1. Intro

Our (EKWB d.o.o) websites (domains: ekwb.com, ekfluidgaming.com and b2b.ekwb.com) use cookies ("Cookies").

The controller of Cookies is the company EKWB d.o.o. (“EKWB” or “we” or “us” or “our), Poslovna cona Žeje pri Komendi, Pod lipami 18, 1218 Komenda, Slovenia – EU, e-mail: [email protected].

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, the term, “Websites” or “Our Websites” shall refer collectively to domains ekwb.com, ekfluidgaming.com, b2b.ekwb.com as well as the other websites or mobile application owned, operated or controlled by us and that link to this Cookie Policy.

This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about cookies, how and when we use cookies on our Websites, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

This Cookie Policy does not address how we deal with your personal information generally. To learn more about how we process your personal data, please see our Personal Data Protection site and Privacy Policy site.

2. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer, mobile device or browser by a web page server when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers in order to (for example) make their websites or services work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Some of the cookies will only be used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, and some cookies will always be used. Cookies enables, for instance, the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

You can find out more about each cookie by viewing our current EKWB cookie list below.

The cookie-related information is not used to identify you personally and the collected data is fully under our control.



3. Types of cookies


FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

One of the key attributes of a cookie is its 'Host' - this is the domain name of the site that ultimately sets the cookie. Cookies set by the website owner or service provider (in this case, EKWB) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or service you are using.

We use first-party and third-party cookies.

First-party cookies are issued by Our Websites and only Our Websites (only we) can read them.

The Websites include third-party widgets, such as the ‘Newsletter subscription” form, live chat service and other customer care services or interactive mini-programs that run on the Websites. These features may set a (third-party) cookie to enable the feature to function properly.

NECESSARY COOKIES, UNNECESSARY COOKIES AND EXEMPTIONS

Necessary cookies are required to operate Our Websites, display them properly and enable features or services you explicitly request. Our Websites cannot function properly without these cookies. These cookies are automatically enabled on Our Website upon your visit and they cannot be disabled. They include, for example, the ability to login, they enable you to move around the website and use its features or to access secure areas of the Website.

The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of the site. For all other types of cookies (unnecessary cookies; e.g. analytics cookies), we need your prior informed consent.

However, some cookies are exempt from this requirement. Consent is not required if the cookie is:

  • used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication, or
  • strictly necessary in order for the provider of an information society service explicitly required by the user to provide that service.

Cookies clearly exempt from consent according to the EU advisory body on data protection- WP29 include:

  • user-input cookies, such as first-party cookies to keep track of the user's input when filling online forms, shopping carts, etc., for the duration of a session or persistent cookies limited to a few hours in some cases,
  • authentication cookies, to identify the user once he has logged in, for the duration of a session,
  • user-centric security cookies, used to detect authentication abuses, for a limited persistent duration,
  • multimedia content player cookies, used to store technical data to play back video or audio content, for the duration of a session,
  • load-balancing cookies, for the duration of session,
  • user-interface customisation cookies such as language or font preferences, for the duration of a session (or slightly longer),
  • third-party social plug-in content-sharing cookies, for loggedin members of a social network.

SESSION AND PERSISTENT COOKIES

Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed. Persistent cookies may expire at a later date or remain on your device until you clear them from your browser or device.
