This Cookie Policy explains how we as Pedalix GmbH use cookies and other tracking technologies on our websites. In addition to our Privacy Policy, we explain how these technologies work and why we use them, as well as your rights to control the usage.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that contains a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows this website to recognize your browser. Cookies can store user preferences and other information. Cookies provide a convenience feature to save you time or tell the web server that you have returned to a particular page. 

Cookies that are set by us as the website owner are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties (third parties) other than the website owner are called third party cookies. Third-party cookies enable the provision of features or functionality on the Website (for example, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics). Such cookies can recognize your computer both when you visit that website and when you visit certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for a variety of reasons. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons to make our website work, and we refer to these as important or essential cookies. Other cookies allow us to track our users' interests to improve their experience on our websites and subscription service. For example, we track the websites and pages you visit within Pedalix to determine which part of the website or subscription service is most popular or most used. This data is used to deliver tailored content and promotions within the Subscription Service to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area. Third parties use cookies through our websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

What types of cookies do we use and how do we use them?

The categories of first-party and third-party cookies used through our website include:

• Important (essential) website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with the services available through our website. Without them, our website would not function properly.
• Performance and functional cookies: These cookies are used to improve the performance and functionality of our website, but are not essential for its use. However, without these cookies, certain functions may no longer be available.
• Analytics cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to better understand how our website is used or how effective our marketing campaigns are to tailor our website to your needs.
• Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform actions that make ads as relevant as possible and ensure that ads are displayed correctly for advertisers. 
• Social cookies: These cookies are used to allow you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our websites via social networks and other third-party websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.
  
  

Cookies also distinguish between temporary cookies, which are automatically deleted after a certain time, and permanent cookies, which are stored permanently.
