TM Tacho Manager Cookie policy

Cookie Policy

This page reflects the current privacy and consent logic implemented in the Tacho Manager web app, including optional analytics consent and user preference storage.

Translations of this page are provided for convenience — the English version is the binding one.

1. What this policy covers

Tacho Manager uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies to support sign-in, user preferences, privacy consent and optional analytics functionality.

2. Strictly necessary cookies and storage

  • Session cookies: used to keep users signed in, preserve account context and support secure flows such as login, Google sign-in state and account management.
  • Language preference: the tm-lang cookie stores the language chosen on the website or in the app so pages load in that language.
  • Theme preference storage: the site and app store the light/dark preference in local storage (keys driver_theme and tm-theme) so the selected theme can be reused.
  • Mobile app markers: the mobile shell may set a tacho_app_platform cookie to recognize app-specific flows, and stores a push-registration identifier (tm-push-instance) in local storage when notifications are enabled.
  • Convenience storage: small local-storage entries remember interface choices such as the last selected truck for fuel uploads.

3. Consent cookie

If privacy features and cookie consent are enabled in the live app, Tacho Manager stores the visitor’s analytics choice in a cookie named driver_cookie_consent. Its value indicates whether optional analytics were accepted or declined.

4. Optional analytics cookies

The web app supports optional Google Analytics integration. According to the current code, analytics should only load when:

  • privacy features are enabled,
  • analytics are configured, and
  • the user has granted consent when consent is required.

If the user declines, analytics should not be loaded.

5. Why these technologies are used

  • to authenticate users and preserve secure sessions,
  • to remember interface preferences such as theme selection,
  • to support privacy consent and respect analytics choices,
  • to support mobile app handoff and app-aware browsing behavior,
  • and, where consent exists, to measure general website usage.

6. How users can manage cookies

Visitors can control cookies through their browser settings and, where shown, through the site’s privacy consent banner. Blocking necessary cookies may affect sign-in, session continuity or some parts of the service.

7. Privacy settings in the live app

The main application has dedicated privacy settings for:

  • enabling privacy features,
  • requiring cookie consent before optional analytics,
  • setting the privacy policy URL,
  • setting the cookie policy URL,
  • and defining the privacy contact email.

Use these page URLs in that configuration:

  • /web/privacy-policy.html
  • /web/cookie-policy.html
