TTS Websites use cookies. By using a TTS Website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to the website's use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this Policy.
1.1 We and our third party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms (including tracking technologies designed for mobile applications) to track information about your use of TTS Websites and Services. We may combine this information with other Personal Information we collect from you.
2.1 "Cookies" are small files that reside on your computer's hard drive, generally contain an anonymous unique identifier and are accessible only by the website that placed them there and not any other sites.
2.2 TTS Websites may set and access Cookies on your computer. In addition, we may gather certain information about you, including details of your operating system, browser version, domain name and IP address, and the details of any website you linked from to TTS Websites. We do this in order to enable us to provide the services available on these websites and to monitor and improve the websites. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our websites and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our websites and Services.
2.3 There are four types of cookie:
2.3.1 Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our websites. They include, for example, cookies that enable users to log into secure areas of our websites.
2.3.2 Analytical cookies. These types of cookies allow us to recognise, count the number of visitors, and see how visitors move around our websites when they are using them. This assists us to improve the way in which our websites work, for example, by ensuring that you can find what you are looking for easily.
2.3.3 Functionality cookies. These cookies are used to recognise you when you return to our websites. They enable the personalisation of content, recognition of users, and also remember your user preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
2.3.4 Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our websites, the individual pages visited and the links followed. If the cookie is set by a third party that also monitors traffic on other websites, this type of cookie may also be used to track your movements across different websites and to create profiles of your general online behaviour. Information collected by tracking cookies is commonly used to target online advertising.
2.4 The four types of cookies above will be either session cookies or persistent cookies:
2.4.1 Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into a particular website or Service. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through the website or Service.
2.4.2 Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to remember your user information, preferences and activity, to enable us to provide our services to you when you next return to our websites or Services. We also use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity, which may be combined with other user information.
2.5 Our cookies are not used:
3.1 We may also store your user information and website preferences locally within your web browser via HTML5.
4.1 Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Websites or Services to, among other things, track the activities of website visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about website and Services usage. We and our third party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
5.1 Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you: (i) how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies (ii) how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or (iii) how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our websites who disable their web browser’s ability to accept cookies will be able to browse the website; however, most site features will not function if you disable cookies and you will not be able to automatically login to use our services.
6.1 Our websites, like most websites, includes functionalities given by third parties. Third party cookies originate from the integration of elements by other websites. We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics to evaluate the use of our websites and our Services. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store and use this information. To opt out of Google Analytics, please go to: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Google's privacy policy is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
6.2 We use these tools to help us improve our Services, performance, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. These third parties may collect your device ID, IP address, or other information about your use of the Services as part of the analytics they provide to us.
6.3 We also use these tools to create a better understanding of traffic and potential trade flows to enable ourselves and our partners to develop services to support these actual and potential trade flows.
7.1 We reserve the right to use third parties, such as network advertisers and other marketing agents, to display advertisements on Our Websites, to assist us in displaying advertisements on third party websites, and to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to Our Websites and unrelated third party websites. This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements by displaying ads for products and services in which you might be interested. Third party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs, and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalise advertising content to you. These third party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information about your use of Our website and our Services, as well as aggregate or non-personally identifiable information about visitors to Our Website and users of our Service.
7.2 You may opt-out of many third-party ad networks, including those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). For more information regarding this practice by NAI members and DAA members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including how to opt-out of third-party ad networks operated by NAI and DAA members, please visit their respective websites https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!%2F (NAI) and https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN#!%2F (DAA).
7.3 Opting out of one or more NAI members or DAA member networks (many of which will be the same) only means that those members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on Our Website or other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or mobile device or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt-out may no longer be effective. Additional information is available on NAI’s and DAA’s websites accessible by the above links.
8.1 If you have any questions regarding our use of cookies, please contact us at: helpdesk@tradetech.cloud.com
9.1 We may change this Cookie Policy from time to time. This may be necessary, for example, if the law changes, or if we change our business in a way that affects personal data protection.
10.1 Any changes will be immediately posted on TTS Websites and you will be deemed to have accepted the terms of the Cookie Policy on your first use of a TTS Website following the alterations. We recommend that you check this page regularly to keep up-to-date.
