8. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

A cookie is a small text file placed in the memory of your browser or device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. The following types of cookies may be used on our Site:

• Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session (when you close the browser) and are used to link your actions during that particular browser session.
• Persistent cookies are stored on your device between browser sessions to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites.
• First-party cookies are set by our Site.
• Third-party cookies are set by a third-party website separate from our Site.

Web beacons are small graphic images and may also be used on our site (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) that may be included on websites, services, applications, messaging, and tools that typically work in conjunction with cookies to identify user behavior.

Other companies help us with various aspects of our business, such as site operations, services, applications, advertisements, and tools. We use authorized service providers to analyze and improve our Site and marketing efforts. These service providers may also place cookies on your device via our Site (third-party cookies). They may also collect information that helps them identify your devices, such as IP-address or other unique or device identifiers. Third-party cookies are covered by the third parties privacy policy.

Cookies can be disabled or removed by tools that are available in most commercial browsers. The preferences for each browser you use will need to be set separately, and different browsers offer different functionality and options.

Opting out of our first-party advertising-related cookies or out of third-party advertising-related cookies and web beacons as described herein does not necessarily mean that you will not see advertising — only that this advertising will not be targeted to you through the use of first-party or third-party cookies, web beacons, or related technologies.

If you would like to opt-out of all other types of technologies we employ or may employ in the future on our Site, you may do so by blocking, deleting, or disabling them as your browser or device permits.

9. DO NOT TRACK

Do Not Track is a privacy preference a user may be able to set in their web browsers. When a user turns on a Do Not Track signal, their browser typically sends a message to websites requesting it not track the user. At this time, we do not recognize or respond to Do Not Track browser settings or signals, and we will still receive information. As a result, we may still collect information about you and your internet activity, even if you have turned on the Do Not Track signal.

It is possible some or all of our third-party advertising partners or members of their affiliate networks may participate in consumer opt-out programs. To learn more about internet-based advertising and consumer opt-out programs, go to http://aboutads.info/choices or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

10. INFORMATION SECURITY

We encrypt Personal Information you send to us via the Site using secure socket layer technology (sometimes referred to as “SSL”). No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100{4c4f03b91cd9576fd99f221c8ec5638e80a399c7c28249074e73a48353523d39} secure. Therefore, although our systems are monitored for possible attacks and vulnerabilities, we cannot guarantee their absolute security. We are not responsible for the unauthorized acts of others, and we assume no liability for any disclosure of information due to transmission errors, unauthorized third-party access (e.g., hacking) or other acts of third parties, or acts or omissions beyond our reasonable control.

If you have questions about the security of your Personal Information, contact us as described below.

11. COMMUNICATIONS FROM TAYLORED SERVICES

You consent to receive communications from us, including automated communications, related to our Site and services.  If you do not wish to receive communications from us, you may opt-out by following the instructions provided in each communication or contacting us as described below. Upon receiving your request, we may contact you to confirm our compliance or clarify the scope of your request.

12. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our Site and the services we offer and sell are intended for businesses and individuals engaged in commercial shipping. Therefore, it is unlikely that children under the age of 17 will use the Site or purchase the services we offer. Accordingly, we will not knowingly collect or use Personal Information from children we know under the age of 17. In addition, we will delete any information in our database we become aware has originated from a child under the age of 17.

If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you, your parent, or your legal guardian may request we deactivate any of your Personal Information in our database and/or opt-out from receiving communications from us. If you wish to do so, please contact us as described below.

13. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

You will be able to access third-party websites directly from the Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply when you access third-party websites. We cannot control how third parties may use the Personal Information you disclose to them, so you should carefully review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit before using it or disclosing your personal information to its provider.
