This policy explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies, what each type is for, and how you can control them.
It applies to bluehavenmaritime.digital, operated by Bluehaven Maritime Services BV, registered in Belgium.
At a glance
The sections below explain what cookies are, which categories this site uses, how third parties fit in, and what you can do about each one. Read it in order, or jump to the part you need.
Definition
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device and reads on later visits. Cookies let a site remember information between page loads, such as your preferences, or measure how pages are used.
Similar technologies, including local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy. Where this policy says “cookies”, it means cookies and those comparable technologies together.
The register
This site uses a small number of cookies. The ledger below lists each category, what it does, and whether you can switch it off.
| Category | What it does | Control |
|---|---|---|
|
Strictly necessary
Core function
Security, session handling, form submission. |
Required for the site to work and to keep a form submission secure. They support security and session handling, and do not store information that identifies you for advertising. | Always on Cannot be switched off here |
|
Preference
Remembered choices
Remembers choices such as a language setting. |
Remember choices you make, such as a language setting, where such a setting is offered. Without them the site would reset those choices on each visit. | Optional Removable via your browser |
|
Analytics
Aggregated use
Aggregated page-visit data, country level. |
If present and enabled, record aggregated information about which pages are visited so that we can improve the content. They are not used to build a personal profile or to target advertising elsewhere. | Optional Consent requested first |
This is a small set on purpose. The site does not run advertising trackers, cross-site profiling, or social media pixels, and no third party is permitted to place an advertising cookie here.
In more detail
Two categories deserve a fuller explanation, because they are the ones a visitor is most likely to ask about: the cookies the site cannot run without, and the ones that measure how the content is read.
Cannot be switched off
These are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off through the site itself. They support core functions such as security, session handling, and form submission.
They do not store information that identifies you for advertising purposes. Disabling them in your browser can stop the contact form from submitting, so leave them on if you intend to write to us through the site.
Aggregated only
Where analytics are in use, they collect aggregated data about page visits, referring pages, and general location at country level. They are used to understand which content is useful.
They are not used to build a personal profile or to target advertising on other sites. Where a visitor declines them, the site continues to work without them.

Some cookies may be set by services that operate on our behalf, such as a hosting provider or an email delivery service used for contact form notifications.
We do not permit third-party advertising cookies on this site. Where a third-party service sets a cookie, its own policy applies in addition to this one.
Who may set a cookie here
Your controls
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies already stored. Instructions are available in your browser's help section.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site, including the contact form, from working correctly.
Consent
Where consent is required for a cookie, it is requested before that cookie is set, and you can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or clearing stored cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of legitimate interest in operating a functioning, secure website.
What each browser lets you do
Versioning
We may update this policy when the cookies we use change or when the law requires it. The current version is published on this page at all times, so returning here is always the way to read the version in force.
When an update changes what a cookie does, or adds a category that was not in the ledger above, the change is written into that ledger in the same edit.
