Cookie Policy

 

We use cookies to help improve your experience of https://ethiack.com. This cookie policy is part of Ethiack’s privacy policy, and covers the use of cookies between your device and our website. We also provide basic information on third-party services we may use, who may also use cookies as part of their service, though they are not covered by our policy. If you don’t wish to accept cookies from us, you should instruct your browser to refuse cookies from https://ethiack.com with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired content and services.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device when you visit the website or certain pages. The cookie allows the website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time. Placing cookies will help the website recognize your device for the next time you visit it. We use the term cookies in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way and the term website to refer to the Ethiack website.

Most browsers support cookies, but users can set their browsers to decline them and can delete them whenever they like. Cookies can contain the name of the website where the cookie has come from, how long the cookie will remain on your device, and a value which is usually a randomly generated unique number.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only track your activity on that particular website. Cookies set by external websites and companies are called “third-party cookies”, and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.

Some cookies will be deleted as soon as you leave the website (the so-called “session cookies”), other cookies will remain stored on your computer or mobile device and will help us identify you as a visitor of our website (the so-called “permanent cookies”).

Refusing to use cookies on the website may result in the inability to access some of your areas or to receive personalized information.

Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging in), to track website usage (eg. analytics), to store your user settings (eg. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (eg. advertising, language).

  • Performance cookies
Performance cookies are used in the tracking of how you use a website during your visit, without collecting personal information about you. Typically, this information is anonymous and aggregated with information tracked across all website users, to help companies understand visitor usage patterns, identify and diagnose problems or errors their users may encounter, and make better strategic decisions in improving their audience’s overall website experience.

  • Targeting/advertisement cookies
Targeting/advertising cookies are used in determining what promotional content is more relevant and appropriate to you and your interests. Websites may use them to deliver targeted advertising or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of content presented to you. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. Targeting/advertising cookies set by third-parties may be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. We use targeting/advertising cookies on our website.
