1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy applies to all users of the “Dorna Bike” website. The information below is intended to inform users of this website about how “Dorna Bike” places, uses and manages cookies while users browse this website.
2. What are cookies?
We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.
An “Internet cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie”, “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file made of letters and numbers that is stored on the computer, mobile device or other equipment a user accesses the internet with.
Cookies are installed at the request of a web server to a browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Safari). Once installed, cookies have a limited lifetime and remain “passive”, meaning they contain no software, viruses or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose device they were installed.
A cookie consists of two parts:
- the name of the cookie; and
- the content or value of the cookie.
Technically, only the web server that sent a cookie can access it again when the user returns to the website associated with that server.
3. What are cookies used for on this website?

4. How long do cookies last?
The lifetime of cookies can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which they are placed. The following categories of cookies also determine how long they last:
- Session cookies – a “session cookie” is deleted automatically when the user closes the browser.
- Persistent or fixed cookies – a “persistent” or “fixed” cookie stays on the user’s device until it reaches a set expiry date (which can be minutes, days or several years in the future) or until the user deletes it at any time through the browser settings.
