COOKIE POLICY
Cookie Policy of www.ecksteen.com
This document informs users about the technologies employed by this application to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow access to or storage of information (e.g., by using cookies) on the user’s device, or the use of the device’s data processing capabilities when the user accesses or interacts with this application.
For simplicity, such technologies are referred to as „Trackers“ within this document, unless there is a need for distinction. While cookies may be used in both web and mobile browsers, they are not applicable in mobile apps as browser-based trackers. Therefore, the term „cookie“ is used in this document only when referring specifically to this type of tracker.
Some of the purposes for which Trackers are employed require the user’s consent. Once consent is provided, it may be withdrawn at any time by following the procedures outlined in this document.
This application uses both first-party Trackers (i.e., „First-Party Trackers“) and third-party Trackers in connection with services provided by third parties (i.e., „Third-Party Trackers“). Unless stated otherwise in this document, such third parties have access to the Trackers they manage.
The duration and expiration of cookies and other similar Trackers depend on the lifespan set by the provider or the respective third-party provider. Some expire once the user ends the browser session. For more detailed and up-to-date information regarding lifespan and other details (such as the use of additional Trackers), users are referred to the descriptions of the categories listed below, as well as the linked privacy policies of relevant third-party providers, or are encouraged to contact the provider.
