Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Wooting (“Wooting”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on wooting.io and related domains (including wooting.nl) (together, the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use several services and technologies, such as analytics, pixels, and web beacons that read or store information on your device in the form of cookies. Under the ePrivacy Directive, we need your prior consent for any non-essential cookies given under the GDPR standard for valid consent (freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous).

Our goal is to better understand how you interact with our website, and where you come from on the internet. Depending on the consent you provide, you're helping us improve our website layout and design, understand which ads might have brought Wooting to your attention, and to reach you or people like you.

3. What types of cookies we use and why

We group cookies by purpose to keep things clear:

Essential - These are the cookies you can't turn off because they are required for the website to function at all. For example, a cookie that registers your consent setting in the first place, or one that passes your cart information to the checkout page, while other cookies are used for security purposes like preventing fraud. We need these cookies to provide the basic service that you request by using the site, which is why this consent is always given and cannot be turned off when you visit Wooting.io.

Functional - Functional cookies help us remember choices you make about how you want to use Wooting.io, such as choosing your region, language, and other basic settings that most users don't want to choose every time they use our website. Functional cookies are optional and you can opt out of these if you prefer that we don't remember your preferences.

Analytics - We use Google Analytics to discover Site usage, like which pages you visit, which links you click, and more. Our goal is to make the site easier and more user friendly to navigate and make the experience of buying from Wooting easier and more pleasant. You'll help us a great deal by agreeing to allow analytics cookies, but they are not required at all to be able to use Wooting.io.

Advertising & Personalization - Wooting uses several advertising providers to reach users like yourself, to grow our brand and increase our sales. If you agree to advertising cookies then you are helping us and our advertising partners (Google, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, and possibly others in future) to understand what kind of people might be interested in a Wooting product. And if you found Wooting by clicking on an advertisement, then you are also helping us understand how effective our advertising is. This is beneficial to us as a company but absolutely not required to be able to use Wooting.io.

You can find a complete list of first and third party cookies in section 7.

4. Legal bases

Strictly necessary cookies are placed and processed because they are necessary to provide services you request, such as cookies that enable basic functionality of our website and cookies that make it possible to complete a sale.

All other cookies are placed and read only with your explicit, informed consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

5. How we obtain, refuse, and withdraw consent

When you first visit, you can make a selection in our cookie banner as to which cookies you are willing to consent to: Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage Preferences per category. We do not set non-essential, or Manage Preferences per category. We do not set non-essential cookies until you choose Accept. Refusing is as easy as accepting, and you can change your mind any time.

Change settings later: Click the “Manage Cookies” button at the bottom of any page to reopen the preferences pop up and update your choices.

Browser controls: You can also block or delete cookies via your browser settings (see the Help menu of your browser for instructions).

6. Third-party cookies and disclosures

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us (for example, payment processing, analytics, and advertising). When those cookies are used, those third parties may collect data directly from your browser.
