Cookie Policy
1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Decade Energy B.V. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on decade-energy.org. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which covers personal data processing more broadly.
Decade Energy is a B2B fleet charging optimization platform. We added website analytics to measure inbound traffic from fleet operators and logistics companies considering the product. We have kept the cookie footprint minimal: only strictly necessary cookies are set without your consent, and analytics cookies are added only if you choose to accept them.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device across page loads, store your preferences, and measure how pages are used. We also use related technologies such as localStorage for functional state (for example, storing your cookie-consent decision).
3. Your Consent
We operate a prior-consent model in accordance with the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and GDPR. Non-essential cookies, including analytics cookies, are not set until you give your prior consent through our cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from this requirement; they are the minimum needed for the site to function.
You can change your consent at any time. Use the "Cookie preferences" link in the page footer to reopen the banner and update your choice. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings at any time.
4. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Examples | Lifetime | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session state, CSRF token, cookie-consent record (localStorage) | Session to 12 months | Legitimate interest / contract performance; no consent required |
| Preferences | UI state, language preference | Up to 12 months | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) |
| Analytics | Self-hosted or privacy-preserving analytics, anonymized page-view and session data | Up to 13 months | Consent (ePrivacy + Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) |
| Marketing | Not currently used | Not applicable | Consent (would be required if activated) |
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some analytics cookies may be set by third-party providers acting as processors for the Company under Article 28 GDPR data-processing agreements. We only enable third-party analytics cookies after you have given consent. We do not permit third-party advertising or tracking networks to place cookies on decade-energy.org.
6. Managing Cookies
- Use the cookie banner shown on your first visit to accept all cookies or accept only strictly necessary cookies. You can reopen it at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.
- Browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies at any time. Instructions for major browsers are available at aboutcookies.org.
- Browser-transmitted opt-out signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), are honored for analytics and marketing categories. When we detect a GPC signal, non-essential cookies are not set regardless of any previously stored consent record.
7. Changes to This Policy
If we change the cookies or tracking technologies we use, we will update this policy with a new "Last updated" date. Where the change involves cookies that require consent, we will display the banner again and ask for your renewed consent before setting any new non-essential cookies.
