COOKIE POLICY

ENCYCLE believes it is important to be clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies. This Cookie Policy applies to any ENCYCLE products or services that link to or incorporate this policy by reference. In addition, this Cookie Policy is incorporated into and governed by the ENCYCLE Privacy Policy as if set forth therein.

What are cookies?

  • Cookies are unique identifiers that are transferred to your device to enable our systems to recognize your device and improve your online experience. Cookies are small text files that contain a unique identification number transferred from a website to your computer’s hard drive and are commonly used to provide a customized experience. This unique number identifies your web browser but does not identify you personally. Cookies do not provide personally identifiable information such as your name or address. The use of cookies is now an industry standard, and most major websites currently use them.

    Most browsers include a help feature that explains how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies entirely. In addition, similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, can be disabled or deleted by changing the add-on settings or visiting the website of the add-on provider. Since cookies allow you to take advantage of some essential features of www.encycle.net, we recommend leaving them enabled.

    For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, please visit www.wikipedia.org, www.allaboutcookies.org, or www.aboutcookies.org.

Does ENCYCLE Use Cookies?

Yes. We use cookies and similar technologies to provide the best possible experience for everyone who uses ENCYCLE. Cookies also help keep your account secure. By continuing to access or use our services, you agree to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described in this policy.

When Does ENCYCLE Place Cookies?

We use cookies on our website and mobile applications. Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from us.

What Types of Cookies Does ENCYCLE Use?

We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as an existing user, making it easier for you to return to ENCYCLE or interact with our services without signing in again. Once you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by ENCYCLE when you return to our site or partner sites (such as those with sharing or application buttons).

Session cookies last only for the duration of a session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

What Are Cookies Used For?

Cookies allow us to recognize you when you visit ENCYCLE, remember your preferences, and provide you with a personalized experience based on your settings. They also make your interactions with ENCYCLE faster and more secure.

What Is Do Not Track (DNT)?

DNT is a concept promoted by regulatory authorities such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), aimed at enabling internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites through browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has worked with industry groups, browser providers, technology companies, and regulators to develop DNT standards. Although there has been some progress, it has been slow, and no standard has been widely adopted to date.

Can Cookies Be Controlled?

Generally, yes. Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

If you wish, you can set your browser to notify you when you receive cookies or to refuse cookies entirely. ENCYCLE uses cookies, but we never store personal information in cookies created or provided by ENCYCLE. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline them. Accepting cookies is a personal choice, and you can still use the ENCYCLE website even if you choose not to accept them.

However, restricting cookies may prevent certain features of the website from functioning properly and may result in a less personalized user experience. It may also prevent the saving of customized settings such as login information.

What If I Do Not Want Cookies or Want to Delete Them?

If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can change the browser settings on your computer or other device used to access our services. If you continue to use ENCYCLE without changing your browser settings or if you click the “Accept” button on our cookie notice, you will be deemed to have consented to the use of all cookies on the ENCYCLE website.

Most browsers also provide functionality to review and delete cookies, including ENCYCLE cookies. Please note that the ENCYCLE website may not function properly without cookies.
