Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how the Ocean7 Maritime website (o7m.biz) uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small text files stored on a user's device when visiting a website. They help the website function correctly and, where consent is given, provide analytics about how the site is used.

Cookies are generally categorised as follows:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website to function correctly
• Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors interact with the website
• Preference cookies — used to remember user choices and settings
• Marketing cookies — used to deliver relevant advertising content

Ocean7 Maritime does not knowingly use marketing cookies on this website.

The website stores a consent preference in the browser's local storage under the key 'o7m_consent'. This allows the cookie consent banner to remember whether consent has been given, rejected, or not yet presented. This is strictly necessary for the website to function and does not require separate consent.

No strictly necessary HTTP cookies are set before consent is given.

With your consent, the website loads Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage data. Google Analytics uses cookies to understand how visitors interact with the website.

Analytics cookies are only loaded after you have explicitly accepted them through the cookie consent banner. If you reject analytics cookies, no analytics scripts are loaded, no analytics cookies are set, and no analytics data is collected.

When consent is given, Google Analytics 4 typically sets the following cookie:

• _ga — distinguishes individual users (duration: up to 2 years)

Google Analytics 4 may set additional cookies as part of its standard operation. IP addresses are anonymised where analytics is enabled.

The website stores your cookie consent choice (accepted, rejected, or not yet given) in the browser's local storage. This is used to remember your preference and is not shared with any third party.

Ocean7 Maritime does not use marketing or advertising cookies on this website.

The only third-party cookie provider that may be used on this website is Google LLC, through Google Analytics, and only after consent is given.

Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

When you first visit the website, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may:

• Accept all cookies, including analytics
• Reject all non-essential cookies
• Manage your preferences to choose which categories to enable

Accept and Reject are given equal prominence. Non-essential categories are not preselected.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by using the Cookie Settings link in the website footer.

After withdrawing consent, analytics cookies will no longer be loaded on subsequent visits.

You may also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Each browser manages cookies differently. The following resources may be useful:

• Google Chrome — Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
• Apple Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Cookies
• Microsoft Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions

Disabling all cookies may affect some website functions.

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically. The revised version and effective date will be published on this page.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside the Ocean7 Maritime Privacy Policy, available at /privacy.
