What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that websites store on your computer. There are two types of cookies: One type stores a file for an extended period of time on your computer (permanent cookies). It is used, for example, to tell you about what is new since your last visit to the website. The other type of cookies is called session cookies. During the time you are surfing on a website, session cookies are temporarily stored in your computer’s memory, for example in order to remember what language you have selected. Session cookies are stored for a short period of time on your computer and they disappear when you close your browser.

Google Analytics – IP Masking and Web Statistics
As stated above, Ecospend uses Google Analytics to evaluate how its website is used in order to improve the contents, navigation and structure. Ecospend has set the Google Analytics tool to ensure that the information stored by Google is anonymous. This is done by Google Analytics by truncating (removing) the last digits from the visitor’s IP address before the information is stored by Google (so-called IP masking). Google may transfer this information to a third party if required by law or in the event a third party is processing the information on behalf of Google. Further information regarding the terms of use and data protection of Google can be found on https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html and on https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/.
