Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies are used on the Elvantis website, why they are used, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside the Elvantis Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to website operators.
Cookies can be "session cookies," which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Cookies set by the website operator are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies."
Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage may also be used for similar purposes. References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.
