Cookie Policy for Urban Rider

Last updated: July 14, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Urban Rider ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at https://www.urbanrider.app (the "Website"). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable EU and German laws, including the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in Germany through the Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz (TTDSG).

We may use cookies to collect personal data, or data that becomes personal if combined with other information. This policy ensures transparency and compliance with GDPR requirements for informed consent.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function, work more efficiently, or provide analytics.

Cookies set by us are "first-party cookies." Cookies set by third parties are "third-party cookies," which enable features like analytics or advertising. These third parties may recognize your device across sites.

Similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, or local storage, may also be used and are covered by this policy.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for essential functionality, performance improvement, and analytics. Some are strictly necessary for the Website to operate; others require your consent.

Under GDPR and TTDSG, we process cookies based on:

  • Your explicit consent for non-essential cookies (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

  • Our legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), where they are essential and do not override your rights.

We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes unless specified.

Types of cookies we use

Cookies are categorized by purpose. Below is a detailed list, including name, purpose, provider, duration, and type. We only set non-essential cookies after obtaining your consent via our cookie banner.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the Website's basic functions, such as navigation and access to secure areas. They cannot be disabled.

Performance and analytics cookies

These help us understand Website usage, such as visitor numbers and popular pages, to improve performance. They are optional and require consent.

We use Google Analytics, which may transfer data outside the EU. We ensure appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, are in place.

No functionality or targeting cookies are currently used. If added, this policy will be updated, and consent re-obtained if required.

How can you control cookies?

You have the right to accept or reject non-essential cookies via our cookie banner, which appears on your first visit. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are necessary for the Website.

You can:

  • Manage preferences anytime via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

  • Set your browser to block or alert you about cookies (e.g., in Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies).

  • Withdraw consent easily by revisiting the banner or contacting us.

Rejecting cookies may limit Website functionality. For more on browser controls, visit https://www.aboutcookies.org.

Your rights under GDPR

If cookies collect personal data, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, and objection (Art. 15-22 GDPR). Contact us to exercise them.

We document consents to demonstrate compliance (Art. 7 GDPR).

International data transfers

If third-party cookies involve transfers outside the EU/EEA (e.g., to the US), we use GDPR-approved mechanisms like adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or laws. Changes will be posted here with the updated date. For significant changes affecting your rights, we will notify you via the Website.
