En kaka (cookie) är en liten textfil som webbplatsen du besöker begär att spara på din dator. Kakor används på många webbplatser för att ge en besökare tillgång till olika funktioner. Informationen i kakan är möjlig att använda för att följa en användares surfande.

Det finns två typer av kakor. Den ena typen sparar en fil under en längre tid på din dator. Den används till exempel vid funktioner som talar om vad som är nytt sedan användaren senast besökte den aktuella webbplatsen. Den andra typen av kakor kallas sessionskakor. Under tiden du är inne och surfar på en sida, lagras den här kakan temporärt i din dators minne exempelvis för att hålla reda på vilket språk du har valt. Sessionskakor lagras inte under en längre tid på din dator, utan försvinner när du stänger din webbläsare.

Byggmax webbsajt använder kakor för att spara information om butiksval och de varor som du lagt i varukorgen. Vi använder även kakor för att spara statistik och för att kunna följa hur besökare navigerar webbsajten. Det går bra att använda webbsajten även utan kakor, men då kommer inte butiksinformationen och varukorgar att sparas mellan sidorna. Vill du stänga av användningen av kakor gör du det i inställningarna för din webbläsare.
