COOKIE POLICY OF GLINT OUT

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy”) describes how Kevin Leci Mobility (“Glint Out”, “we”, “our”) uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies when you visit our website www.glint-out.ch or use our mobile application (collectively, the “Platform”).

This policy must be read together with our Data Protection Notice (Privacy Policy), which provides further details on how we process your personal data.


2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send to and store on their computer or mobile device, to be sent back to the same sites on the next visit. Thanks to cookies, a website remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, chosen language, font size, display settings, etc.), so they do not have to be re-entered when the user returns to the site or navigates from one page to another.

There are different types of cookies:

  1. Session cookies: Automatically deleted when the browser is closed.
  2. Persistent cookies: Remain on the user’s device until a pre-set expiration date.
  3. First-party cookies: Set and managed directly by Glint Out.
  4. Third-party cookies: Set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, for example when we integrate services from other companies into our Platform (e.g., Google Maps, Stripe).

3. Types of Cookies Used and Their Purpose

Our Platform uses different types of cookies for different purposes. In compliance with current legislation, your prior consent is required for the installation of analytical and functional cookies. Technical cookies, however, do not require such consent as they are essential for the operation of the Platform.

3.1. Strictly Necessary Technical Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Platform and to allow you to use our services. They cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set in response to your actions that constitute a request for services, such as managing login sessions, filling out forms, or handling the booking process.

  1. Purpose: Ensure navigation and use of the Platform, secure connections, user authentication, and the proper functioning of payment services.
  2. Consent: Not required.

3.2. Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Platform to provide enhanced functionality and greater personalization. They remember the choices you make (such as language or region) to provide a more personalized and improved browsing experience. If you do not consent to the use of these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

  1. Purpose: Remember your preferences (e.g., language, map settings), improve the usability of the Platform.
  2. Consent: Your prior consent is required.

3.3. Analytical (or Performance) Cookies

These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform by collecting aggregated and anonymous information about the number of visitors, the most visited pages, and navigation paths. We use this information to analyze performance and improve the structure and content of the Platform.

At present, Glint Out does not directly use third-party analytical cookies (such as Google Analytics). Should we decide to implement them in the future, we will do so only after obtaining your explicit consent via our cookie management banner.

  1. Purpose: Aggregate statistical analysis to optimize the Platform.
  2. Consent: Your prior consent is required.

3.4. Marketing and Profiling Cookies

These cookies are used to track your browsing on the internet and create profiles on your tastes, habits, and choices in order to display advertising messages in line with your preferences.

Glint Out does not use marketing or profiling cookies to display third-party advertising on its Platform.


4. Third-Party Cookies Used on the Platform

While browsing our Platform, you may also receive cookies managed by different organizations (“third parties”). This happens because our Platform includes essential elements for our service, provided by external partners. We have no control over these cookies as they are managed directly by the third parties.

  1. Google Maps: To provide location services and interactive maps, we integrate Google Maps. This service sets cookies (e.g., NID, CONSENT) to remember your preferences, such as zoom level or language.

    For more information: Google Privacy Policy

  2. Stripe: For secure payment processing, we rely on Stripe. Stripe uses strictly necessary cookies to ensure transaction security and prevent fraud (e.g., __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid).

    For more information: Stripe Cookie Policy


5. How to Manage and Withdraw Consent

You have full control over your cookies and can manage your preferences at any time.

  1. Cookie Banner and Preferences Center: On your first access to the Platform, an information banner will be displayed allowing you to accept all cookies, reject them, or customize your choices for each category. You can modify or withdraw your consent at any time by accessing our Cookie Preferences Center, available via a permanent link in the footer of our site.

  2. Browser Settings: You can manage your cookie preferences directly within your browser. You can delete cookies installed in the past or block the installation of new ones. Disabling technical cookies, however, may compromise the operation of some sections of the Platform.
