1. Scope and Who We Are

This Cookie Policy applies to the GWMApp Sites and related online services operated by ECE Global. For details regarding how we collect, use, disclose, safeguard, and retain personal information generally, please refer to our Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms not defined in this Cookie Policy have the meaning given in the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service.

2. What Are Cookies & Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. Related technologies may include web beacons, pixels, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, session storage, and device identifiers. These technologies can support operation of the Sites, maintain secure sessions, remember preferences, measure performance, and support authorized analytics or other functionality.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential (Strictly Necessary): Required for core functionality such as login, session management, security, and load balancing. These cannot be disabled through our consent manager because the Sites may not function correctly without them.

Functional (Preferences): Support optional features and remember user choices, such as language, region, or interface settings. Disabling these may reduce functionality.

Analytics (Performance): Help us understand how visitors use the Sites and how the Sites perform, including page views, events, performance metrics, and error information. Where required, these are used only with consent.

Advertising (Targeting): May be used only if advertising functionality is actually deployed. If used, these technologies may support campaign measurement or interest-based advertising and will be subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements.

Social Media: May be used only if social-media integrations or sign-in/sharing functionality are actually deployed. Such providers may collect information according to their own privacy practices.

4. Cookies on GWMApp

The cookies and similar technologies actually used on GWMApp may vary by environment, configuration, feature, and third-party integration. The production cookie inventory and Consent Manager should be treated as the current source for deployed cookie categories and preferences.

Session / Authentication: Essential technologies that maintain login state, session continuity, and account security.

Load Balancing & Security: Essential technologies used to distribute traffic, prevent abuse, detect automated activity, and protect the Sites.

Preferences: Functional technologies that remember interface or user-selected settings.

Analytics: Performance technologies that measure traffic, feature interaction, reliability, and usage trends where deployed and permitted.

Advertising / Social: Optional technologies used only if such features are enabled and subject to applicable consent or opt-out requirements.

Vendor names, cookie identifiers, and retention periods may change when technologies or integrations are updated. ECE Global therefore maintains these details through its active Consent Manager or cookie inventory rather than treating illustrative examples as a fixed contractual list.

5. How to Manage Cookies

You can manage your preferences at any time through the Cookie Settings or Consent Manager available on our Sites, including through the applicable footer link. Browser controls may also allow you to block or delete cookies; however, essential cookies are required for the Sites to function and cannot be disabled through our consent manager.

Consent Manager: Adjust category-level consent for Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising/Social categories to the extent those categories are deployed on the applicable Site.

Browser Settings: Most browsers provide controls for blocking, restricting, or deleting cookies. Instructions are available from your browser provider, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Mobile Settings: Mobile operating-system settings may provide controls for advertising identifiers, tracking permissions, or app-level privacy preferences where applicable.

6. Global Privacy Controls & Do-Not-Sell/Share

Where required by applicable law, including applicable U.S. state privacy laws, ECE Global will recognize supported opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) for the browser or device sending the signal.

ECE Global does not sell personal information. If ECE Global engages in processing that constitutes "sharing" or targeted advertising under applicable law, users may exercise available opt-out rights through the Consent Manager, an applicable "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" control, or another method described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Data Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary according to purpose. Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiration date or until deleted by the user.

Cookie-derived analytics or technical information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the applicable operational, security, analytics, contractual, or legal purpose. ECE Global periodically reviews deployed cookie technologies and retention settings.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, providers, Site functionality, or legal requirements change. If we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date and provide additional notice where required by applicable law.
