Cookie Policy
ICTS Logistic s.r.o.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other settings) for a certain period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit the site or navigate from one page to another.
Cookies can be first-party (set directly by our website) or third-party (set by external service providers, e.g., by Google for analytics purposes). Third-party cookies (e.g., from Google Analytics) allow service providers to collect data about user behavior across multiple websites and are primarily used for traffic analysis and site performance.
Cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels, web beacons) may constitute personal data within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (hereinafter referred to as "GDPR") if they enable direct or indirect identification of the user. Even pseudonymised data (such as IP addresses or unique user identifiers) are considered personal data and are subject to protection under GDPR.
We distinguish between session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period of validity or until you manually delete them.
2. Legal basis for processing
The processing of personal data through cookies is carried out on the following legal bases:
Essential cookies — legitimate interest of the controller in ensuring the functionality of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR);
Functional cookies — currently not in use. If implemented, the legal basis will be determined according to the scope of data processed;
Analytics cookies — user consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) in accordance with the ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)).
Consent for optional cookies is required separately (granular consent) and is not conditional on consent to other processing operations. In accordance with the CJEU ruling in the Planet49 case (C-673/17), all optional cookies are disabled by default (opt-in) and require active user consent.
Optional cookies are only stored after the user has given consent through the cookie banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time just as easily as you gave it.
3. What cookies do we use?
3.1 Essential cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic functionality of the website and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set only in response to your actions that constitute a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.
| Name | Purpose | Validity | Provider | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Storing your consent to the use of cookies | 12 months | icts-logistic.eu | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) |
3.2 Functional cookies
We currently do not use functional cookies. If implemented, this section will be updated.
3.3 Analytics cookies
In order to improve our services, we may implement analytics cookies in the future to measure website traffic and performance. In such cases, all information will be pseudonymised and processed in aggregated form. IP addresses will be anonymised using the IP anonymization feature, thereby minimizing the scope of personal data processed.
If analytics cookies are activated, the following cookies may be used:
| Name | Purpose | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishing users | 2 years |
| _ga_[container-id] | Maintaining session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishing users | 24 hours |
| _gat | Request rate limiting | 1 minute |
Provider: Google Analytics | Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR)
Google Analytics may also use other technical cookies required for the functioning of analytics services (e.g., _gcl_*, _gac_*).
More information about Google Analytics cookies can be found at: support.google.com/analytics/answer/11397207
4. Google Consent Mode V2
If Google Analytics is implemented, Google Consent Mode V2 will be deployed on our website to ensure the proper functioning of analytics tools depending on the user's cookie consent.
Google Consent Mode V2 will work with the following parameters:
analytics_storage — controls whether cookies can be stored for analytics purposes. Without user consent, detailed behavioral data on the website will not be collected.
ad_storage — controls the storage of cookies for advertising purposes. Our company currently does not use advertising cookies; this parameter is set to "denied".
ad_user_data / ad_personalization — parameters for advertising purposes. Our company currently does not use them; both are set to "denied".
functionality_storage — controls the storage of functional cookies.
security_storage — controls the storage of security cookies. Both parameters are set to "granted" as they are essential for the proper functioning of the website.
5. Transfer of personal data to third parties
If Google Analytics is activated, your personal data (pseudonymised identifier, anonymised IP address, website behavioral data) may be transferred to:
- Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
- Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
The transfer of personal data to the USA (a third country outside the EEA) will be carried out on the basis of:
- EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) — European Commission adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR). Google LLC is certified under the DPF.
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) approved by the European Commission (Art. 46 GDPR) as a supplementary protection mechanism.
Data will be retained for a maximum of 14 months from the last user activity in accordance with the default data retention settings in Google Analytics 4.
If Google Analytics is deployed, we will conduct a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) in accordance with EDPB recommendations and Schrems II.
In addition to Google (Google Analytics), your data may also be shared with other service providers — hosting provider, cloud service provider, and website technical support — who act as processors and process data exclusively based on our instructions and concluded data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
