What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or access web-based content. They are commonly used to remember preferences and settings and to help websites function correctly.

Cookies placed by the Drillster website, web application, or by web content displayed within the Drillster mobile application (via embedded web views) do not harm your computer or mobile device, nor any files stored on it.

There are different types of cookies. Some cookies are placed directly by our website or application ("first-party cookies"), while others are placed by third parties whose services may be embedded in a website or web view ("third-party cookies").

Cookies can be stored for varying lengths of time. Session cookies are deleted when you close your web browser or web view. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until they are deleted or reach their expiry date.

What are cookies for?

Cookies serve different purposes. They may be used to store information such as user preferences, language settings, or session identifiers. Websites also use cookies to understand how visitors use their site, for example by measuring visitor numbers or identifying popular pages.

Some cookies can be used to track browsing behavior across multiple websites in order to build interest profiles. This information is typically used to display relevant advertising and to avoid showing the same advertisements repeatedly.

Drillster and Cookies

This section explains how cookies are used by the Drillster platform, website, and web application.

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are strictly necessary for the website or application to function properly. Drillster uses technical cookies to provide secure user sessions and core functionality.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies are used to enhance the user experience but are not essential for the service to operate. Drillster does not use functional cookies.

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies are used to collect statistics about website or application usage. Drillster does not use analytical cookies.

Tracking cookies

Tracking cookies, also known as marketing or third-party cookies, are used to track users across websites and collect information about browsing behavior. Drillster does not use tracking or third-party cookies.

What happens if I disable cookies?

It is safe to disable or delete cookies in your browser. Since Drillster does not use third-party cookies, disabling them will not affect the service.

However, support for first-party technical cookies must be enabled in order to use the Drillster platform. Disabling these cookies will prevent the service from functioning correctly.

Please note that deleting or refusing cookies only affects the browser and device on which you perform this action. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to repeat these steps on each one. If you access your account on a public or shared computer, please ensure that you log out after use.
