Session Cookies

Session cookies generally remain active only while your browser session is open and are removed or expire after the session ends.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies may remain on your browser or device after you close the website and expire according to their configured duration unless you delete them earlier.

Cookie duration varies depending on the purpose of the specific cookie and the service provider responsible for it.

14. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers provide controls that allow users to:

• Block some or all cookies.

Browser controls vary by browser and device.

Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may affect the operation of cykels.com, including shopping cart and checkout functionality.

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be provided with controls relating to non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Depending on applicable requirements and website configuration, available choices may include accepting, rejecting, or managing certain categories of non-essential technologies.

Essential technologies necessary for requested website functions may operate independently of optional cookie choices where permitted by law.

16. Opting Out of Certain Advertising

Where advertising or targeted advertising technologies are used and applicable law provides an opt-out right, eligible users may exercise available privacy choices through the applicable website controls or other legally recognized mechanisms.

Changing advertising preferences does not necessarily eliminate all advertisements. It may instead limit certain forms of personalized or targeted advertising.

17. Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers or devices may transmit privacy preference signals.

Because technical standards vary, not every browser signal operates in the same way.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid opt-out preference signal, supported signals will be handled according to applicable requirements.

18. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" setting.

There is not a single universally applied standard governing all Do Not Track signals. Therefore, cykels.com may not respond uniformly to every such signal.

This does not affect privacy choices or opt-out mechanisms that we are legally required to honor.

19. Personal Information and Cookies

Some cookie identifiers or information collected through tracking technologies may qualify as personal information under applicable privacy laws.

Where applicable, such information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Our Privacy Policy explains:

• Categories of information we may collect.
• How information may be used.
• How information may be shared.
• Data retention.
• Privacy rights.
• How to submit a privacy request.

20. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Cykels does not sell personal information for money.

Certain U.S. privacy laws may use broader definitions of "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" that can include some advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising technologies.

Where those laws apply to our activities, eligible users may exercise applicable rights as required by law.

21. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information collected through our website.

However, no internet-based service, browser, cookie system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
