This Cookie and Online Advertising Statement explains how Container Mill, LLC (collectively “Container Mill, LLC”, "we", "us", and "ours") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit www.containermill.com website owned, operated or controlled by us that posts a link to this Cookie Statement ("Websites"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. This Cookie Statement is and will be treated as part of our Terms of Access and is automatically incorporated therein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Cookie Statement have the meanings given to those terms in our Privacy Policy.

In some cases, we may use cookies and other tracking technologies described in this Cookie Statement to collect personally identifiable information, or to collect information that becomes personally identifiable information if we combine it with other information. For more information about how we process your personally identifiable information on our Websites, please consult our Privacy Policy.  Container Mill, LLC also responds to Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) opt out of sale requests. If you enable the GPC, your browser will be opted-out of many of the technologies described below. To learn more about the GPC signal, please see here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org. 

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first -party cookies. We also use third -party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes.

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect 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.

These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

Under the CPRA, you have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information to third parties. These cookies collect information for analytics and to personalize your experience with targeted ads. You may exercise your right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information by using this toggle switch. If you opt out we will not be able to offer you personalized ads and will not hand over your personal information to any third parties. If you have enabled privacy controls on your browser (such as a plugin), we have to take that as a valid request to opt-out. Therefore, we would not be able to track your activity through the web. This may affect our ability to personalize ads according to your preferences.

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

We may work with third parties who place cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites or on other websites you visit. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies, pixel tags or other technologies on our Websites and other websites to collect information about your visits to this and other sites (such as web pages you visit and your interaction with our advertising and other communications) in order to make predictions about your preferences provide more relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you on our Websites and other websites you visit. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these. To opt-out of this form of targeted advertising, also called interest-based or online behavioral advertising, please see the information above about the GPC and the opt-out information in the Cookie & Privacy Preference Center. 

Please note that even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes including analytics and you will still see ads from us, but the ads will not be targeted based on behavioral information about you and may therefore be less relevant to you and your interests. To successfully opt-out, you must have cookies enabled in your web browser. Please see your browser’s instructions for information on cookies and how to enable them. Your opt-out only applies to the web browser you use so you must opt-out of each web browser on each device that you use. Once you opt out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you may need to opt-out again.

If a user elects to use certain services or products through our Websites, the use of those services or products may permit or require additional cookies or tracking technologies to be employed, such as any online customer service chat option. Typically, these customer service chat options use cookies to quickly confirm your identity and are used solely with the purpose of personalizing a particular user. Users who remove cookies from their storage media or have not accepted them on their browser may not have access to the services rendered by the online customer service chat feature. To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading "How can I control cookies?"

As a part of the technology described above, we may offer information and support though a chat feature (which we may launch through a third-party vendor). We collect information you enter into the chat box. We may also collect and retain transcripts of those conversations for product improvement. Additionally, your browser may automatically transmit the following data: date and time of access, duration of the visit to our online offer, type of browser including version, operating system used, amount of data sent, type of event, and IP address. Your chats may be processed and stored by our vendor (if any).

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the Cookie & Privacy Preference Center.

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Websites though your access to some functionality and areas of our Websites may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

We may update this Cookie Statement from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Statement regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
