(ii) Cookies. The Site uses a technology called "cookies" to help facilitate transactions on the Site. A cookie is an element of software code that www.subsea.systems Sites can send to your browser, which is then stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return.

(iv) Browser Do Not Track Signals. Although our websites currently do not have a mechanism to recognize the various web browser Do Not Track signals, we do offer our customers choices to manage their preferences by referencing the "How to Contact www.subsea.systems" Section (Section 16) of this Privacy and Security Statement.

For full terms and conditions regarding User Content you submit, please review our Terms of Use.
5. Interest-Based Advertising
We may use your Personal Data to help us decide which products, services and offers may be of interest to you.
We use third party analytics and social media providers to collect information about your use of the Site, see the overall patterns of usage on the Site, deliver advertisements to your social media account based on email addresses, optimize ad performance, and to determine whether our advertising is effective. We use analytics tools and other third party technologies, including cookies, to collect Personal Information and Non-Personal Information in the form of various usage and user metrics when you use our Site. These tools and technologies collect and analyze certain types of information, including cookies, IP addresses, device and software identifiers, referring and exit URLs, onsite behavior and usage information, feature use metrics and statistics, usage and purchase history, MAC Address, mobile unique device ID, and other similar information.
The third party analytics companies (like Google and IBM) who collect information on our Site and other online products and/or sites may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other websites and/or other online or mobile products relating to your activities across their network of websites. Many of these companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies.
In addition to our use of technologies as described herein, we may permit certain third party companies, including online ad networks such as Google and Conversant, to help us tailor advertising that we think may be of interest to you based on your use of our Services and to otherwise collect and use data about your use of our Services. These networks track your online activities over time and across third party websites and online services by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of the technologies described in the “Information We Collect When You Use the Site” Section above, and they use this information to show you advertisements that are tailored to your individual interests. This collection and ad targeting takes place both on our Site and on third-party websites that participate in the ad network. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
Opting out of analytics: You may opt out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out page https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Google has additional information available about their Remarketing Privacy Guidelines, and Restrictions. You may learn more at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
Opting out of Conversant:
You may view a list of other third party service providers who collect information, and/or opt-out of such collection of information about you, by visiting http:// www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ or http:// www.aboutads.info/choices/.
Please note that opting out of receiving targeted ads will not prevent you from being served advertisements generally; rather, opting out means that the online ads presented will not be based on your particular interests.
We currently do not respond to Do Not Track Signals. Some third parties, such as companies that offer Internet browsers, have developed signals (e.g., browser do not track signals) that give you a choice regarding the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms offered by Internet browsers. If you would like more information on self-regulatory programs that permit you to exercise choice, click on the ad networks link in the paragraph above.

We are not responsible for the data collection and privacy practices employed by any of these third parties.

The inclusion of any link does not imply Chris’s endorsement of any other company, its websites, or its products and/or services.
