COOKIES

This Cookie Policy explains how ELT, LLC (“ELT”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the https://earthlovingtraktaties.nl website and any other website that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the “Sites”).

Cookies description.

When you visit a website, little data files called cookies are downloaded to your computer or mobile device. Cookies can help us understand how a site is being used, make it easier for you to move between pages, remember your preferences, and generally enhance your browsing experience.

Both session cookies and persistent cookies, which remain on your computer or mobile device until you delete them, may be used on our sites. Session cookies expire when your web browser is closed.

Our use of cookies falls into two general categories: (1) first party cookies, which we serve to your computer or mobile device directly; and (2) third party cookies, which are served to your computer or mobile device by service providers or business partners on our sites and may be used by those parties to identify your computer or mobile device when it accesses other websites. Various uses for third-party cookies include site analytics, advertising, and social media features.

What varieties of cookies and other tracking tools does ELT employ on the websites?

In the categories listed in the table below, we use cookies and other tracking technologies on the Sites.

Type	Description	Who serves the cookies	How to control them

These businesses use this information to display advertisements on our Service and elsewhere that they think will be pertinent to you and to monitor the effectiveness of those advertisements.	GoogleTikTok	See ‘your choices’ below.
Analytics	These cookies aid in our comprehension of the operation and usage of our service. These cookies may function in conjunction with web beacons that are present in emails we send to recipients to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked.		See ‘your choices’ below. The use of Google Analytics’ own cookies. More details about Google Analytics cookies and data protection policies can be found here and here, respectively.

Different technologies

Our websites and emails may also use other technologies, such as pixel tags or Flash technology, to automatically gather information in addition to cookies.

Web browser storage

For similar purposes to cookies, we might use browser web storage (including through HTML5), commonly referred to as locally stored objects (or “LSOs”). Compared to cookies, browser web storage allows for the storage of more data. You might be able to clear the web storage in your web browser.

Online Beacons

In order to track user behaviour on our sites and interactions with our emails, we may also utilise web beacons, often referred to as pixel tags and clear GIFs, on our websites and in HTML-formatted emails. In contrast to cookies, which a website places on your computer or mobile device’s hard drive, pixel tags are subtly inserted into web pages or HTML-formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to show that a website has been visited or that a piece of content has been viewed, typically to gauge the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns or the response to our emails (for example, they may show us whether you have opened an email and/or forwarded it to another person) and to compile data on how people use specific websites in order to manage our content more effectively.

It is up to you

Putting a block on cookies in your browser.  You may typically delete or reject cookies, including those used for interest-based advertising, using your browser.  Follow the directions in your browser’s settings to accomplish this.  The default setting for many browsers is to allow cookies until you change it.  Visit www.allaboutcookies.org for additional information on cookies, including how to manage and delete them as well as how to view what cookies have been placed on your device.  You might encounter certain difficulties using our sites if you refuse to accept our cookies. You might have to sign in each time you visit one of our sites because, for instance, we might not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device.

Preventing the usage of advertising ID in your mobile settings.  You may be able to restrict how your mobile device’s advertising ID is used for interest-based advertising by changing the settings on your device.

utilising browsers or privacy plug-ins.  By using browsers or browser plugins with privacy protections, you can prevent our site from placing cookies used for interest-based advertising.

• Google
• Tiktok

Opt-out resources for the advertising sector.

By visiting here, choosing their country, and then clicking “Choices” (or a related link), European users can choose not to receive targeted advertisements on websites run by members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance. Please be aware that we might collaborate with businesses that have their own opt-out options and might not use the ones we linked to above.

You will still see online adverts if you opt out of targeted advertising, but they might not be pertinent to you. You might still receive certain cookies and customised advertisements from businesses that are not mentioned even if you decide to opt out as not all companies that serve online behavioural advertising are listed.

SECURITY METHODS.

We place a high priority on the security of your personal information. We use a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect the personal data we collect. We cannot, however, guarantee the security of your personal information because security risk is a component of all internet and information technologies.

TRANSFERS OF DATA ACROSS NATIONS.

Your personal information may be transferred to the Netherlands or other locations outside of your state, province, or country since we have our headquarters there and have service providers there. These locations may not have privacy laws that are as protective as those in your state, province, or country.

For these purposes, we define “children” as anybody under the age in their country of residence at which their parent or legal guardian must give consent to the processing of their personal information, which is either 16 or younger.

If we discover that we have obtained a child’s personal information without getting their parent’s or guardian’s permission, as required by law, we will destroy it. Parents who have concerns are encouraged to contact us via https://earthlovingtraktaties.nl/contact/

MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

At any moment, we retain the right to change this privacy statement.
