Introduction
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how Energyoung ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, and how you can control and manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides comprehensive information about how we handle your personal data.
By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you have adjusted your browser settings to refuse cookies or have declined cookies through our cookie consent mechanism.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply reporting information. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Energyoung) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, interactive content, and advertising.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided. Essential cookies do not require your consent under GDPR. Examples of essential cookies we use include:
- Cookie consent preference cookies that remember your cookie choices
- Session management cookies that maintain your browsing session
- Security cookies that help prevent fraudulent use of accounts and protect user data
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance. Performance cookies may track:
- Pages visited and the order in which they were accessed
- Time spent on each page and overall session duration
- Error messages encountered during browsing
- The effectiveness of our website design and content layout
- Loading times and technical performance metrics
Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization based on your interaction with the website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Functionality cookies may be used to:
- Remember your preferences such as language settings and regional preferences
- Remember choices you have made on previous visits
- Provide personalized features and content based on your browsing behavior
- Enable interactive features and tools on the website
How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for managing and controlling cookies. Please note that removing or blocking cookies may impact your user experience and some functionality may no longer be available.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in the most popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Privacy, Search, and Services > Cookies
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Opera: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
Our Cookie Consent Tool
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our website, which will trigger the consent banner to appear again.
Third-Party Cookies
Our website may use third-party services that set their own cookies. We do not have direct control over these cookies. Third-party services we may use include web analytics services that help us understand how visitors use our website, and mapping services that display interactive maps on our contact page. Each third-party service has its own cookie policy, and we encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.
Cookie Duration
The length of time a cookie will remain on your device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies will only remain on your device until you stop browsing the website or close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. The expiration date for persistent cookies is set when they are created and may vary from cookie to cookie. We review the cookies on our website periodically to ensure that no cookies persist for longer than necessary.
Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage technology (such as HTML5 localStorage) to store preferences on your device. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and does not expire automatically. We use local storage to remember your cookie consent preference so that you are not repeatedly asked for consent each time you visit our website. You can clear local storage data through your browser settings, typically in the same location where you manage cookies.
Updates to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our business operations, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to periodically review this Cookies Policy to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
