1 What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser when visiting websites. They are widely implemented across enterprise logistics networks to ensure platforms function efficiently, securely store user session preferences, and provide operational insight to site administrators.
Throughout this policy, references to "cookies" also encompass related browser storage technologies, including local storage keys used to prevent repetitive modal displays and cache form progress.
2 How We Use Cookies
CINA LOGISTICS uses cookies strictly to support cargo forwarding operations, calculate real-time trade estimations, and preserve client communication states. We classify cookies into the following operational groups:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for platform security, form submissions, multi-file attachment queues, and preventing cross-site request forgery during cargo quote dispatches.
- Functional & Preference Cookies: Retain selected language choices (such as English, Spanish, Arabic, or German) and suppress promotional prompts once acknowledged.
- Performance & Operational Analytics: Measure server load, response latency, and general page stability to maintain uninterrupted 24/7 quote gateway availability.
