3. Cookies & Affiliate Tracking Policy
EPT uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and maintain our platform. Cookies allow us to:
Recognize your preferences and settings.
Analyze website performance and traffic.
Track Affiliate Links: EPT partners with selected affiliate programs. When you click on certain outbound links to book a stay or purchase a product, a tracking cookie is placed on your device. This allows the merchant to know you came from our site, which may result in EPT earning a small commission at no extra cost to you.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings or our Cookie Preferences banner, but please note that some features of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
4. Data Security
We prioritize the security of your personal information:
All sensitive data, including payment details, is encrypted and transmitted via secure channels.
Our systems are monitored and regularly updated to protect against data breaches.
Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only.
While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure. By using our services, you acknowledge and accept this inherent risk.
5. Third-Party Services
EPT uses trusted third-party services for payment processing, analytics, email newsletters, and affiliate link tracking. These third parties are bound by confidentiality agreements and are strictly governed by their own privacy policies. They are not permitted to use your data for purposes beyond providing their services to EPT.
