Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how EGAST uses cookies, local storage, similar technologies, and consent choices on the website.
Last updated: June 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on a visitor’s device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and scripts that help the website operate, remember choices, measure performance, or support marketing when approved.
EGAST consent model
Strictly necessary cookies are active because they are required for the website to work. Analytics, functional, and marketing cookies remain optional and are controlled through the cookie banner and preference center.
Your choices
Visitors can Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Manage Preferences. The footer Cookie Settings link allows visitors to change their choice later. EGAST stores the consent choice, version, and timestamp for up to six months unless changed earlier.
Google Analytics and consent mode
If EGAST activates Google Analytics, analytics storage is denied by default and enabled only after analytics consent. Marketing/ad storage remains denied unless EGAST activates marketing tools and the visitor accepts them.
Browser controls
Visitors may also delete or block cookies through their browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website functions such as saved preferences or form behavior.
Changes to cookies
EGAST may update cookie categories, tools, or durations when the website changes. Significant updates should be reflected in this policy and the consent preference center.
