Cookie Policy
LAST UPDATED 16/05/2024
1. WHAT THIS POLICY COVERS
This Cookie Policy sets out:
  • what a cookie is (paragraph 2);
  • an overview of the categories of cookies we use (paragraph 3);
  • what you can do if you do not agree to the cookie use (paragraph 4);
  • concluding remarks (paragraph 5); and
  • a description of each category of cookie we use alongside a list of relevant cookies per category (Annex 1).
This Cookie Policy applies to HEINEKEN’s mobile application called ‘the Boring Mode’ which is for use by consumers in the European Union and the United Kingdom (the "App"). The HEINEKEN company in your country and Heineken International B.V. (“we”, “us” or “our”) are part of the HEINEKEN group.

2. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Similar tracking techniques, such as pixels, GIFs and web beacons, may also be used. Techniques, like cookies, are used in so-called ‘mobile software development kits’ or ‘mobile SDKs’ commonly used for the development of native mobile apps. A mobile SDK is a software package that contains a set of tools that can help to build platform-specific mobile applications and implement new features in existing mobile apps, such as our Platform. Mobile SDKs function like pixels and cookies but operate in the mobile app context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. For the sake of consistency, all these techniques are referred to in this Cookie Policy as “cookies”.

3. COOKIES USED IN THE APP
We use “strictly necessary cookies” to operate the App (these cookies are set by default). In relation to the App, all cookies (SDKs) are persistent and do not expire. Annex 1 provides a more detailed description of each cookie we use in the App.

4. CONCLUDING REMARKS
We will keep this Cookie Policy under review and may make updates to it from time to time. Any changes to this Cookie Policy will be posted on our App, and to the extent reasonably possible, will be communicated to you. You can consult this web page for the latest version. If you have any further questions and/or comments, please contact boringmode@niteco.se.

The most recent version of this Cookie Policy is dated May 2024.
