Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how [Your Website Name] (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at www.sailingthedeep.com . It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

1. 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 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, [Your Website Name]) 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., like 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.

Specifically, our website uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable you to navigate our site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, certain services cannot be provided.

  • Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, the time spent on each page, and any issues encountered, like error messages. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous, helping us improve the performance and usability of our website.

  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember the choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For instance, they may be used to remember your login details and preferences.

  • Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They also limit the number of times you see an ad and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

3. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set your web browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, please note that if you choose to refuse or delete cookies, this may affect your ability to use certain features or services on our website.

Most web browsers allow control of cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

4. What About Other Tracking Technologies?

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable 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 our site to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, and to improve site performance.

5. Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, data protection laws, or our practices. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
