Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that is stored on the user’s computer, mobile telephone or tablet when they access certain websites, applications or platforms. This file enables the user to be recognized.

Cookies are currently essential for the Internet to function and they offer numerous advantages when it comes to providing interactive services, by enhancing browsing and usability.

Cookies help websites, applications and platforms to adapt to the user’s personal needs.

Cookies cannot damage the user’s equipment. On the contrary, active cookies can help to identify and resolve errors and improve the user’s browsing experience.

One function of cookies is to store and recover information about a user's browsing preferences or their device.

This website, app or platform uses cookies and/or similar technology to store and recover information when you are browsing. Generally, this technology serves a wide range of purposes, including recognizing the user, gathering information about their browsing habits and customizing the way content is displayed.

The specific ways in which we use this technology are described below.

2. Which cookies do we use?

At www.cyclibtool.org we use cookies, logs, links and other technologies to store the user's preferences in order to improve the quality of our services, ensure technical functioning of both the web portal and the transactions carried out, measure web traffic and develop new and improved provisions, products and services offered.

Owner of the cookies:

• We use own cookies, which we send to the user’s hardware from equipment or domains that we manage and use to provide the service the user is requesting.

• We use third party cookies (for example, Google cookies) used by external businesses, social networks or external content plugins (such as for example, Google Maps). They are sent to the user's terminal from a third party device or domain which processes the data obtained from the cookies.

Cookie use:

• We use the technical cookies that are strictly necessary to enable the user to access and browse www.cyclibtool.org

Technical cookies enable the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available there. These include cookies that permit management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services such as monitoring traffic and data communication, identifying the session, obtaining access to restricted areas, remembering the different items in an order, processing purchases, managing payment, monitoring fraud linked to service security, requesting registration or participation in an event, counting visits for billing purposes related to the licenses for the software used to provide the service (website, platform or application), using security elements during browsing, storing video and sound content for publication, enabling dynamic content (e.g. loading animation for texts or images) and sharing content on social networks.

Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, as another element of the design or ‘layout’ of the service offered to the user, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform based on criteria such as the content edited, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalising that advertising content or other content.

These cookies do not require the user’s informed consent.

• We use analysis or measurement cookies, which are those that, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impact of advertisements.

The information compiled with this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, apps or platforms in order to make improvements to the goods or services offered, based on analysis of the data use made by the service users.

These cookies require the user’s informed consent.

Cookie storage duration:

• We use session cookies, which are designed to gather and store data while the user is on a website. They are normally used to store information that needs to be kept only to provide the service the user requests on a single occasion (for instance, a list of products acquired) and so they disappear at the end of the session.

• We use persistent cookies which store data on the user's device and which can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie web server that may vary from minutes to several years.

This type of information obtained through cookies will not be disclosed to third parties or used for unsolicited communications.

3. How can our users manage the cookies that we use?

Users of www.cyclibtool.org can manage the cookies and are able to reject them either individually or in full, in the Settings Sidebar.

If you disable or reject cookies, some of the functions and/or services may not function adequately.

The web portal does not control the websites shown as a result of searches, links or access from our directory. These other websites may install their own cookies or ask you for your personal information.

4. How can our users disable cookies in the leading browsers?

Otherwise, it will be necessary to obtain authorization from the competent Supervisory Authority or, failing that, the data subject’s explicit consent; alternatively, one of the other scenarios set out in Art. 49 GDPR must be applicable.
