Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It helps the site remember information about your visit, which can make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you. This website also uses similar browser storage (local storage) for the same purposes.

For example, we use cookies and local storage to remember your cookie-consent choice, to remember articles you save, to protect your data, and — with your consent — to count how many visitors we receive to a page so we can improve the site. We do not use advertising cookies and do not show personalized ads.

This page describes the types of cookies used by esc-shooting.org.

Types of cookies used by esc-shooting.org

Some or all of the cookies described below may be stored in your browser. You can also manage cookies in your browser (though browsers for mobile devices may not offer this visibility).

Functionality

Cookies used for functionality allow users to interact with a service or site to access features that are fundamental to that service. Things considered fundamental to the service include preferences such as your cookie-consent choice and the articles you have saved, and product optimizations that help maintain and improve the service. This information is stored on your device and is not sent to or read by our servers.

Security

Cookies used for security authenticate users, prevent fraud, and protect users as they interact with a service. Some cookies are used to prevent spam, fraud and abuse, ensuring that requests within a browsing session are made by the user and not by other sites.

Analytics

Cookies used for analytics help collect data that allows a service to understand how users interact with it. These insights allow us to improve content and to build better features that improve the user’s experience.

We use analytics only if you accept them in the consent banner. They are never enabled unless you give your consent, and they are not used for advertising or personalized ads.

Third-party content

Some pages embed content from third parties — for example videos and live streams from YouTube and Facebook. When you view such content, the provider may set its own cookies on your device (for example YouTube’s ‘YSC’ cookie), governed by that provider’s own privacy and cookie policies. The ESC does not control these cookies.

Managing cookies

On your first visit a consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen, where you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer. In addition, most browsers allow you to manage how cookies are set and used as you’re browsing, and to clear cookies and browsing data — some also let you manage cookies on a site-by-site basis.
