Cookie Notice

Last updated: April 2026  |  Applies to: eretheld.com  |  Operated by ESSE Inc.

This page describes cookies used on eretheld.com. For ESSE Inc.'s full cookie policy including the fleet portal, visit esseinc.com/cookies.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in — and help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.

2. Cookies We Use

We use two categories of cookies on eretheld.com: essential cookies required for the site to function, and analytics cookies that help us understand usage patterns.

3. Cross-Domain Tracking

We use Google Analytics 4 with cross-domain linking between eretheld.com, esseinc.com, and portal.esseinc.com. This allows us to understand the full user journey across our websites as a single session, rather than treating each domain visit separately. No personal data is shared between domains through this process — only anonymous analytics identifiers.

4. What We Do NOT Use

5. Google Analytics and Your Data

Google Analytics 4 collects anonymized information about how visitors use our website. This includes pages viewed, session duration, browser type, and geographic region (country/city level). IP addresses are anonymized. Data is processed by Google LLC under their Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies (such as session cookies) will prevent you from logging in to the fleet portal. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect core functionality.
