Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie typically comprises the domain that created it, a distinctive value (frequently a random code) and an expiration date. Cookies lack the ability to access other data stored on your device and are not executable applications.

GroeiX uses cookies to keep the website secure and functional, to remember the choices you make, to understand which pages are useful, and - where you have agreed - to measure the performance of our marketing. Strictly necessary cookies are set as soon as you open the site because the site cannot work without them. All other categories are only activated after you give consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are necessary to keep the site operational: they sustain your login state as you browse different sections, distribute server load, guard submission forms from bot attacks and retain your prior cookie permission selections. They do not create a behavioral profile and cannot be disabled via our consent interface, as disabling them would cause essential functionality like user authentication to malfunction.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These store your selected preferences - such as the language for display, your location, how content is shown or whether you have closed a notice. They enhance your experience but are optional; declining them does not prevent the site from functioning, though it will prompt you to specify your preferences on every session.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These help us count visits, see which pages are read, how long people stay and where errors occur. The reporting is aggregated: it tells us that a page is popular or slow, not who you are. We use the results to fix problems and to improve the structure of the site.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.

Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies persist for the length of their validity window or until you remove them manually; on this website these durations span from several days to approximately two years, contingent on their use case. You can always find the precise expiration of any cookie in your browser's cookie management interface.

We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.

Certain cookies originate from third-party vendors working under our direction, including those specializing in usage analytics, network optimization, security measures or campaign reporting. These vendors are able to access their own cookies during your visits to other websites utilizing their solutions. We do not govern third-party cookie content; how these organizations utilize collected information is subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies.

For third-party cookies that are not mandatory, placement occurs only after you grant approval through our consent tool. To obtain the current list of active vendors, reach out to our support team and we will furnish current information.

Through our banner

Adjust your choices using the consent interface or the cookie preferences option available on the site to allow or decline the optional, statistical and promotional categories. Blocking a category halts the creation of new cookies in that classification; previously saved cookies may be erased from your browser's storage.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.

We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.

If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
