This Cookie Policy explains in a clear and accessible way what cookies we use on the DrinkCare website and why. We strictly comply with the European ePrivacy Directive, the guidelines of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), and the GDPR.
1. What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit them. They are commonly used to enable technical website operation, remember preferences, or analyze how users interact anonymously with the site.
2. What types of cookies does DrinkCare use?
Our website uses only two categories of cookies, respecting your choices at all times:
a) Technical and Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)
These are essential for the website to run properly. Without these cookies, basic services cannot be provided.
- cc_cookie: This is the cookie from our consent manager. It remembers whether you have accepted or rejected optional cookies so we do not bother you with the cookie banner on every visit. It lasts for 6 months.
b) Performance and Analytics Cookies (Blocked by default)
Only loaded with your explicit consent. These cookies help us understand how users interact with our site (such as pages visited, load times, and error rates). All information is aggregated and completely anonymized.
Currently, these cookies are disabled by default and will only load if you click "Accept all" in the consent banner.
3. Managing Your Preferences and Consent
In compliance with GDPR, you can manage, modify, or revoke your consent at any time:
