1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to the website’s operators. Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.

We also use similar technologies such as embedded web links and web beacons. These collect standard information your browser sends to our website, such as your browser type and IP address, and information about how you interact with our pages. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies.”

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Cookies on our website fall into two broad groups based on who sets them:

• First-party cookies — set by PortSys directly to operate and improve our website.
• Third-party cookies — set by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers. Information collected by a third-party cookie is governed by the privacy policy of the company that set it.

Our website may also include code that provides specific functionality (sometimes called widgets), which may be provided by third-party companies. Examples include surveys, news feeds, stock quotes, or marketing analytics. Widgets may set their own cookies in order to function properly.

3. Cookie Categories

We group cookies into the following categories. You can accept or reject each optional category through our consent controls; necessary cookies cannot be switched off because the website cannot function properly without them.

4. Specific Cookies

The table below lists examples of cookies used on our website to record your consent preferences. Other cookies may be set by the analytics and third-party services described in the next section.

Cookie names and durations may change as our website and the services we use evolve. For a current, complete inventory, use the consent controls described below.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the site. Information generated about your use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States, and used to evaluate your use of the website and compile reports on website activity. The IP address conveyed within the scope of Google Analytics is not associated with any other data held by Google.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by rejecting the Analytics category in our consent controls.

Other Third Parties

Information collected by any third-party cookie or widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties for details on how they handle your information.

6. Managing Your Preferences

You have several ways to control cookies:

• Consent controls — use the cookie consent banner or preferences link on our website to accept or reject optional cookie categories at any time.
• Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that if you block all cookies, some features of the website may not function properly.
• Opt-out tools — some third parties, such as Google, provide their own opt-out mechanisms, as described above.

Note: the Cookie Settings button opens the consent manager provided by our cookie consent tool. If it does not open, you can manage cookies through your browser settings or the consent banner shown when you first visit our site.

7. Do Not Track

Many web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to the websites you visit that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different from blocking or deleting cookies; browsers with “Do Not Track” enabled may still accept cookies. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals, and our website does not currently respond to them.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
