Cookie Statement
We have built pretrain.com to set as few cookies as possible. By default, the site sets no tracking, advertising or analytics cookies, and connects to no third party, until you actively choose to.
What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies such as local storage let a site keep small amounts of data on your device. They can be strictly necessary (needed for the site to function), functional (remember choices), or used for analytics and tracking.
What we set by default
On entry, pretrain.com sets essentially no non-essential cookies. We load no analytics, advertising or social-tracking scripts when the page opens. Our fonts are self-hosted, so opening the site sets no Google cookies and sends no data to Google. Any strictly-necessary cookies are limited to what is required for the page to load and stay secure.
Cookies that load only after your consent
Calendly scheduler
The embedded scheduler on our contact section is provided by Calendly (United States). It loads only after you accept it in our cookie banner. Once you accept, Calendly sets its cookies (including those of its analytics partners) so the scheduler can run, and your choice is remembered so the scheduler appears on your next visit without asking again. If you decline, or until you choose, no Calendly cookies are set and no data goes to Calendly. Calendly is certified under the EU‑U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can also use a plain "Book a call" link, which takes you directly to calendly.com.
Demo map (atlas.pretrain.com)
Our homepage shows a live company-map demo in an iframe from atlas.pretrain.com — our own subdomain. It loads when you scroll to it and is functional only; it does not track you across other sites.
Hosting (Vercel)
Our hosting provider Vercel may collect cookieless visitor analytics. This does not use tracking cookies and does not follow you across sites.
Our cookie banner
On your first visit we show a short banner asking whether to load the Calendly scheduler. We set no tracking or advertising cookies on entry, and the only non-essential third party (Calendly) loads exclusively after you accept. Declining is as easy as accepting, and refusing does not block any other part of the site — in line with the guidance of the Dutch supervisory authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
How to control cookies and withdraw consent
- You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Browser help pages explain how.
- To withdraw consent for the scheduler after accepting, clear this site's cookies and site data in your browser (this also clears the stored "accepted" choice, so the banner will ask again), or decline when prompted.
Blocking cookies may stop the scheduler from working, but the rest of the site will function normally.
