This Cookie Policy explains how MACDUFF MARINE INC (“Company,”
“we,” “us,” and “our“) uses
cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website
at
https://macduffmarine.com
(“Website“). It explains what
these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control
our use of them.
In
some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes
personal information if we combine it with other
information.
What are
cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on
your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used
by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more
efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case,
MACDUFF MARINE INC ) are called “first-party
cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called
“third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or
functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising,
interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party
cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question
and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use
cookies?
We
use first- and third- party cookies for several
reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our
Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary”
cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our
Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more
detail below.
How can I control
cookies?
You
have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise
your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager.
The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you
accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly
necessary to provide you with services.
The
Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our
Website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website though
your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted.
You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse
cookies.
The
specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and
the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the
specific cookies served may vary
depending on the specific Online Properties you

How can I control cookies on my

through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s
help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the
most popular browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer
you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information,

What about other tracking technologies,
like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a
website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like
web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These
are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us
to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them
. This allows us, for
example, to monitor the traffic patterns of
users from one page within a website to another, to
deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand
whether you have come to the website from an online
advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to
improve site performance, and to measure the success of
email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these
technologies are reliant on cookies to function
properly, and so declining cookies will impair their
functioning.
Do you use Flash
cookies or Local Shared
Objects?
Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also
known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store
information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site
operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer,
you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using
the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings
Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by
going to the Global Storage Settings
Panel and following the instructions (which may include
instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies
(referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs
from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash
Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by
the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to
restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the
functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash
applications used in connection with our services or online
content.
Do
you serve targeted
advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile
device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information
about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements
about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology
that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by
using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other
sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential
interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or
them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you
unless you choose to provide these.
How often will you update this Cookie
Policy?
We
may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in
order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for
other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore
revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of
cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy
indicates when it was last updated.
