Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred settings or whether you have accepted a consent notice — so that the site can work more effectively during your current session and on future visits. Cookies cannot execute programmes or deliver viruses to your computer, and they cannot access information stored elsewhere on your device.

2. How We Use Cookies

The Eternal Glide website uses cookies for two primary purposes: to ensure the website functions correctly (essential cookies), and to understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it over time (analytical cookies). We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking across other websites, or building behavioural profiles.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as recording your cookie consent preference so you are not asked again on every page. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

• eternalglide_cookie_consent — Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted or declined) for 365 days. This cookie is set when you interact with the cookie consent banner.

Analytical Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know 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.

• Session analytics cookies that record which pages were visited and how long was spent on each page. These expire at the end of your browser session.
• Persistent analytics cookies that help us understand returning versus first-time visitors. These expire after 24 months.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We do not currently embed third-party services such as social media plugins, advertising networks or video players that would set their own cookies. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy accordingly and request fresh consent where required.

5. How to Control Cookies

You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time by clicking "Decline" on the cookie banner that appears at the bottom of each page. Note that if you have already accepted, you will need to clear your browser cookies and revisit the site to see the banner again.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete cookies already stored on your device, or be notified before a cookie is set. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this website.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date at the top. Please check back periodically.

8. Cookie Retention and Deletion

Essential cookies (such as the cookie consent preference) are retained for 365 days from the date you set your preference. If you do not interact with our website for more than twelve months, your preference expires and you will be asked to make a choice again on your next visit. Analytical cookies expire after twenty-four (24) months. You may delete all stored cookies at any time by using your browser's cookie management tools, but note that this may affect your experience when using the website in future sessions.

9. Cookie Security

All cookies sent by our server are transmitted over HTTPS with the "Secure" flag set, ensuring they cannot be intercepted or modified during transit. Cookies are set with the "SameSite=Lax" attribute to prevent them from being sent to our site in cross-site requests — this mitigates the risk of cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. We do not store sensitive information (such as passwords or payment details) in cookies.

10. Your Cookie Rights in Different Jurisdictions

If you are visiting Eternal Glide from the European Union or European Economic Area, cookies are subject to the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time for non-essential cookies by clicking the "Decline" button. If you are in the United States, cookies are subject to applicable privacy laws but generally do not require pre-consent provided you receive notice (which you are receiving now). If you are in Japan, cookies are regulated under the Act on Protection of Personal Information (APPI). In all cases, you retain control over your cookie preferences through your browser and our website banner.

11. International and Regional Compliance

Our use of cookies complies with privacy regulations in multiple jurisdictions. Our cookie policy is designed to be compatible with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the Australian Privacy Act. If you have privacy rights specific to your jurisdiction and are unsure whether our cookie practices comply, please contact us at info@eternalglide.com and we will provide clarification.

12. Updates and Policy Changes

We review this Cookie Policy periodically to ensure it remains accurate and reflects the latest technologies and best practices in online privacy. If we introduce new cookies or change how we use existing cookies, we will update this page and post a notice on our homepage for at least thirty (30) days. If the changes are material (for example, if they significantly expand the scope of data collection), we will request fresh consent where required by law. Any updates take effect on the date posted unless we specify otherwise.
