Cookie Statement – Bikes & Smiles
Bikes & Smiles uses cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information sent to your browser when you visit this website and then stored on your device’s hard drive or memory. When you visit us again later, this information is recognized. Cookies do not harm your devices.
Article 1 – What cookies do we use?
Below is an overview of the cookies we use via www.bikesandsmiles.com and why we use them:
Functional cookies
We use functional cookies to ensure the website works properly. These cookies allow us to display our services and products clearly and make the website more user-friendly for you. With functional cookies, you don’t have to enter the same information every time — it is stored to simplify your experience.
Analytical cookies
To support and optimize this website, we use analytical services. We have a commercial interest in analyzing your browsing behavior and related data to improve our service. We track your use of this website via Google Analytics, Meta, Klaviyo Google Ads, and HotJar. These cookies know whether you’ve visited our site before. A cookie is created on your first visit and reused on subsequent visits.
These cookies are used solely for statistical purposes, collecting data such as the number of unique visits, page views, and time spent on pages. We use JavaScript to count page visits. This helps us understand which content is most interesting to you as a visitor.
However, we highly value your privacy, which is why we’ve taken the following steps to minimize the impact of these analytical cookies:
-
We have signed data processing agreements with these providers.
-
We have agreed they will not use your data for other purposes.
-
We mask parts of your IP address.
Since the data is collected anonymously, your consent is not required for placing analytical cookies.
Tracking cookies
We use third-party tracking cookies on our website, including from Google ads and Meta, to show you personalized offers based on your browsing behavior. Your device may be recognized when you visit other websites within the same advertising network after visiting our site. This allows us to display our ads on those other websites. We use this data only to show you relevant ads and do not link it to other files.
Lastly, embedded content on this website may contain marketing cookies. Data about you as a user is only shared with these third parties when you play embedded content, click on it, or submit a form (e.g. a booking). The data collected this way is not accessible to us as the website owners.
You can choose not to consent to these cookies. However, embedded content will automatically become unavailable if you do not accept them.
Article 2 – Deleting cookies
When you first visit our website, a pop-up will appear explaining our use of cookies and asking for your preferences. Cookies that are not strictly necessary for the website’s operation will only be placed after your consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time.
If you no longer want this website to place cookies, you can adjust your browser settings to reject cookies and delete any that have already been placed. This must be done separately for each device and browser you use. Please note that this may impact the services and functions we can offer you.
Please note: If you disable cookies in your browser or use an ad blocker, your data may still be shared with Facebook via the Conversions API. You can withdraw your consent to these techniques using our cookie banner.
Article 3 – Final provisions
We recommend that you review this statement regularly, as we may update our cookie policy from time to time. Changes will be announced on our website.
