1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Hydraulic Ocean Group website (http://ctczg.com), and what choices you have.
This policy should be read alongside our main Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we process personal data.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
- Cookies: A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. It allows the site to remember your actions or preferences over time.
- Similar Technologies: This includes web beacons, pixels, or local storage, which function similarly to cookies.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in (if applicable), or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the site may then not work.
- Example: A cookie that remembers your acceptance of this cookie policy to prevent the banner from reappearing on each page.
- Performance/Analytics Cookies: These allow us to count visits and traffic sources to measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are popular and how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous. Currently, we do not use any performance or analytics cookies that require consent. If we implement them in the future, we will seek your consent.
- Functional Cookies: These enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your region or language preference. Currently, we do not use functional cookies. If we implement them in the future, we will seek your consent.
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These may be set through our site by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. We do not currently use any targeting or advertising cookies.
4. Your Cookie Choices and Controls
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies that require consent.
- Cookie Consent Banner: Upon your first visit to our website, a cookie consent banner will allow you to accept or decline non-essential cookies (if and when we use them). You can also revisit your choices at any time through a link in the website footer (e.g., “Cookie Preferences“).
- Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to block all cookies (including strictly necessary ones), our website may not function correctly. The “Help” section of your browser typically provides instructions on managing cookie settings.
- All About Cookies provides useful information on managing cookies for various browsers.
- CCPA/CPRA “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”: As stated, we do not use cookies for advertising or selling personal information. Therefore, we do not engage in activities that would trigger a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link under CCPA/CPRA related to cookies. Should this change, we will update this policy and provide the required opt-out mechanism.
5. Specific Disclosures for Legal Compliance
- For Visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA): We rely on your consent for the use of any performance, functional, or targeting cookies. This consent is managed through our cookie banner. For strictly necessary cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website.
- For California Residents: Under the CCPA/CPRA, certain uses of cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a “sale” or “share” of personal information. As we do not engage in such activities, no opt-out is currently required.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The “Last Updated” date at the top will indicate when the latest changes were made.
