Redirected to North America Site Instead of EMEA

User lands on the North American MILWAUKEE® site instead of the EMEA portal, resulting in wrong product availability, USD Pricing, or incorrect app download links.

2) Clear browser cookies if the auto-redirect persists.

3) Bookmark the correct EMEA URL for future use.

4) For the ONE-KEY™ app, confirm you have the EMEA version installed.

5) Do not use links shared by US-based colleagues as these may route to the North American site.

CACHE-002: 'A Member of our IT Team Has Been Notified of your Error' Dialog Appears

3) iOS: Unistall and reinstall the ONE-KEY™ app.
