COOKIE NOTICE

What is a cookie?

Whenever you visit a website for the first time, your internet browser downloads a small text file (the so-called cookie) that stores your internet settings. When you visit this website again by using the same device, the stored cookies will use the stored information and ensure that the visitor is recognised. If you accept our cookies, we will collect information about your device such as your IP address, the date and time the computer visits the website and what parts of our website are looked at. For the use of most cookies, we need your prior consent which you can withhold or revoke at any moment. You will still be able to visit our website, but you will only see the parts and functions of the website that do not rely on cookies for which your consent is needed.

Which cookies do we use?

We use cookies to offer content that is of interest to you, and to ensure that your preferences and settings are used with each repeat visit of our website. The cookies also help us to maintain and improve the functionality and use of our website and your experience. Based on the functions and purposes of cookies we can distinguish four categories of cookies: (1) strictly necessary cookies, (2) functional cookies, (3) performance cookies and (4) marketing cookies.

1)      Strictly necessary cookies                                                                       

These are the essential cookies that ensure that you can use the basic functionality of the website. These cookies are stored on your device when you visit our website. By means of an example, these cookies are used when you open the bike configurator, and ensure that a resolution is applied that matches your internet connection, or to remember prior actions (such as entered text and vehicle configurations) when you return to a page during the same session. As these cookies are necessary, your consent for the use of such cookies is not needed. The processing of this information is technically necessary for enabling you to use our website. The legal basis for the use of such strictly necessary cookies and the processing is the performance of the contract Chapter III Section 12 (b), and/or legitimate interest (f) RA 10173 “Data Privacy Act of 2012.

2)      Legal basis for other cookies

For all other cookies that are listed below, your prior consent is needed to use such cookies. If you do not provide such consent or revoke such consent at a later moment in time, you will only be able to access and use the functions of the website that do not rely on such cookies. Some parts of our website where third party content is used (and where third party cookies may be installed) will not be available to ensure that such cookies are not installed. You can give your consent at any time should you want to visit these parts of our website at a later moment. If you do not consent to any kind of cookies, you may also apply the configuration options that your internet browser offers. Our website may not be able to recognise these configuration options.

The legal basis for the cookies that are listed below is your consent, Chapter III Section 12 (a)   RA 10173 “Data Privacy Act of 2012. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on the consent before its withdrawal.

3)      Functional cookies

These cookies save information that you provide on the website (like name, address and location) in order to specify and personalize the functions that the website offers. For example, if you enter your current location, the website will show you the dealer nearby and will save this information for your next visit to the website. These cookies collect anonymous information and cannot track your use of other websites.

4)      Performance cookies

Performance cookies are not strictly necessary, but collect information on how the website is used. These cookies enable forms to be pre-filled and the storing of language settings. Without your consent you would need to fill in forms and confirm such settings every time you switch pages. These cookies try to avoid identification of the visitor, but are solely used to improve the user experience and the general performance of the website.

The website also contains integrated third party content, of which the bike configurator is an example. These third parties may use their cookies on the website to collect information about your visit of the bike configurator, subject to your consent.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, LLC.,  which uses cookies to analyse how visitors use our website.

The cookies store information on your visit of a website and could share this information with potential advertisers on the website. Vice versa, these other organisations can provide the information regarding website functionality, which is linked to the improvement of campaign targeting and advertising.
