Cookie Policy
Last Updated: [current date]
This Cookie Policy explains how Maritime Zone ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites and mobile applications (the "Services"). Cookies help us operate the Services, improve performance, understand usage, prevent abuse, and show and measure advertising.
How you consent
When you first visit the Services, you may see a cookie notice. By clicking "I agree" on that notice, or by continuing to use the Services after the notice is shown, you agree to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Cookie Policy.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide reporting information.
Types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies - required for core functionality (for example, login, security, and fraud prevention).
- Functional cookies - remember your choices (for example, language or display preferences).
- Analytics and performance cookies - help us understand how the Services are used and improve them.
- Advertising cookies - help deliver ads, limit how often you see an ad, measure ad performance, and provide reporting.
Our cookies
We use first-party cookies that are set by Maritime Zone to operate and secure the Services. Examples may include:
- Session cookies (to keep you logged in while you navigate the site).
- Preference cookies (to remember settings such as language).
- Security cookies (to help prevent abuse and unauthorized access).
Third-party cookies
We also use third-party services that may set their own cookies or similar identifiers. These providers may collect information such as cookie identifiers, device identifiers, IP address, browser type, pages visited, and interactions with ads and the Services. In some jurisdictions, this information may be considered personal data.
Depending on your location, consent choices, device, applicable legal requirements, and how you use the Services, third-party providers may include:
- Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager - analytics, usage measurement, and performance measurement.
- Yandex Metrica - analytics, usage measurement, and performance measurement, where enabled. Yandex Metrica is not used for users from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or Ukraine.
- Cloudflare - security, performance, traffic management, bot protection, and, where used, web analytics or insights.
- Google AdSense and related advertising technologies - ad delivery, ad measurement, frequency capping, fraud prevention, reporting, and, depending on your choices, personalized advertising.
- Other advertising technology providers - where advertising is delivered through third-party advertising platforms, additional advertising partners may process data for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and personalization, depending on your location and consent choices.
We do not control third-party cookies directly. Their use is governed by the third parties’ own policies.
Advertising and personalized ads
Ads on Maritime Zone may be delivered by third parties such as Google (AdSense). These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, limit ad frequency, and measure effectiveness. Depending on your settings, some ads may be personalized (interest-based).
You can learn more about Google’s advertising technologies here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and manage ad personalization settings here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
For users in the European Economic Area and the UK, you may also use: https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ to manage certain advertising preferences.
How to control cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can delete cookies, block cookies, or configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Services (for example, login and saved preferences).
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. At this time, our Services do not respond to DNT signals.
