1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2. How We Use Cookies

Echelon uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and session storage) to: keep you signed in between sessions; remember your preferences; understand how you use the Service; and improve performance and reliability. We may also use cookies to support future advertising or monetisation features (see Cookie Categories below).

3. Cookie Categories

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential for the Service to function and cannot be disabled. They include authentication tokens (to keep you logged in) and security cookies (to protect against CSRF attacks). No consent is required for these cookies as they are necessary to provide the Service you have requested.

Analytics & Performance

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service by collecting and reporting information anonymously. Analytics data helps us identify popular features, diagnose performance issues, and improve the overall experience. These cookies are only set with your consent. Examples include: page view counts, session duration, and error frequency.

Advertising & Targeting

These cookies may be set by us or our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising. They are only set with your explicit consent. At present, Echelon does not serve third-party advertisements. This category is included in preparation for future monetisation features and will be activated only after a cookie consent mechanism is implemented.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Service from functioning correctly. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Service but will limit our ability to improve it.

5. Further Information
