Publication date: 2 August 2026.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a website is visited. They can be session cookies, which expire when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which remain until their stated expiry or deletion. First-party cookies are set for the Website's domain. Third-party technologies are provided by another organisation.
Pixels, tags, local storage and software-development tools can perform similar functions. References to “cookies” in this policy include these technologies where appropriate.
3. Consent and cookie settings
Strictly necessary technologies are used without consent where they are required to transmit a communication, provide a function expressly requested by the visitor, keep the Website secure, prevent fraud, or maintain the shopping session.
The storage of information on a visitor's device, or access to information already stored there, is governed by section 155(4) of Hungarian Act C of 2003 on electronic communications in addition to the GDPR. Consent is required unless the operation is strictly necessary to provide an information-society service expressly requested by the visitor. “Strictly necessary” is interpreted narrowly and does not include ordinary analytics, advertising or social-media measurement.
All optional analytics, advertising, social-media and personalisation technologies are disabled by default. They are activated only after the visitor has made a freely given choice through the cookie banner.
The banner provides equally accessible options to:
- Accept all optional cookies;
- Reject non-essential cookies; and
- Manage settings by purpose.
Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent access to the Website or the checkout. Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time through the permanently available Cookie settings link in the Website footer. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
The Website records the consent selection so that it can respect and demonstrate the choice. The banner is shown again when the purposes or providers materially change and, in any event, no later than 13 months after the previous choice.
4. Cookies and technologies used
The exact lifetime can be shortened by browser settings, deletion, provider changes or the end of a session. The consent manager's current list shown in Cookie settings takes precedence if a provider changes a technical cookie name.
4.1 Strictly necessary
| Provider / technology | Typical name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCBNow / OpenCart session | OCSESSID |
Maintains the cart, login and shopping session | Session |
| PCBNow language | language |
Remembers the visitor's language selection | Up to 30 days |
| PCBNow currency | currency |
Remembers the displayed currency | Up to 30 days |
| Consent manager | SensNet/consent platform | Stores the visitor's consent or rejection and the policy version | Up to 13 months |
| Barion Base Pixel | ba_vid, ba_vid.[shop-id] |
Barion fraud prevention; identifies a browser across sessions and, for the shop-specific variant, links the identifier to this merchant | Up to 1.5 years from the latest update |
| Barion Base Pixel | ba_sid, ba_sid.[shop-id] |
Barion fraud prevention; identifies the current browser session and, for the shop-specific variant, links the session to this merchant | Up to 30 minutes |
| Google reCAPTCHA | provider cookies and local storage | Protects registration, contact and return forms from automated abuse | According to Google's current retention settings |
SensNet's legal basis for necessary session and fraud-prevention processing is performance of requested services and its legitimate interest in securing the Website, orders and payments. Necessary technologies cannot be switched off through the consent panel, but the browser may block them; doing so can prevent cart, account, form or payment functions from working.
The Barion Base Pixel is used only for fraud prevention unless SensNet has separately contracted for and implemented the Full Barion Pixel. Barion Payment Zrt. independently determines the data processing performed through its pixel and payment service. More information is available in Barion's privacy notice.
4.2 Analytics — consent required
| Provider / technology | Typical name | Purpose | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | _ga |
Distinguishes visitors for aggregated usage measurement | Up to 2 years |
| Google Analytics 4 | _ga_RJPTGD4TJJ |
Maintains and counts sessions for PCBNow's measurement property | Up to 2 years |
Google Analytics must not load or send measurement data before analytics consent. SensNet uses the resulting statistics to understand Website performance and improve content and ordering flows. The legal basis is the visitor's consent.
4.3 Advertising and conversion measurement — consent required
| Provider / technology | Typical name | Purpose | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Ads | _gcl_au and related identifiers |
Measures advertising conversions and, where enabled, supports advertising attribution | Up to 3 months |
| Full Barion Pixel, if separately enabled | BarionMarketingConsent.[shop-id] and associated pixel
events |
Marketing measurement and personalisation offered under a separate Barion agreement | Up to 1.5 years |
Google Ads and any Full Barion Pixel marketing functions must remain blocked until advertising consent is granted. If consent is rejected or withdrawn, SensNet sends the relevant denial signal and does not fire optional marketing events. The legal basis is consent.
4.4 Social media and external content — consent required
Twitter/X widgets, embedded media or other third-party content can place identifiers or receive device and usage data. Such content does not contact its provider until the visitor grants social-media or equivalent optional consent.
Google Fonts are served from PCBNow's own server. Fonts or other assets requested directly from a third party load only after the relevant consent, unless they are strictly necessary and the required information is provided.
