This Cookie Policy explains how ScootLane ("ScootLane", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies, such as localStorage, when you visit scootlane.com (the "Site"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners. localStorage is a similar browser technology that allows a website to store small pieces of data directly in your browser, without an expiration date, until it is manually cleared.
ScootLane uses a combination of cookies and localStorage, described below, to operate our Site and, where you consent, to understand how visitors use our electric scooter reviews and buying guides.
When you first visit ScootLane, you will see a cookie consent banner asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your response ("accepted" or "declined") is stored as a value in your browser's localStorage. This allows us to remember your preference so you are not asked again on every visit.
This category includes the localStorage entry that records your cookie consent choice. It is essential for the Site to function as intended and to respect your privacy preferences. It does not track you across other websites and contains no personally identifiable information beyond your accept/decline decision.
If you click "Accept" on our consent banner, we load analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors use ScootLane — for example, which scooter reviews are most popular, how long visitors spend reading comparison guides, and which pages may need improvement. These cookies collect information such as:
This information is aggregated and anonymized where possible and is used solely to improve the content and performance of our Site. Analytics cookies are never set if you decline consent, and no analytics scripts are loaded until you accept.
Our analytics functionality is provided by third-party services (such as standard web analytics providers). When analytics cookies are active, these third parties may set their own cookies on your device in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. ScootLane does not control these third-party cookies directly, but we only permit them to load after you have given consent through our banner.
We do not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies on ScootLane. Our use of third-party technology is limited to analytics aimed at improving our editorial content and site experience.
You can withdraw your consent to analytics cookies at any time. Because your preference is stored in localStorage rather than a traditional cookie, the most reliable way to change or reset your choice is to clear your browser's site data for scootlane.com. You can generally do this by:
Alternatively, most browsers allow you to clear cookies and site data for all websites through a general "Clear browsing data" option, though this will also remove stored preferences for other sites you visit.
In addition to withdrawing consent through our banner, you can control or block cookies generally using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of ScootLane and other websites you visit, including preventing the consent banner from remembering your choice.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technology we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and similar technologies.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how ScootLane uses cookies and localStorage, please contact us through the contact details listed on our Site.
