Cookies

When you visit ElectricPaddle.com, PropEle's servers send a cookie to your computer. Standing alone, cookies do not identify you. They merely recognize your Web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to PropEle, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or filling out a Web form, you remain anonymous to Ecwid.

We use cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer.

If you have identified yourself to ElectricPaddle.com, we use session cookies containing encrypted information to identify you uniquely. Each time you log into the Services, your browser saves a session cookie containing an encrypted, unique identifier tied to your account. These session cookies allow Ecwid.com to identify you uniquely while you are logged into the Services and to process your online transactions and requests. Use of the Services requires session cookies.

ElectricPaddle.com uses persistent cookies that only we can read and use to identify users who have visited our website previously. When you purchase the Services or provide us with personal information, our website assigns a unique identifier to you. This unique identifier derives from a persistent cookie that ElectricPaddle.com places on your Web browser. We especially are careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, we store neither account numbers nor passwords in persistent cookies. If you disable your Web browser's ability to accept cookies, you will be able to navigate ElectricPaddle.com, but you may be unable to use the Services successfully.
