Introduction

This Cookie Policy outlines the types of cookies and other tracking technologies that HomeCEC may place on your device when you interact with our website or use our services.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or device when you visit certain websites. HomeCEC uses various types of cookies, including essential cookies, performance cookies, advertising cookies, and content-related cookies. These cookies improve your experience by remembering your preferences (such as login or language settings), allowing for smoother website navigation, and enhancing overall functionality.
Cookies also provide insights into how visitors use the website, whether it’s their first time or a return visit.

Types of Cookies We Use:

Essential Cookies

    These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the website, such as enabling shopping carts and payment processing. Without these, certain services, like placing an order, wouldn’t work.

    Example: We use session cookies to track actions like filling out forms across multiple pages.

    Functional Cookies

      Functional cookies remember choices you’ve made, such as language or region settings, to tailor your experience. These may also include login credentials or personalized settings.

      Example: Authentication cookies that allow users to log in and access secured areas.

      Performance and Analytics Cookies

        These cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors use the website, like which pages are frequently visited. This helps us improve our website’s performance.
        Example: We use Google Analytics to track user behavior and optimize functionality.

        Advertising Cookies

          These cookies are used to show relevant ads based on your browsing habits. They may be shared with third-party advertisers to ensure ads are tailored to your interests.

          Example: We use Facebook Pixel to deliver targeted ads on social media platforms.

          Social Media & Content Cookies
            Cookies from social media plugins or video players allow you to interact with platforms like Facebook or view embedded content such as YouTube videos.
            Example: The Facebook 'like' button uses cookies to enable interaction with social media.

            How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?
            Cookies may be either session-based (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent (which remain until manually deleted or expire). Most cookies we use are persistent and typically expire between 30 minutes to two years after they are set on your device.

            Managing Cookies
            You can control or delete cookies via your browser settings. However, blocking cookies may negatively affect your user experience, and some website features may not work properly.
