Ecovium

PreferencesOfficial website

ecovium is a European provider of logistics and shipping software used by online stores to manage orders, parcels, and delivery. On a website it mainly sets functional cookies needed to process a purchase, so its core operation relies on contract rather than consent.

Overview

What does Ecovium do?

What ecovium is

ecovium is a European software group that provides logistics, shipping, and order management solutions for online retailers and businesses. When integrated into a checkout or shipping flow, it helps calculate delivery options, generate labels, and track parcels, processing the order and address data needed to fulfil a purchase.

What data and cookies ecovium collects

In a typical integration ecovium sets functional cookies that keep the session and the selected delivery options stable while a customer completes an order. It processes the personal data required for shipping, such as name, delivery address, and order reference, rather than browsing behaviour for advertising.

GDPR and ePrivacy implications

Cookies that are strictly necessary to deliver a service the user has requested are exempt from the consent requirement under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, which covers the session cookies ecovium needs to process an order. The order and address data are personal data under the GDPR and must be handled under a clear lawful basis and a processing agreement.

When consent is required

The functional cookies that run the checkout and shipping steps do not need consent, but if you combine ecovium with analytics, marketing, or delivery tracking that profiles customers, those additional purposes require prior consent. Keep the strictly necessary functions separate from any optional tracking in your banner.

Practical compliance steps

Sign a data processing agreement with the provider, confirm that shipping data stays within the EU, and document contract as the lawful basis for fulfilment. List the functional cookies in your cookie policy as strictly necessary, set a retention period aligned with your order records, and review the setup if you enable any analytics features.

Impact assessment (DPIA)

ecovium processes order and delivery data rather than large scale behavioural profiles, so a DPIA is generally not required for the core shipping function. Assess the need separately if you enable tracking features or process special category data.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Ecovium

Can't find your question? Write to us, we answer fast.

What cookies does ecovium set?

In a standard integration ecovium sets functional cookies that keep your session and selected delivery options stable while you complete an order. These are strictly necessary cookies rather than advertising trackers.

Do I need consent for ecovium?

The functional cookies needed to process an order are exempt from consent under Article 5(3) ePrivacy. You only need consent if you add analytics, marketing, or customer profiling on top of the shipping function.

What is the legal basis for ecovium?

Processing order and delivery data relies on performance of a contract under Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, with legitimate interest covering security. Document this basis in your records of processing.

Does ecovium transfer data outside the EU?

ecovium is a European provider and shipping data is processed within the EU in a standard setup. Confirm the data location in your agreement and document any transfer if you use a non EU module.

Is a DPIA needed for ecovium?

A DPIA is generally not required for the core shipping function because it processes order data rather than large scale profiles. Reassess if you enable tracking features or handle special category data.

How do I implement ecovium compliantly?

Sign a data processing agreement, treat its functional cookies as strictly necessary, keep optional analytics separate behind consent, and set a retention period aligned with your order records.

Are there alternatives to ecovium?

Other European logistics and shipping platforms offer comparable order and delivery management. The consent position is similar because shipping cookies are usually strictly necessary.

How do I update my cookie policy for ecovium?

List the ecovium functional cookies as strictly necessary with their purpose and duration, and explain that they support order processing and delivery. Update the entry if you enable additional tracking.
