Cookie Statement
Our services more personal
When you visit a website, it often places a small text file on your computer, tablet or mobile phone.This is called a cookie. The Ecclesia websites also uses cookies. This applies to all our online applications, including but not limited to our websites and portals. On this page we explain why and when we do so.
What do cookies do?
A cookie ensures that website users are distinguished from each other. This makes websites easier to use. For example, cookies ensure that you can stay logged in to a website or that your preferences are remembered, such as location and language settings. Website owners can also use cookies to collect general information about the use of the website in order to improve the site. Furthermore, some cookies make it possible to track browsing behaviour. For example, websites and advertisers may learn about your preferences, allowing them to display more relevant content.
Cookies are anonymous. They are not used to store your private information, such as email address or telephone number.
Who can place cookies?
Cookies can be placed by the site you are visiting or by other websites that manage content that is displayed on the page you are visiting, such as advertisers.
Why does Ecclesia use cookies?
We want you to be able to use our website as well as possible. We distinguish three types of cookies: functional (necessary) cookies, technical, anonymous cookies to collect information about the use of the website and Marketing/tracking cookies to offer you specific information.
Technical, anonymous cookies for research into the website
We use cookies to improve the website. We investigate how visitors use our website. For example, we measure how often web pages are visited and where visitors spend the most time, whether they drop out when filling out a form, which search terms they use, etc. We measure this with software from Google Analytics. Based on this information, we can better tailor the structure, navigation and content of the website to the visitors, so that they can find what they are looking for more easily and quickly. We do not trace the reports back to individuals.
Functional cookies to make the site work properly
Some cookies are necessary to make the website work properly. For example, our customer portal works with functional cookies: a cookie assesses whether you are logged in and recognizes you as the same user when you go to another page within Ecclesia, so that you remain logged in. And by placing a cookie on your computer, we can remember your user name. You will then log in more quickly next time. Of course, we never store passwords or private data about your surfing behavior. Functional cookies are not used for visitor analysis.
Marketing/tracking cookies
We also use cookies that tell us something about your user profile. We do this both on our website as well as on external websites. We show information tailored to a previous visit to our website.
Can you disable cookies?
Yes, you can. Cookies are stored on your computer. If you do not want websites to place cookies on your computer at all, you can adjust the settings of your browser so that you receive a warning before cookies are placed. You can also adjust the settings so that your browser refuses all cookies or only cookies from third parties. You can also delete cookies that have already been placed. Please note that you must adjust the settings separately for each browser and device you use.
Please be aware that if you do not want cookies, the website may not function optimally and you may not always be able to use all the features of the website. Cookies ensure that the website is displayed correctly.
