At Greenwheels, we find it important that our customers know which cookies our website uses and for which purposes they are used. We want to guarantee the privacy of our customers and the user-friendliness of our website as much as possible. Below we provide more information about the cookies used on and through our website and the purposes for which they are used. This website is the property of and is managed by Greenwheels BV, a subsidiary of Collect Car BV in Rotterdam (hereinafter 'Greenwheels' or 'we'), from which you have access to this cookie policy. Greenwheels determines the means and purposes of the processing of personal data as set out in this cookie policy and is therefore the data controller (within the meaning of EU Regulation 2016/679). Our Privacy Notice applies in addition to this Cookie Policy. Contact us with any questions you have about this using the contact form on our website.
What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small data files that websites place on devices as you are browsing. Cookies ensure that your device is immediately recognised next time you visit this website. By using cookies, this website or app can temporarily store information about visits and visitors. Other websites can also use these same cookies to recognise the device. Various types of cookies can be used during each visit.
Cookies are vital to ensure our website works properly. Cookies whose effect is not immediately visible are equally important. Without anonymous input from users, we have no idea how the website is used and how we can improve it.
First-party cookies and third-party cookies
Cookies are downloaded by your browser when you first visit a website. Next time you visit this website using the same device, the cookie and the information stored in it are sent back to the website that generated this cookie (first-party cookie) or to another website to which the cookie belongs (third-party website). These third parties place cookies when you have logged in to their pages and visit our website. We have no influence on the cookie settings of these websites. Please check the websites of external providers for more information about how they use cookies.
First-party and third-party cookies enable the website to recognise whether you have already visited this website using this browser. In many cases, the displayed content will vary as a result.
If you refuse all cookies, neither first-party cookies nor third-party cookies will be used. No distinction is made between these two types of cookies. If you refuse all cookies, first-party cookies and third-party cookies will be deactivated. First-party cookies will also be deleted in that case. We are unable to delete third-party cookies. You must delete these yourself. You can do this in your browser settings.
Persistent and session cookies
Depending on their duration, cookies are subdivided into persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive until its expiration date or until you delete it. A session cookie will be deleted once you close your browser.
In addition to accepting cookies when browsing a website or using an app as set out below, you can also choose whether you want to accept cookies in general by changing your browser settings.
How do you manage Cookies?
You have the option to consent to the use of cookies if you want to use all the functionality of an app or website without limitations when browsing it. You must adapt the settings individually for each browser and each computer. If you refuse the use of functional and strictly necessary cookies, this may affect your browsing experience and functionality while using the website or app. Refusing other cookies does not affect your user experience and the functionality during use.
