Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit websites. They store information about your interaction with a site so the experience can be improved. Cookies may hold preference data and information that helps us understand how you use our site.

Cookies may be temporary (session cookies) or persistent. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Using cookies helps us provide a more personalized and effective service.

We use cookies for several purposes, including improving site functionality, analyzing use, and delivering targeted advertising. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.

On our site we use several types of cookies, which can be grouped by function and purpose. These types include:

  • Necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as requesting services, setting privacy preferences, or filling in forms.
  • Analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They help us improve performance and provide better content.
  • Marketing cookies: These cookies are used to show advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They also help us measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
  • Third-party cookies: These cookies are set by domains other than our site. They may be used for purposes such as analytics and advertising.

Necessary cookies support the basic functions of our site. Without them, some parts of the site may not work properly. For example, they may store sign-in information or help keep data transfers secure.

We cannot disable these cookies because they are required for the site to operate. You can set your browser to block or warn you about them, but some parts of the site may become unavailable or work incorrectly.

Examples of necessary cookies we use include files that help us remember your settings and preferences, and files that help keep your interaction with the site secure.

Analytics cookies help us collect information about how users interact with our site. They allow us to track visits, traffic sources, and on-site behavior. With that information we can improve functionality and content.

We use analytics cookies to review visit data and understand which pages are most popular. That helps us refine content and improve the user experience.

Data collected through analytics cookies is anonymous and does not identify a specific user. You can opt out of analytics cookies by changing your browser settings or using tools designed to refuse tracking.

Marketing cookies are used to show advertising that better matches your interests. These cookies may track your activity on our site and on other websites to build a preference profile and display relevant ads.

We may use marketing cookies to measure campaign performance and refine marketing strategies. These cookies may be set by us or by third parties that provide advertising and analytics services.

You can manage marketing cookie settings in your browser or through tools provided by third parties. Opting out of marketing cookies may mean you see less relevant advertising.

Our site may use third-party cookies set by domains other than ours. These cookies may be used for purposes such as analytics, advertising, and related services. We do not control those cookies and recommend that you review the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties.

Third-party cookies may collect information about your behavior on our site and on other websites so they can provide more personalized content and advertising. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those third parties.

cryofract provides knowledge about rental bicycles during travel and offers consultations on that part of a trip. The materials on this site are meant to help you understand how desks, lanes, locks, and returns usually work. They describe patterns we have seen; they are not a substitute for the rules posted at the rental desk you will actually use.

Road conditions, opening hours, docking maps, and what staff will accept as a return change between trips and sometimes between mornings. Confirm those details again with the operator on the day, even if you have ridden a similar bicycle elsewhere.

Questions about fitness, load, weather exposure, or safety on the road belong with qualified specialists, not with a travel briefing site. We do not treat cycling as a health plan and we do not assess whether a ride is suitable for your body.

Any decision you make — to rent, to ride a given street, to lock in a given place, to return late or early — is yours. cryofract is not responsible for fines, damage charges, missed returns, collisions, or other outcomes that follow from those decisions.
