Cookie Policy
www.epc.bg uses cookies.
A cookie is a small computer file that is stored on your device and through which certain information is passed on to the entity that installed it. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer. They merely serve to make the website more user friendly and effective. We use both session cookies, which are deleted at the end of your browser session, and persistent cookies, which are stored for a certain period of generally just a few hours or days, but which can also extend up to two years in exceptional cases.
Through these cookies, information about your browser type and version, the URL clickstream (the order in which you visit pages of our website), the date and time of your visit to our portal and a cookie number are passed on to us, but not your name, address, e-mail or IP address.
The cookies that www.epc.bg installs itself serve primarily statistical purposes, enabling us to learn which contents of our website are used most often. This information helps us make our website better for our users. The statistical insights gained about browser types and operating systems also help us optimise our web design, and we want to offer the users of www.epc.bg content and services that are as relevant for them as possible. That is why we and our partners automatically analyse the information to be found in the log files and cookies.
Secondly, it enables us to offer you certain convenience functions such as displaying the pages you visited last when you return to our site.
If you do not wish cookies to be installed on your device, you can prevent the acceptance and storage of new cookies in your browser settings. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can set them to reject cookies. Your browser's Help function contains instructions on how to change your browser settings. Such changes only apply to the device on which you have made the changes. If you use another device or another browser, you have to change the settings again.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ('Google'). Google Analytics uses cookies as described above. The information about your usage of this website that the cookie generates is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. We have activated IP anonymisation on this website, with the result that Google abbreviates your IP address within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the agreement on the European Economic Area before it is sent to the USA. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA first in exceptional cases, before it is shortened there.
At the request of www.epc.bg, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, in order to compile reports on the website activities and to provide us with further services in connection with the use of the website and the internet.
The IP address that your browser transmits within the scope of Google Analytics is not brought together with other Google data. You can prevent the cookies being stored on your device by setting your browser software accordingly, but we point out that this may mean that you are then no longer able to use all the functions of the website to their fullest extent. You can also prevent the data pertaining to your use of the website being collected by the cookie (including your IP address) and sent to and processed by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 subs. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our justified interest lies in the above-mentioned purpose. The data we send and that are linked to cookies, user names (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are deleted automatically after 26 months. You can obtain more information about the terms and conditions of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.
