Cookies Policy

updated: March 1, 2025

This Cookies Policy describes how Northland Tow & Recovery LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at www.nltowrecovery.com (the “Site”). It also explains how you can manage or disable these technologies. By using our Site, you consent to the use of cookies as explained in this Policy, unless you disable them via your browser or other tools. This Cookies Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which further details how we collect, handle, and protect personal information.

 

1.    WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

a.    Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device by the Site when you visit. They help websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide site owners with data insights.

b.    First-Party Cookies are set directly by the Site owner (Northland Tow & Recovery LLC).

c.    Third-Party Cookies are set by external services, such as analytics or embedded features.

d.    Other Technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels, and local storage) can track user behavior, store preferences, or detect usage patterns. In this Policy, references to “cookies” include these similar technologies.

 

2.    HOW WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies and related technologies for the following purposes:

a.    Essential Functionality

Some cookies are strictly necessary for our Site to operate. For example, they may:

               i.         Maintain sessions or store preferences as you navigate between pages.

              ii.         Enable security measures (e.g., preventing cross-site request forgery).

Without these cookies, the Site’s core features may not work correctly, so they are typically enabled by default.

b.    Performance and Analytics

We may deploy analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to gather aggregated data about how visitors interact with our Site. For example:

               i.         Which pages are visited, how long users stay, and any error messages encountered.

              ii.         The sources of traffic (search engines, referral sites).

This helps us monitor performance, track trends, fix issues, and enhance user experience. Typically, the collected data does not directly identify individual visitors.

c.    Functional/Preference Cookies

               i.         If our Site offers functional features (e.g., saving certain settings like language preference or form details), we may use cookies to remember these choices.

              ii.         This avoids re-entering information on subsequent visits. Currently, our Site uses minimal functional cookies if any.

d.    Security and Fraud Prevention

Cookies can help detect malicious activity, protect account sign-ins (if applicable), or throttle excessive requests. While we don’t currently offer public logins, we still use cookies to maintain a secure and stable environment for delivering our Site content.

e.    No Advertising or Sensitive Data Collection

As of this Effective Date, we do not use cookies for advertising or to collect sensitive personal data. We also do not allow third-party advertisers to set tracking cookies through our Site.

 

3.    TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

Below are the general categories of cookies on our Site:

a.    Strictly Necessary Cookies

               i.         Essential for basic Site functions like navigation and form submissions.

              ii.         Typically set to “always on” because the Site cannot function properly without them.

b.    Analytics/Performance Cookies

               i.         Collect aggregated data on usage, traffic sources, or Site errors.

              ii.         Example: Google Analytics sets cookies to help us understand how visitors use our Site. Data is transmitted to Google’s servers, potentially located globally. Google’s documentation and privacy resources explain how these cookies function and how to opt out.

c.    Functional Cookies

               i.         Enable enhanced features by storing user selections (e.g., remember user info in a contact form or store site preferences).

              ii.         Usage is minimal on our Site, but may be introduced or expanded over time to improve user convenience.

d.    Third-Party Cookies

Currently limited. We mainly have third-party cookies. If we embed or integrate services like Google Maps, YouTube, or social media feeds, additional cookies may be set by those platforms. We will update this Policy if we introduce new third-party integrations that significantly affect cookie usage.

We strive to minimize the number of cookies and trackers, focusing only on those essential for operation and analytics. If we adopt any new cookies or trackers that collect personal data, we will update this Policy and seek any required consent.

 

4.    YOUR COOKIE CHOICES AND CONTROLS

a.    Browser Settings

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Methods vary, but typically you can find cookie controls in your browser’s Settings or Preferences under “Privacy” or “Cookies.”

For example:

§  Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.

§  Safari: Preferences > Privacy.

§  Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security.

Note: If you disable all cookies, certain Site features or pages may not function correctly. We recommend allowing at least essential/necessary cookies.

b.    Third-Party Cookie Opt-Outs

If we introduce additional third-party cookies (e.g., for advertising), those parties might offer their own opt-out mechanisms. At present, we do not use advertising cookies, so this primarily applies to analytics or potential future services.

c.    Do Not Track (DNT)

Our Site does not currently respond to browser DNT signals, as no universal standard exists for interpreting them. You can still control cookies via your browser settings.

Important: Cookie adjustments apply only to the specific browser and device on which you make the changes. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you need to manage cookies on each. Clearing all cookies in your browser might reset any preferences you set on our Site (including opting out of certain cookies).

 

5.    CHANGES TO THIS COOKIES POLICY

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time (for example, if we introduce new cookies, change their purpose, or need to comply with new legal requirements). The Effective Date at the top indicates the last revision date. If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice (e.g., a banner on our Site or a prompt to acknowledge the updated policy).

We encourage you to periodically review this Cookies Policy so you remain informed about our cookie usage. By continuing to use the Site after updates are posted, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Policy.
