1. About This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Ship Crew Agency uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally. By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies as described here, except where your consent is required and not given.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to site operators. Similar technologies — such as pixels, local storage, and software development kits — perform comparable functions, and references to "cookies" in this Policy include these technologies.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies — essential for the website to function, such as page navigation, security, and remembering your language preference (English or Simplified Chinese). These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Performance and analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting aggregated, and where possible anonymised, information. This helps us improve content and usability.
- Functional cookies — enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering choices you make.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles. If this changes, we will update this Policy and obtain consent where required.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers, for example analytics or content delivery providers that help us operate and measure the website. These providers process data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We take reasonable steps to ensure such providers handle data responsibly.
5. Legal Basis for Cookies
We place strictly necessary cookies on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a secure and functional website. For non-essential cookies (such as analytics and functional cookies), where required by applicable law we rely on your consent, which you can give, decline, or withdraw at any time.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the website, including your saved language preference.
