Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites function more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the website about how visitors interact with their content.

Cookies contain a small amount of data, often including an anonymous unique identifier. They are sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your device. The website server can retrieve the cookie from your browser on subsequent visits, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous interactions.

Cookies can be categorized in several ways:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during a single browsing session and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain continuity during your visit, such as keeping you logged into a service.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a defined period of time or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits and to recognize you when you return to a website.
• First-Party Cookies: Cookies set directly by the website you are visiting, in this case tmm-control.com.
• Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by domains other than the website you are visiting, typically placed by analytics providers, advertising networks, or other embedded services.

TMM Control uses cookies and similar technologies on our website for the following primary purposes:

• Essential Website Functionality: To ensure that our website loads correctly and functions as intended, and to maintain the security and integrity of our web platform.
• Performance and Analytics: To collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, where visitors come from, and whether visitors encounter any error messages. This information helps us understand and improve our website's performance and user experience.
• Functionality and Preferences: To remember choices you make when using our website, such as language preferences or other settings, so that we can provide a more personalized experience on return visits.
• Understanding Visitor Behavior: To gain insights into the effectiveness of our website content, the topics our visitors find most relevant, and the overall journey visitors take through our site, so that we can make informed decisions about content and design improvements.

TMM Control does not use cookies for targeted advertising or to build advertising profiles based on your browsing behavior across other websites. Our use of cookies is limited to understanding and improving our own website and ensuring it functions properly for our visitors.

We organize the cookies used on our website into the following four categories, consistent with the classification framework used by the International Chamber of Commerce and widely adopted by data protection authorities:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, core website functions would not work. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under most applicable privacy frameworks.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
• Targeting and Preference Cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We may use this information to make our website and content more relevant to your interests. At this time, TMM Control does not deploy targeting cookies for advertising purposes.

The following table describes the specific cookies currently deployed on the TMM Control website, their purpose, and their retention period. This list is updated periodically as we add, modify, or remove cookies from our website.

Please note that the specific cookies deployed on our website may change over time as we update our website technology, adopt new analytics tools, or modify our functionality. We will update this table accordingly and, where required, seek your consent for any new non-essential cookies.

Some cookies placed on our website are set by third-party services that we use to enhance our website's functionality and understand its performance. The primary third-party services that may place cookies on our website include:

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click, and how long you spend on each page. This information is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States. Google applies its own privacy policy to data collected through Google Analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Embedded Content Providers: Our website may include embedded content such as videos, maps, or social media widgets from third-party providers. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their embedded content. We do not control these cookies and recommend you review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party providers whose content appears on our site.

We do not allow third-party advertising networks or data brokers to place cookies on our website. Our third-party cookie use is limited to analytics and functionality services that help us operate and improve our website.

When third-party cookies involve the transfer of personal data to servers located outside your jurisdiction, such transfers are governed by the privacy policies and data transfer mechanisms of the respective third-party providers. We encourage you to review those policies to understand how your data is handled.

In addition to cookies, TMM Control may use other similar technologies to collect information about how you interact with our website:

• Web Beacons: Also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, these are small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened. Web beacons may be used in conjunction with cookies to understand visitor behavior and measure the effectiveness of our communications.
• Local Storage: Some website features may use the browser's local storage capability to store information locally on your device. Unlike cookies, data stored in local storage does not expire automatically and is not transmitted to our servers with each page request. We use local storage only for functionality purposes, such as remembering your preferences.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but limited to a single browser session. Data stored in session storage is cleared automatically when you close your browser tab. We may use session storage to maintain state within a single visit to our website.
• Server Logs: Our web servers automatically record certain information about each request made to our website, including your IP address, browser type, referring page, pages requested, and the date and time of each request. Server logs are used primarily for security monitoring, troubleshooting, and aggregate traffic analysis.

Your ability to control these technologies varies. Browser settings typically allow you to manage cookies and local storage. Web beacons embedded in pages are generally controlled through your browser settings, while web beacons in emails can be limited by configuring your email client not to download remote images.

You have several options for controlling and managing cookies on our website and more broadly in your browser. We respect your right to make choices about the cookies you accept, and we provide the following mechanisms for doing so:

Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. Your preferences are stored in a consent cookie and applied to your subsequent visits. You can change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings option available on our website.

Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through the browser's settings. You can typically configure your browser to:

• Notify you when a cookie is being set so that you can choose whether to accept it
• Block all cookies, including first-party and third-party cookies
• Block only third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies
• Delete existing cookies that have already been placed on your device
• Use private or incognito browsing mode, which does not retain cookies after the session ends

Instructions for managing cookies in the most commonly used browsers are available at the following resources:

• Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
• Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer
• Apple Safari: support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471
• Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge

Google Analytics Opt-Out: To specifically opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information about your visits with Google Analytics.

Do Not Track: Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. Our website currently does not respond differently to Do Not Track signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We will update this position if an industry standard is established.

Our use of cookies is governed by applicable privacy and electronic communications laws, including the EU ePrivacy Directive and its national implementations, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, and other applicable laws depending on your location.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: We do not require your consent to use strictly necessary cookies because these are essential to deliver the services you have requested by visiting our website. Our legitimate interest in providing a functioning, secure website provides the legal basis for these cookies.

Non-Essential Cookies: For all cookies that are not strictly necessary, including analytics and functionality cookies, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing. We request this consent through our cookie consent banner when you first visit our website. You may withdraw your consent at any time by updating your cookie preferences through the cookie settings available on our website or by adjusting your browser settings.

Where applicable law requires us to obtain consent before placing non-essential cookies, we will not place such cookies until you have provided your consent. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any cookie-based processing that occurred before you withdrew your consent.

You are not required to accept cookies to visit the TMM Control website. However, choosing to disable certain categories of cookies may affect your experience on our website in the following ways:

• If You Disable Strictly Necessary Cookies: Core website functionality may be impaired. Some pages may not load correctly, forms may not submit properly, and security features may not function as intended. We strongly recommend leaving strictly necessary cookies enabled for the best website experience.
• If You Disable Analytics Cookies: We will not be able to collect data about how you use our website. This will not prevent you from using any part of the website, but it will limit our ability to understand visitor behavior and improve our website over time. Your experience of the website itself will remain the same.
• If You Disable Functionality Cookies: Certain personalization features may not work as expected. For example, your language preferences or display settings may not be remembered between visits, and you may need to re-enter certain preferences each time you visit.

Disabling all cookies through your browser settings may also affect other websites you visit, not just the TMM Control website. We recommend familiarizing yourself with your browser's cookie management options before making broad changes to your cookie settings.

If you choose to disable non-essential cookies, you can still access all of the substantive content and information on our website and submit inquiries through our contact forms. Our core website content and functionality are accessible regardless of your cookie preferences.

TMM Control reviews and updates this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies and tracking technologies we use, changes in applicable law, and improvements to our website. When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the effective date at the top of the document and, where appropriate, notify you through our cookie consent mechanism or other means.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. If we add new categories of cookies or introduce cookies that process your personal data in materially different ways, we will seek your consent again through our cookie consent banner before placing such cookies on your device.

The most current version of this Cookie Policy supersedes all previous versions. This policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, consistent with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies or similar tracking technologies, or if you wish to exercise any rights you may have in connection with data collected through cookies, please contact us. We are committed to addressing all cookie-related inquiries promptly and transparently.

For questions about how data collected through cookies is processed as personal information, please also refer to our Privacy Policy or contact us directly using the details below. All formal requests related to cookie-based data processing will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.
