Legal document
This policy explains how this website, operated by Pacific Ocean Shipping & Solutions, uses cookies and similar technologies. It covers the cookies that keep the site working, the optional ones, and the choices you have in your own browser.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. Some are necessary for the site to function; others are optional.
A cookie does not run programs on your device and does not give us access to your files. It carries a small piece of information that your browser sends back to the site on your next visit, which is why a form you started or a setting you chose can still be there when you return. Cookies on this site fall into two broad groups: those the site needs in order to work, and those that are optional and depend on your choice.
We use necessary cookies to keep the site working and to remember your cookie preferences. Where analytics are in use, they help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We do not use cookies for advertising on this site.
The two lanes below describe what is active on this site depending on the choice you make when you first arrive.
If you decline optional cookies, the pages still load and the forms still send. Only the cookies that keep the site and your preferences working are set.
If you accept optional cookies, analytics may also run. They report aggregated figures about which pages are read, so we can decide what to improve or remove.
These cookies are required for the site to operate and cannot be switched off through the site. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or setting your privacy preferences.
If analytics cookies are active, they collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site. This data does not identify you personally. You can refuse these cookies without affecting your ability to use the site.
What we read in those figures is practical: which service pages freight forwarders and importers open first, where visitors leave a long page, and whether the contact details are found quickly. The numbers describe visits, not people. We do not use them to target advertising, and we do not sell them.
Decline optional cookies when the notice appears, or change your choice later. Refusing analytics does not limit the pages you can open, the information you can read, or your ability to send an enquiry about a shipment.
Browser-level blocking also works, and it covers this site and others at the same time. You will find the steps in the next section.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, and to alert you when a cookie is set. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how the site works.
Step 1
Cookie controls sit in the privacy or security section of most browsers, usually a few clicks from the main menu.
Step 2
Your browser lists the cookies already saved from the sites you visit. You can delete individual entries or clear the whole list.
Step 3
Most browsers let you block third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones. That setting is usually the practical middle ground.
Step 4
If you block necessary cookies, some parts of the site may behave differently, and your cookie choice may not be remembered on the next visit.
If the site embeds content or tools from third parties, those providers may set their own cookies. We do not control those cookies. Check the relevant provider's policy for details.
That situation only arises where a page carries embedded content, such as a video or an external service used to display information. Where nothing is embedded, no third-party cookies are set by that page. When you contact a provider directly, their own privacy terms apply to what they record.
We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. The current version is always available on this page.
If a change affects what is stored on your device or how it is used, the wording here is revised and the review date at the top of this page is updated at the same time. Continuing to use the site after an update means the revised policy applies.
Cookie questions are handled by the same team that answers shipment enquiries. Write to us, or call during office hours, and say which page or browser you are asking about.
No. Necessary cookies keep the site working, and optional ones depend on your choice. If you decline the optional set, you can still read every page and send an enquiry about a shipment through the contact page.
No. Cookies on this website do not take part in freight bookings, customs paperwork or warehouse handling. They only relate to how the website itself behaves in your browser.
Yes. Clear the cookies stored by this site in your browser, then reload a page: the notice appears again and you can pick a different answer. You can also block cookies at browser level, which takes effect on your next visit.
Cookies are only one part of how data is handled. The Privacy Policy explains what happens to information you send us, how long it is kept, and how to ask about it.
Write to [email protected] or call +32 9 981 59 03 during office hours. The office is at Raveschoot 22, 9080 Lochristi, Belgium. For anything about a booking, the Contact page is the quicker route.
Cookie questions go to the same team that handles freight and customs enquiries for importers and exporters moving cargo through Belgian ports and the European hinterland. If something here is unclear, tell us which page and which browser you were using, and we will explain how the site behaved.
For data handling beyond cookies, read the Privacy Policy. For the rules that apply when you use this website, read the Terms of Service.
