Cookie Policy of refurb.me
This document informs Users about the technologies that help refurb.me to achieve the purposes described below. Such technologies allow the Owner to access and store information (for example by using a Cookie) or use resources (for example by running a script) on a User’s device as they interact with refurb.me.
For simplicity, all such technologies are defined as "Trackers" within this document, unless there is a reason to differentiate.
For example, while Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile apps as they are a browser-based Tracker. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookies is only used where it is specifically meant to indicate that particular type of Tracker.
Some Trackers are strictly necessary to provide the Service or remember choices the User makes, so they do not require the User's consent. Others measure which pages lead Users to the offers they choose. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Brazil, and wherever refurb.me cannot tell the User's country, refurb.me uses these only once the User accepts them in the cookie banner.
Refurb.me uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called "first-party" Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by a third-party (so-called "third-party" Trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may access the Trackers managed by them.
The validity and expiration periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what’s specified in the descriptions within each of the categories below, Users may find more precise and updated information regarding lifetime specification as well as any other relevant information (such as the presence of other Trackers) in the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the Owner.

Cloudflare (Cloudflare Inc.)
Cloudflare is a traffic optimization and distribution service provided by Cloudflare Inc.

Place of processing: United States, Privacy Policy.
Trackers duration:
- _cfuvid: indefinite
- cf_clearance: 30 minutes
Measurement
Refurb.me measures traffic with Plausible Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics. None of them uses Cookies or stores anything on the User's device, so they are not Trackers in the sense of this document. The privacy policy describes the data they process.
Trackers managed directly by the Owner
Visit and click measurement Cookies
These Cookies link a visit (the page it started on, the site or campaign that brought the User and the last article read) and the last product, filter or listing viewed to the offers the User clicks, so the Owner can tell which pages lead to purchases. The Owner sends this information to PostHog under a pseudonymous identifier, as the privacy policy describes.
Personal Data processed: Tracker; Usage Data.
Trackers duration:
- v5_visit (the current visit): 30 minutes
- v5_last_filter_id, v5_last_longtail_path, v5_last_product_view_id (link a click on an offer to the page it came from): 10 minutes
How to manage Trackers on refurb.me
Users can accept or reject the measurement Trackers in the cookie banner and change their answer at any time through the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. Rejecting them deletes the measurement Cookies. With regard to Cloudflare's Trackers, Users can find more information in Cloudflare's privacy policy or by contacting Cloudflare.
