors find us
  • Time on page — where users spend time
  • Error tracking — what breaks and why
Consent required Yes
Can be disabled Yes
Optional

Functionality

Remember your preferences so you don't have to re-set them every visit. Turning these off won't break the site — you'll just lose the personal touches.

  • Language & region — your preferred settings
  • Saved listings — machines you've watchlisted
  • Recently viewed — your browsing history on-site
  • Form autofill — saved delivery addresses
Consent required Yes
Can be disabled Yes
Optional

Marketing & Targeting

Track your activity across sites to show relevant ads. We don't currently use marketing cookies — but if we ever do, they'll be strictly opt-in.

  • Currently not in use — no ad networks active
  • Opt-in only — never set by default
  • Withdrawable — turn off any time
  • Not shared — with data brokers or advertisers
Consent required Yes
Can be disabled Yes
Category Purpose Consent
Strictly Necessary Login, security, consent memory Not required
Performance Analytics and site improvement Required
Functionality Remember preferences and history Required
Marketing Not in use — would be opt-in only Required
Consent is granular. When you set your cookie preferences, you choose which categories to allow — you're not forced into an all-or-nothing decision. Change your mind any time from the cookie banner.

Section 03

Cookie Inventory.

The specific cookies set on this site — name, purpose, duration, and who provides them. This list is updated whenever we add or remove a cookie.

Marketing & Targeting Not currently in use
No marketing cookies in use We don't run ad networks, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking on this site. If that ever changes, this table will list them — and they'll be strictly opt-in.
List verified via our cookie consent tool. The most accurate, up-to-date list of cookies on this site is always available in the consent banner → "Cookie settings". If you spot a cookie not listed here, tell us — we'll investigate and update this page.

Section 04

Managing Your Cookies.

You're in control. Change your preferences any time using one of the three methods below — through our site, your browser, or directly with us.

01

Cookie Banner

The fastest way to change your preferences — no browser digging, no email. The consent banner is always accessible from the footer link "Cookie settings".

  • Toggle each category on or off
  • See exactly which cookies you're approving
  • Changes apply immediately
  • Preferences stored for 12 months
Where Footer → "Cookie settings"
02

Browser Settings

Every major browser lets you block, delete, or restrict cookies. Use the settings menu — usually under Privacy & Security.

  • Block all cookies or just third-party
  • Delete existing cookies on demand
  • Set per-site exceptions
  • Enable "Do Not Track" signals
Where Your browser's help pages
03

  • Manual consent removal
  • Copy of your consent history
  • Report a cookie not on our list
  • Ask about a specific cookie

Withdrawing Consent It's as easy as giving it — no friction, no penalties.

Under GDPR, withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it. Our cookie banner lets you change preferences at any time with two clicks — no forms, no waiting periods, no impact on your ability to bid or use the site.

Immediate effect Changes apply the moment you save — no grace period.
No penalties Withdrawing consent won't restrict your account or bidding rights.
No re-asking Once you decline, we won't nag you with repeated banners.
Blocking essential cookies will break the site. Login, bidding, and checkout all rely on strictly necessary cookies. If you block these at the browser level, the platform won't work — and we can't provide a workaround.

Section 05

Third-Party Cookies.

Some cookies are set by external services we rely on — payment processors, analytics providers, hosting partners. We don't control them, but we choose them carefully and list them all here.

01

Payment Providers

Processed via PCI-compliant payment gateways. These providers set their own cookies when you enter payment details — used for fraud detection, transaction processing, and 3D Secure authentication.

  • Stripe — card payment processing
  • Klarna — buy-now-pay-later options
  • Bank transfer gateways — where applicable
Purpose Process payments securely
02

Analytics Providers

Help us understand how the site is used — anonymously and in aggregate. Analytics cookies are optional and only set if you've opted in via the consent banner.

  • Google Analytics 4 — traffic and behaviour
  • Server logs — anonymous request tracking
  • Performance monitoring — page speed & errors
Purpose Understand usage and improve the site
03

Hosting & Infrastructure

Our hosting partners and content delivery networks set essential cookies to keep the site fast, secure, and available — including load balancing and DDoS protection.

  • Web host — session and security cookies
  • CDN — content delivery and load balancing
  • Security tools — bot and DDoS protection
Purpose Keep the site secure and fast
04

Functional Plugins

Third-party features we've integrated to improve the experience — most are optional and only activate when you consent, or when you interact with the feature directly.

  • Language plugin — multilingual support
  • Map provider — location display where used
  • Live chat / support — when active on a page
Purpose Support extra site features
How We Manage Third-Party Providers Every third party we use is vetted and contractually bound.
Data-processing agreements Every provider signs a GDPR Article 28 DPA before we work with them.
EU-based where possible Priority given to providers whose data centres are within the EEA.
Annual review Third-party providers are reviewed yearly — no automatic renewals.
Want to know exactly what a provider collects? Each third-party service publishes its own privacy and cookie policy — linked from their own site. If you can't find what you need, contact us and we'll point you to the right document.

Section 06

Updates to This Policy.

Cookie practices change as the site evolves — new features, new providers, new regulations. When this policy changes, we tell you. Here's how.

01

When We Update

We review this policy at least once a year, and update it whenever there's a material change — a new cookie, a new provider, or a change in how we use existing ones.

  • Adding or removing a cookie
  • Changing a cookie's purpose or duration
  • Introducing a new third-party provider
  • Regulatory changes affecting cookies
02

How We Notify You

For material changes, we don't rely on you noticing a small "last updated" date. We'll actively tell you — through the channels you already use.

  • Banner prompt on your next visit
  • Email to registered account holders
  • Updated "last updated" date on this page
  • Updated cookie inventory above
03

Your Consent, Still Yours

A policy change doesn't silently renew your consent. If new cookies require consent, you'll be asked again — your previous choices aren't extended to cover new purposes.

  • Existing consent remains valid for existing cookies
  • New cookies require fresh consent
  • You can withdraw at any time — no penalty
  • Every preference change is logged
Version History Every version of this policy, when it was published, and what changed.
