This Cookie Policy explains how Challenge ApS (Heka VR) uses cookies and similar technologies on hekavr.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
We comply with the Danish Executive Order on Cookies (Cookiebekendtgørelsen, BEK nr. 1148 af 9. december 2011), implementing the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended), and with the consent requirements of the GDPR (Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7). Storage of, or access to, information on your device for non-essential purposes only takes place after you have given prior, freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or session state. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixel tags; in this policy we refer to all of these as "cookies".
2. Categories of cookies we use
2.1 Strictly necessary (no consent required)
Required for the website to function: routing, load balancing, basic security (e.g. CSRF protection), and remembering your cookie choices. These are exempt from the consent requirement under §3(2) of the Danish Cookie Order.
2.2 Functional (consent required)
Used to remember choices you make (such as language or region) and to enable embedded content (for example YouTube and Spotify players on our Evidence and Media pages). Set only with your consent.
2.3 Analytics (consent required)
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Where used, we configure analytics with IP anonymisation and short retention, and we do not use them to build advertising profiles.
2.4 Marketing and advertising
We do not currently use marketing, advertising, or cross-site tracking cookies. If we introduce them in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent in advance.
3. Third-party content and transfers
Some pages embed content from third parties (e.g. YouTube/Google, Spotify). When you consent to load such content, the third party may set its own cookies and may receive personal data (including your IP address). Some of these providers are established outside the EU/EEA, which may involve international transfers under Chapter V GDPR; we rely on the providers' Standard Contractual Clauses and/or applicable adequacy decisions. Please review those providers' own privacy and cookie policies.
4. Managing and withdrawing your consent
- You can withdraw or change your consent at any time, with effect for the future, by clicking "Cookie settings" in the site footer to reopen the consent banner and update your choices.
- You can also clear site data for hekavr.com in your browser to be re-prompted on your next visit.
- Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the site from working correctly.
- For embedded media, you can also use your browser's settings to block third-party cookies entirely.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
5. Supervisory authority
In Denmark, supervision of the cookie rules is shared between the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen) for the requirement to inform and obtain consent, and the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) for the processing of personal data set in cookies. You can lodge a complaint with either authority.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
