A cookie is a small file saved by your browser when you visit a website. Other technologies, such as the browser's local storage, play a similar role. This page describes the ones encoton.com uses.

1. What we use

The site uses cookies and local storage that are strictly necessary for it to work and, only if you accept, audience-measurement cookies. There is no advertising and no social-media tracker.

Strictly necessary (no consent required)

  • Login cookies (authentication cookies, set by encoton.com) — created only when you log in to your customer account; they keep you signed in and secure access to trade prices. They are deleted when you log out or expire after thirty (30) days at most.
  • Quote list (browser local storage, key "encoton.quote") — keeps on your device the products you have added to your quote request, until you send the request or empty the list. This information is only sent to us when you submit your request.
  • Cookie choice (local storage, key "encoton.consent") — remembers whether you accepted or refused for six (6) months, so you are not asked again on every visit.

Audience measurement (with your consent)

  • Google Analytics ("_ga" and "_ga_…" cookies, set under the encoton.com domain, maximum lifetime thirteen (13) months) — counts visits and shows which pages are viewed, so that we can improve the site. The data is processed by Google Ireland Limited and may be transferred to the United States. Google's advertising features (Google signals, ad personalisation) are switched off.

2. Your consent

Under Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act and the CNIL's guidelines, strictly necessary trackers are exempt from consent. Audience-measurement cookies, however, are only set, and Google's script is only loaded, after you click "Accept" in the banner shown on your first visit. Refusing is as easy as accepting and has no effect on your browsing.

You can change your choice at any time using the "Manage cookies" link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, the audience-measurement cookies are deleted.

3. Managing or deleting cookies

You can delete cookies and local storage at any time from your browser settings, or set your browser to refuse them. If you block the login cookies you will no longer be able to log in to your account; the rest of the site remains available. Google also offers a Google Analytics opt-out add-on for your browser.

4. Links to other services

The site contains links to third-party services (for example WhatsApp or your email client). No tracker from these services is loaded on encoton.com; when you click these links you leave the site and those services' policies apply.
