Effective Date: 1/1/2026

This Cookies Policy (the “Policy”) explains how [Your Company Name] (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our foreign trade website (the “Website”). This Policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers (hereinafter referred to as “you” or “your”) who access or use our Website. By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge and agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, please adjust your browser settings or stop using the Website.

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device (including computers, smartphones, tablets, and other devices used to access the Internet) when you visit the Website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide website owners with valuable information about how visitors interact with their sites. Cookies can remember your device, preferences, and browsing behavior, allowing the Website to recognize you when you return and tailor the experience to your needs.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including web beacons (pixels), HTML5 local storage, and software development kits (SDKs), which function similarly to cookies and help us track user activity and improve our services.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies on our Website, categorized based on their purpose, duration, and provider. These categories include:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Website and cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to access and use core features. They are used to enable basic functions such as page navigation, secure access to restricted areas (e.g., customer accounts, order management), and processing of your orders and transactions. These cookies do not collect personal data beyond what is necessary for the Website to operate and do not require your consent under applicable laws (such as the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive).

Examples include: Cookies that track your session to maintain your login status while using the Website, cookies that enable form submission (e.g., contact forms, order forms), and load balancing cookies that ensure the Website runs smoothly during high traffic periods.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies are not strictly necessary but help improve your browsing experience by remembering your preferences and choices. They allow us to tailor the Website to your needs, such as remembering your language selection, region, or display preferences (e.g., currency, product display settings). These cookies do not track your browsing activity outside our Website and are only used to enhance your experience on our site.

Examples include: Cookies that remember your preferred language (e.g., English, Spanish) for the Website, cookies that store your currency preference (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP) for international trade transactions, and cookies that remember your saved shipping addresses for faster checkout.

2.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect anonymous data about how you use the Website, including which pages you visit, how long you stay on each page, the links you click, and any errors you encounter. This data helps us analyze website performance, identify areas for improvement, and optimize the Website to better meet the needs of our users (including foreign trade customers). The data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally.

We may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to collect this data. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device, and their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy policies.

2.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver personalized marketing content and advertisements to you, both on our Website and on third-party platforms. They help us understand your interests and preferences based on your browsing activity, allowing us to send you relevant information about our foreign trade products, services, promotions, and updates. These cookies may also be used to track the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

We may share data collected by these cookies with third-party advertising partners (e.g., social media platforms, ad networks) to deliver targeted ads. You can opt out of these cookies at any time (see Section 4 below).

2.5 Third-Party Cookies

In addition to cookies set by us (first-party cookies), third-party service providers (such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and payment processors) may set cookies on your device when you use our Website. These third parties use cookies to provide their services to us, and their use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies. We do not control these third-party cookies and are not responsible for their practices.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes, which are essential to providing you with a high-quality, secure, and personalized experience on our外贸 (foreign trade) Website:

• To ensure the Website functions properly: Strictly necessary cookies enable core features such as secure login, order processing, and page navigation, which are critical for foreign trade activities (e.g., placing orders, checking shipment status).
• To enhance user experience: Functional cookies remember your preferences (e.g., language, currency, shipping address), saving you time and providing a more tailored experience for international trade.
• To improve the Website: Analytics cookies help us identify issues with the Website (e.g., slow-loading pages, broken links) and make improvements to better serve our foreign trade customers.
• To deliver relevant marketing: Marketing cookies allow us to send you personalized information about our products, services, and promotions that are relevant to your foreign trade needs, helping you find the products or solutions you are looking for.
• To ensure security: Some cookies help detect and prevent fraudulent activities (e.g., repeated failed login attempts), protecting your account and our business from security risks.

4.3 Deleting Cookies

You can delete existing cookies from your device through your browser settings. Deleting cookies will remove any preferences or login information stored on your device, and you may need to re-enter this information when you next visit the Website.

5. Cookie Retention Period

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its type:

• Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session during a single visit to the Website (e.g., to keep you logged in while browsing).
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period (e.g., 30 days, 6 months, or 1 year) or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and browsing behavior across multiple visits to the Website.

We retain cookies only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which they were set. For example, analytics cookies may be retained for up to 12 months to help us analyze long-term website performance, while functional cookies may be retained for as long as needed to remember your preferences.

6. Compliance with Applicable Laws

We comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing the use of cookies, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, the ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)/California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) in the United States, and other relevant international privacy laws. This means:

• We obtain your explicit consent before setting non-strictly necessary cookies (e.g., functional, analytics, marketing cookies).
• We provide clear and transparent information about the cookies we use, their purpose, and how you can manage them.
• We do not use “cookie walls” that block access to the Website unless you accept all cookies; you can access core features without consenting to non-essential cookies.
• We allow you to withdraw your consent at any time, and the process to withdraw consent is as easy as the process to give consent.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie practices, new technologies, or applicable laws. When we make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this Policy and notify you by displaying a notice on the Website (e.g., through the cookie consent banner) or by sending you an email (if you have provided your contact information).

We encourage you to review this Policy regularly to stay informed about how we use cookies.
