Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy makes an integral part of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. You can find out more about cookies and how to control them in the information below. Concepts written in capital letters in this Cookie Policy have the same meaning as defined in the Privacy Policy or in the Terms of Use.
1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device. They serve the purpose of making our Service more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies also make it possible for our systems to recognize your browser and offer you the best possible configuration.
We use cookies to collect information about the use of the Website and the Services.
2. TYPES OF COOKIES
In general, there are three different ways to classify cookies: how long they endure, their provenance and what purpose they serve.
DURATION
Session cookies – These cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends).
Persistent cookies — This category encompasses all cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them, or your browser does, depending on the cookie's expiration date. All persistent cookies have an expiration date written into their code, but their duration can vary.
PROVENANCE
First-party cookies — As the name implies, first-party cookies are put on your device directly by Coing.
Third-party cookies — These are the cookies that are placed on your device, not by Coing, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytic system.
Information on whether these are first-party or third-party cookies please check the category 'provider' below.

Coing has integrated Google Analytics on this website (with an anonymization function). Google Analytics is a website analysis service. Website analysis refers to the collection, recording and analysis of data regarding the behavior of visitors of Clockify. In other words, Google Analytics uses cookies to remember a User's behavior and provide Coing with reports on the visits of the Website and User's activity.

Google Analytics uses cookies, as described in the table above. The information about your use of Clockify generated by the Google Analytics cookies is normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google might disclose these personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
Coing has activated IP anonymization, which means that Google shortens User's IP addresses within the Member States of the European Union or in other countries that are parties to the European Marketing Area Treaty. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this information to analyze your use of the Website in order to compile a report about your Website activities and provide Coing with other services associated with the Website and Services.
