A notice has been displayed on a website for users in European Economic Area (EEA) countries, including the EU, due to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These users cannot access the site as it is blocked by the European Court of Justice.
The website requires users to accept cookies to enhance navigation, track usage patterns, and support marketing efforts. Cookies are small files used to improve user experience on websites. There are three types:
1. **Performance Cookies**: Help analyze website traffic and functionality.
2. **Functional Cookies**: Keep you logged in or provide site features.
3. **Advertising Cookies**: Allow third-party ads to display based on your browsing habits.
Users can choose to accept all cookies, select specific ones, or disable them entirely by clicking “Accept All Cookies.” However, GDPR compliance for EEA countries blocks this process, temporarily hindering access. Users are encouraged to contact the website via email ([email protected]) or phone (213-655-2635) for assistance.
The legal reason is that EEA users must adhere to GDPR regulations when accessing European websites, making it impossible to disable cookies in this case.
