Eckos Online Cookie Policy
Eckos Online uses Cookies and similar technologies to recognize user preferences and to optimize website appearance. This makes websites easier to navigate and maximizes user friendliness.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which save Internet settings. Almost all websites make use of cookies. They are downloaded by your web browser during your first visit to a website. The next time that you visit the website with the same device, the cookie (and the information that it holds) will either be transmitted back to the website that created it (so-called first party cookies) or to a third-party website if the cookie is from that website (so-called third party cookies). This allows the website to know that it has already been accessed by the browser in question; in some circumstances, the website may vary the content that is displayed.
Some cookies are absolutely necessary in order to provide certain services, such as the creation and use of private accounts. Others are very useful as they can improve a user’s experience when returning to a website which the user has visited in the past. As long as you use the same browser and device as in the past, cookies will remember things such as your preferences regarding your use of the site and will display more relevant content based on your personal interests and needs.
By making use of our Eckos Online website, you consent to the use and storage of cookies on your device. You can also visit our website without cookies, however you may not be able to make use of all functions. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your device at all by changing your browser settings to “never accept cookies”. You can delete cookies from your device at any time. For detailed instructions please refer to your browser or device user manual.

Categories
Cookies can be divided into four categories depending on their function and their purpose: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functionality cookies and third party cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for websites and their functions to work properly. Without these cookies, services such as the use of an account cannot be provided.

Functionality cookies
These cookies provide greater website convenience and performance and allow various functions to be provided. For example, language settings can be stored in functionality cookies.

Performance cookies
Performance cookies collect information about how a website is used, e.g. what sites a user accesses most frequently and whether any error messages are received from a site. These cookies do not store information which allows a user to be identified. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. These cookies are only used to improve a website’s performance and user experience.

Third party cookies
These cookies are placed by third parties, for example social networks. They are primarily used to integrate social media content such as social plugins into our site.
