Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy describes how ClearSea uses cookies and similar technologies when individuals access or interact with the ClearSea website, applications, and artificial intelligence platform, including ClearSea Discover, ClearSea Command, ClearSea Flow, and related services (collectively, the 'Services'). This policy explains what cookies are, the categories of cookies used by ClearSea, the purposes for which they are deployed, and the options available to users to manage or control their use.

Cookies and related technologies are widely used by online platforms to ensure that services operate efficiently, securely, and reliably. These technologies allow digital services to remember user preferences, maintain secure sessions, analyze platform performance, and improve user experience. By accessing or continuing to use the Services, users acknowledge that ClearSea may use cookies and similar technologies in accordance with the practices described in this Cookie Policy.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with the ClearSea Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how personal data is collected, processed, and protected.

Cookies are small data files that are placed on a user's device, such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet, when visiting a website or using an online service. Cookies store limited information that allows websites or applications to recognize devices and maintain certain information about user interactions.

Cookies may store session identifiers, authentication information, preferences, or other technical data necessary for the operation of digital services. Cookies typically do not contain personally identifiable information by themselves but may be associated with other information that can identify a user when combined with account or usage data.

In addition to traditional cookies, ClearSea may use other technologies that perform similar functions. These technologies may include web beacons, tracking pixels, embedded scripts, device identifiers, and local storage technologies. These tools allow ClearSea to measure usage patterns, monitor system performance, maintain security protections, and improve the reliability and usability of the Services.

These technologies are commonly used across modern software platforms to support authentication systems, security monitoring, analytics, and other operational capabilities.

ClearSea uses different categories of cookies and similar technologies depending on their intended purpose and function. These categories are described below.

Essential cookies are required for the proper functioning of the Services and are necessary to enable core platform features. These cookies support basic functionality such as user authentication, account login sessions, security verification, and system stability.

Without these cookies, certain parts of the platform may not operate correctly. For example, essential cookies may allow ClearSea to maintain session continuity while a user navigates between pages, verify login credentials during secure transactions, or prevent unauthorized access to user accounts.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide the Services, they cannot be disabled without impairing core platform functionality.

Performance cookies are used to collect information about how users interact with the platform. These cookies help ClearSea understand how visitors navigate the website and applications, which features are used most frequently, and where improvements may be needed.

Information collected through analytics cookies may include pages visited, time spent on particular sections of the platform, links clicked, system response times, and general navigation patterns. This information is typically aggregated and analyzed to improve the design, usability, and performance of the Services.

Analytics data may also help ClearSea detect system errors, identify performance bottlenecks, and understand how users engage with various features across the platform.

Functionality cookies allow the platform to remember certain user preferences and settings in order to provide a more personalized experience. These cookies may store information such as language preferences, interface settings, accessibility configurations, or other customized platform options selected by the user.

By remembering user preferences, these cookies help ensure that users do not need to repeatedly configure the same settings each time they return to the platform.

Security-related cookies are used to maintain the integrity and safety of the platform. These cookies support authentication mechanisms, fraud detection systems, and other security protections designed to prevent unauthorized access or malicious activity.

For example, security cookies may help detect unusual login behavior, verify that requests originate from authenticated sessions, or protect the platform against automated attacks or abuse.

These cookies play an important role in maintaining a safe and secure environment for users interacting with the Services.

ClearSea uses cookies and related technologies to support a variety of operational, technical, and analytical purposes necessary for the effective delivery of the Services.

Cookies may be used to maintain secure login sessions and authenticate users as they access protected areas of the platform. They may also enable the platform to remember user preferences and settings, ensuring that returning users can access the Services without needing to reconfigure their preferences.

In addition, cookies support performance monitoring and analytics activities that help ClearSea understand how the platform is being used. These insights allow ClearSea to improve system reliability, optimize user interface design, and develop new features that enhance the overall user experience.

Cookies may also assist with identifying technical errors or service interruptions and provide information that enables ClearSea to diagnose and resolve operational issues more effectively.

Cookies used on the ClearSea platform may be classified as either first-party cookies or third-party cookies.

First-party cookies are placed directly by ClearSea and are used primarily to support platform functionality, maintain session integrity, and enhance user experience.

Third-party cookies may be placed by service providers that support ClearSea's infrastructure and operations. These providers may include cloud hosting services, analytics tools, performance monitoring services, or other technical partners that assist with operating the platform.

Third-party service providers that process data through cookies on behalf of ClearSea are required to use such data only for purposes related to providing services to ClearSea and must comply with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.

Cookies may remain on a user's device for varying periods of time depending on their purpose.

Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire automatically when a user closes their browser or ends their session on the platform. These cookies are typically used to maintain login sessions and enable navigation between pages during a single visit.

Persistent cookies remain on a user's device for a longer period of time or until they are manually deleted. These cookies allow the platform to recognize returning users and remember previously selected preferences or settings.

The duration of persistent cookies varies depending on their purpose and technical configuration.

Most web browsers provide tools that allow users to control or manage cookies through browser settings. Users may choose to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive notifications when cookies are being placed on their device.

Users who disable or restrict cookies through browser settings may experience reduced functionality when using the Services. Certain essential cookies that support platform operation may continue to function even if other cookies are disabled.

Instructions for managing cookies vary depending on the browser being used. Users should consult their browser documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to manage cookie preferences.

In addition to cookies, ClearSea may use related tracking technologies such as web beacons, embedded scripts, or local storage objects to collect information about how users interact with the platform.

These technologies help measure platform performance, analyze feature usage, detect system errors, and support security protections. Similar to cookies, these technologies generally collect technical information about user interactions rather than directly identifying individuals.

Such technologies are commonly used by modern web platforms to enhance operational performance and maintain reliable digital services.

Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be combined with other information collected through the Services in order to support platform functionality, maintain security protections, and improve system performance.

ClearSea implements technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect data collected through cookies and related technologies from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These safeguards may include encryption protocols, access controls, monitoring systems, and other security practices designed to protect the integrity and confidentiality of information processed by the platform.

ClearSea may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, industry standards, or operational practices. When updates are made, the revised policy will be published with an updated effective date indicating when the changes take effect.

Continued access to or use of the Services after the publication of an updated Cookie Policy constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
