Cookie Notice

Introduction
We are obliged to tell you about Cookies and what information these may gather and how it is used.

What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded or dropped onto your computer or device automatically. This is stored on the hard drive. Each App you use will drop cookies if your browser allows it. There are generally three types of Cookies, 

 

• Session / Functional/ Essential / Strictly Necessary (the ones that are needed for the platform to function properly)

• Permanent / Persistent (the ones that remain for 6 months max and remember details like logins and passwords)

• Third-party / Analytical / Non-Essential (those used by other websites and advertisers; or for analytics or browsing habits)

Our use of Cookies
Our platform uses Functional and Third-Party cookies.

 

The Functional cookies are those that necessary for Epona to work. 

 

For the Third-party cookies, you should read the section below on how to decline these. If declined the Third-Party cookies will not be placed on your device.

 

The Third-Party cookies we use are for analytical data about use of our platform. We currently need your consent for these. We use Google Analytics which will place cookies on your device. We recommend you review Google’s information on cookies and privacy notices on their website.

The data that the Cookies collect.
During the use of the Epona, the services and information you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to the device.

Depending on the type of cookie, limited personal data about you or your device or your use of Epona will be collected. This may include:

 

• Data that identifies you or your device.
  Your IP address (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network devices on the internet), login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types, geolocation information about where you might be, operating system and version.

• Data on how you use Epona.
  The services used or viewed, our app response times, download errors, and other actions.

 

We use Analytics software to look at IP addresses and cookies for the purpose of enhancing your user experience. This information is not used to develop a personal profile of you and the log files are regularly purged.

How do I stop cookies?
All computers and devices (including the internet browser you use) have the ability to decline cookies. This can be done by activating the setting on your browser which enables you to decline cookies – you can search for information on how to do this by checking the ‘Help’ menu of your browser.

Unfortunately, choosing to decline cookies can impact on the use of our App and you may not be able to take full advantage of our App features.
 

Future Cookies.
As many companies and organisations do, we are constantly developing our platform and services, to provide the best experience and most up-to-date services that we can for you.  Developments can include the use of tracking cookies that will help us analyse how people have found our platform amongst other tracking services. We recommend that you review this cookie policy from time to time as we will update the list of cookies if any new ones are implemented.
