Effective date: January 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Intermodal Insider uses cookies and similar technologies on the Site.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function, improve performance, remember preferences, and understand how users interact with content.
We may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, SDKs, and local storage, which serve related purposes.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- Make the Site work reliably (security, load balancing, basic functionality)
- Understand Site usage and improve content (analytics)
- Remember preferences (where enabled)
- Prevent spam and abuse
We do not place text inside images, do not use cookies to read personal files on your device, and we do not attempt to identify you by name unless you provide it (e.g., newsletter signup).
3. Categories of cookies we may use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for basic Site operation and security. Without them, the Site may not function properly.
Examples:
- Security and anti-fraud mechanisms
- Load balancing and session management
- Consent storage (remembering your cookie choices)
3.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site (pages visited, time on page, navigation patterns) so we can improve content, structure, and performance.
We may use tools such as Yandex Metrica and services that support search performance measurement such as Google Search Console.
Analytics cookies may collect:
- IP address (often in truncated or masked form depending on configuration)
- Device/browser identifiers
- Behavioral events (clicks, scroll depth, navigation)
3.3 Functional cookies (optional)
These cookies remember preferences and settings to improve your experience (for example, language or display preferences) if we enable them.
3.4 Advertising / targeting cookies (if ever enabled)
If Intermodal Insider ever runs advertising or retargeting campaigns, we may use advertising cookies to measure campaigns and show more relevant ads. If we do not run advertising cookies, we will either not use this category or will disable it by default. If enabled in the future, we will update this policy and provide appropriate consent controls where required.
4. Cookie choices and consent
Depending on your location, we may present a cookie banner or preference center that allows you to:
- Accept or reject non-essential cookies
- Change preferences later
Even without a preference center, you can manage cookies through your browser settings (see Section 5).
5. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to:
- See which cookies are stored and delete them
- Block third-party cookies
- Block all cookies (note: some site features may break)
If you block cookies entirely, certain parts of the Site may not work properly.
6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use (for example analytics providers). These third parties may process data according to their own policies. If you want more information, review the privacy/cookie policies of those providers.
7. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We will update the effective date and post the revised policy on this page.
