Trust2me uses cookies. In the interest of transparency and informing you about what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, and how you can control them, we have adopted this Cookies Policy.
This Cookies Policy, along with the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, constitutes an integral part of the Agreement between Trust2me and you. Therefore, we suggest that you read all three documents together and consider them as a whole. Also, when reading, please keep in mind that terms written with an initial capital letter have the same meaning as defined in the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that contain certain data and are stored on your computer or mobile device when you access a specific website. Each time you visit that website, cookies can be recognized by that site, as well as by another site that can recognize that cookie.
The essence of cookies is to enable the recognition of the visitor's device and, based on that, provide the best possible configuration of the site. For the same purpose, cookies are present on our site, making Trust2me easier to use, more efficient, and safer. Other technologies serve a similar function as cookies, such as "web beacons" or "pixels." In this Cookies Policy, the term "cookie" will also be used to refer to these technologies. In addition to collecting information about the use of the site, some types of cookies allow for differentiation between you and other visitors.
Below you can find an overview of all the cookies currently in use on our site. Although we make every effort to regularly and timely update this information, please keep in mind that the number and names of cookies are variable categories, and there may be minor discrepancies from the information provided from time to time.
2. Types of Cookies
Cookies are typically categorized into three categories based on their duration, origin (provider), and purpose.
By Duration:
Session Cookies – These are stored in temporary memory and remain active only until you close your browser or the session ends. One of the functions of this category of cookies is to prevent the site from requesting the same information (such as login credentials) multiple times.
Persistent Cookies – By nature, these last longer than session cookies. However, each persistent cookie has a set expiration date, which can vary from cookie to cookie. Persistent cookies remain stored until you or your browser deletes them.
By Origin:
First-Party Cookies – Cookies that originate from Trust2me (i.e., the domain the visitor accessed).
Third-Party Cookies – Cookies placed on your device by a third party (in relation to you and Trust2me). These are often from social networks or entities providing marketing or analytical services.
By Purpose:
- Necessary

4. Use of External Tools on Our Site
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a website analysis service integrated into our Site. Site analysis involves the collection, recording, and analysis of data related to visitor behavior on the Site. In other words, Google Analytics uses cookies to remember visitor behavior and provide us with reports on Site visits and user activities. Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, operates the Google Analytics technology on the Site. Click on this link to read the text that explains how Google processes personal data through Google Analytics.
Google Analytics uses cookies, as previously mentioned. Information about the use of our Site collected by Google Analytics cookies is typically transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This personal data, collected through technical procedures, may be shared by Google with third parties. We have activated IP address anonymization, meaning that Google shortens our visitors’ IP addresses within EU member states as well as other EEA countries. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA, where it will then be shortened. Therefore, Google uses this information to analyze your use of the Site, create reports on your Site activities, and provide other services related to the Site and Services. If you wish to learn more about how Google uses the information collected through the Site and Services, click here.
In addition to the instructions in Section 5 of this Cookie Policy, the disclosure and processing of data collected by Google cookies used on the Site can be prevented by downloading and installing a browser “plug-in” via thislink.A browser with the “add-on” option informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that it is not allowed to transmit any data or information about Site visitors to Google Analytics. Additionally, any cookie left by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the settings within the internet browser or another software program. Click hereto learn more about Google Analytics, and information on how Google processes your data can be foundhere.
Google Tag Manager
We also use Google Tag Manager on our Site—a tool for managing Site tags centrally through an interface. Google Tag Manager exclusively uses tags (not cookies), so it does not collect any personal data.
For more information on data collection, please access the usage policy here.
5. Legal Basis for the Use of Cookies
When we collect your personal data based on consent, we obtain your consent through a banner on our Site. Therefore, the legal basis for the use of all cookies (except for necessary ones) is your consent.
Please also note our reasonable assumption that the device you are using is owned by you. If that is not the case (for example, if you are accessing the Site from your employer’s device or another person’s device), we expect that you have authorization from the device owner to consent to the storage of cookies on the device, as described in this Cookie Policy. By using the device and accepting cookies, you confirm that you have such authorization.
6. Third-Party Cookies
We may allow third-party service providers, such as analytics and advertising partners, to place cookies on your device through our website. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their privacy policies.
