This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy .
Cookies and similar technologies are small technical mechanisms that may be used by a website to maintain a session, remember limited information, protect forms, support security or provide other website functionality.
1. Our Current Cookie Approach
Ship Chandler Abidjan is designed primarily as a business information and vessel RFQ website.
We currently intend to use only cookies, sessions or similar storage mechanisms that are reasonably necessary for website operation, form security, administration and other essential technical functionality.
We do not currently intentionally deploy advertising cookies or marketing profiling cookies through our own website functionality.
If non-essential analytics, advertising, personalization or similar technologies are introduced in the future, this policy should be updated and any consent mechanism required by applicable law should be implemented before those technologies are activated where required.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information that websites may store on a visitor's browser or device.
Cookies may be temporary and expire when the browser session ends, or they may remain on a device for a defined period.
Similar technologies can perform related functions without necessarily using a traditional browser cookie.
3. Essential Cookies and Sessions
Essential technical cookies or session mechanisms may be required to provide secure website functionality.
On this website, such mechanisms may be used for purposes including:
- Maintaining a secure website session.
- Protecting website forms against unauthorized or fraudulent requests.
- Supporting CSRF protection for forms and administrative actions.
- Maintaining authenticated administrator sessions.
- Supporting core website security.
- Remembering temporary technical information required for website functionality.
Disabling essential session technologies may cause certain parts of the website, including forms or secure administrative features, to stop functioning correctly.
4. Cookie Categories
| Category | Purpose | Current Status |
|---|---|---|
| Essential / Technical | Website operation, session management, form protection and security. | May be used where required for the website to function securely. |
| Analytics | Measuring website traffic and visitor interaction. | Not intentionally deployed by us at present. |
| Advertising | Advertising measurement, profiling or targeted marketing. | Not intentionally deployed by us at present. |
| Personalization | Remembering non-essential user preferences or customizing content. | Not intentionally deployed by us at present. |
5. Session and Form Security
Website forms may use technical session information to help verify that a request originates from a valid browsing session.
For example, security mechanisms may be used to help protect the RFQ form and administrative actions from cross-site request forgery and other unauthorized submissions.
These mechanisms are intended to protect website users and the website itself rather than to track visitors for advertising.
6. RFQ Form
The Request for Quotation form allows customers and vessel representatives to submit vessel information, contact details, requisition requirements and supporting attachments.
Information submitted through an RFQ is governed by our Privacy Policy rather than being used for advertising cookie profiling.
7. Administrator Sessions
Restricted website administration areas may use authenticated session mechanisms to identify an authorized administrator during a secure session.
Such session functionality is required to prevent unauthorized access to administrative features such as RFQ management.
8. Third-Party Resources
Some website pages may load technical resources from third-party providers, for example externally hosted fonts, icons, scripts or other website assets.
When a browser connects directly to a third-party service, that provider may receive technical information such as an IP address, browser information or request details according to its own policies.
Ship Chandler Abidjan does not control the independent privacy or cookie practices of third-party websites and services.
9. External Links
This website may contain links to external websites. Cookies used by those websites are controlled by the relevant third party and are not governed by this Cookie Policy.
Visitors should review the privacy and cookie information provided by the relevant external website.
10. Analytics and Advertising
We do not currently intentionally use non-essential advertising or behavioral tracking cookies through our own website configuration.
If analytics or advertising services are added later, their purpose, provider and cookie categories should be disclosed here and a suitable consent mechanism should be introduced before non-essential cookies are activated where required.
11. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most modern browsers allow users to view, delete or block cookies through browser privacy or security settings.
Browser controls may allow you to:
- Delete previously stored cookies.
- Block all cookies.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Configure different cookie rules for individual websites.
- Clear website data when the browser is closed.
Blocking all cookies or storage mechanisms may affect website functionality. In particular, secure forms or authenticated areas may not work correctly where a required session cannot be maintained.
12. Non-Essential Cookies
Where applicable law requires consent before a non-essential cookie or similar technology can be placed or accessed, such technology should not be activated until the required consent has been obtained.
Users should also be provided with a practical method of refusing or withdrawing consent for non-essential technologies where required.
13. Changes to Website Technology
The website may change over time. New functionality, analytics services or other technical tools may be introduced or removed.
When a material change affects the way cookies or similar technologies are used, this Cookie Policy should be updated accordingly.
14. Changes to This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in website functionality, technology, business processes or applicable requirements.
