1. Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how Echo, provided by Ethica Compliance LLP, uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies when you visit public pages, access the support center, or use secure areas of the platform.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We also use similar browser storage mechanisms where appropriate to remember choices such as display preferences or consent status.

3. Cookies We Use

Essential cookies

These support sign-in sessions, CSRF protection, load balancing, and security controls that keep reporting and support workflows functioning correctly.

Preference storage

These remember choices such as theme mode and cookie consent responses so the interface remains consistent across visits.

Security and abuse prevention

We may use short-lived identifiers to detect suspicious activity, maintain request integrity, and protect support forms and authenticated workflows.

Optional cookies

If Echo introduces analytics, personalization, or other non-essential cookies, we will request consent before enabling them where required by law.

4. Why We Use Them

To maintain secure sessions and protect access to reports or support resources.
To remember your display settings and cookie choices.
To support technical operations such as language preferences and browser-related settings.
To document consent decisions when we rely on consent for non-essential cookies.

5. Lawful Basis

Essential cookies are used because they are necessary to provide the service securely and reliably. Where optional cookies are used, our basis is consent unless another lawful basis clearly applies under local law.

6. Retention

Some cookies expire when you close your browser session, while others remain for a limited time so your preferences can be remembered. Retention periods vary by purpose, and we aim to keep them no longer than necessary.

7. Managing Your Choices

You can accept or decline optional cookies through the Echo banner when it is shown. You can also clear browser storage or adjust browser settings, although blocking essential cookies may prevent secure parts of Echo from working properly.

8. More Information

For broader information about how Echo handles personal data, account information, support requests, and security-related technical data, please review the Privacy Policy.
