GDPR and Cookie Notice

1. Introduction

This notice explains how the public Electronic COC website may use cookies, web storage and similar technologies. It is intended to provide clear information about consent, cookie categories and visitor choices without replacing privacy or customer data-processing documents.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, tags or pixels. They can help a website remember basic choices, keep a session working, support security or measure how public pages are used.

3. Why Cookies May Be Used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for essential website functionality, security, session continuity, language preferences, operational analytics and service improvement. Non-essential technologies should only be used where an appropriate legal basis exists and consent is obtained where required.

• Essential functionality and website security
• Session continuity and language preferences
• Operational analytics and service improvement where enabled and permitted

4. Cookie Categories

The public website may use separate categories so visitors can understand what each technology is for. Actual categories depend on the technologies enabled on the website at the relevant time.

• Strictly necessary: required for website operation, security, routing, consent storage, form protection or requested language continuity
• Functional: used for preference continuity, such as language or interface choices, where enabled
• Analytics: used for aggregated page diagnostics or operational analytics only where enabled and permitted
• Performance: used to understand technical page performance only where enabled and permitted
• Third-party services: used only where a relevant third-party tool is actually enabled

5. Consent Principles

Where consent is required, it should be freely given, specific, informed and capable of being withdrawn. Non-essential technologies should not rely on forced acceptance, and visitors should be able to change consent preferences where preference controls are available.

• Non-essential technologies require consent where applicable
• Consent can be withdrawn
• Consent preferences can be changed

6. Consent Management

The website may use a consent banner or preference controls to let visitors accept, reject or manage non-essential technologies. Visitors may later withdraw or adjust consent through available cookie settings, browser controls or other preference-management options provided on the website.

7. Third-Party Services

The website may rely on hosting providers, infrastructure providers, analytics tools or other third-party services where actually enabled. Third-party services may process information according to their own terms and privacy notices. Electronic COC does not use this notice to invent or authorize third-party tools that are not in use.

8. Data Protection Relationship

Cookies can relate to privacy and data protection, but this page is not a full Privacy Policy and does not define customer platform processing. Website privacy information is addressed in the Privacy Policy, while customer operational data handling is addressed in the Data Processing Commitment and applicable agreements.

9. User Choices

Visitors may be offered choices to accept, reject or manage non-essential technologies. Visitors are not required to accept non-essential cookies in order to access the public website, although some optional features or preferences may not work in the same way if they are disabled.

10. Updates

This notice may be updated when website technologies, consent tools, third-party services, legal requirements or operational practices change. The current version should be reviewed together with the Privacy Policy and Data Processing Commitment where relevant.
