Cookies and other trackers

Definition

A cookie or tracker is information read from or stored on a device when an online service is used. Some are essential to a requested function; others require prior consent.

Necessary trackers

Depending on the function used, e-zybike may use mechanisms strictly necessary for sessions, sign-in, security and protection against fraudulent requests. They are not used for targeted advertising. In this version the language is carried in the page address and is not described as a cookie.

Before public launch, a verified tracker inventory must state each tracker’s name, provider, purpose and lifetime. No optional tracker may be added under the label of a necessary tracker.

Audience measurement

Google Analytics 4 is included in the measurement plan but is not active in this version. No Google Analytics request may be sent before consent where consent is required.

Before activation, a consent management platform will offer accept and reject choices at the same level, by purpose, with withdrawal as easy as acceptance. Data sent will exclude GPS location, address, email, telephone, serial numbers and free-text searches.

Maps and third-party content

Any future map provider, video, social button or other third-party content will be assessed before loading. An optional third party subject to consent will not be contacted before the user’s positive choice.

Advertising and social media

No advertising or social-media tracker is active in this version. A future campaign or integration cannot change this principle without prior information, an appropriate legal basis and an updated partner list.

Choice and withdrawal

Users may continue with necessary trackers only. Once the preferences module is enabled, choices may be changed at any time through a permanent link. Rejecting optional trackers will not prevent access to essential functions.

Durations

Each tracker’s lifetime will be limited to what its purpose requires. The audience-measurement choice is timestamped and expires after no more than 180 days, when it is requested again. It is also invalidated after a material change to purposes, partners or this policy version.
