(“EliteCard“, “we”, “us” and “our”) uses cookies and other tracking technologies to recognize you when you visit WeBoating.com (the “Website“) or our other web properties. It also covers the types of cookies we use and how to control them.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Economic Area and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for users in California. Our practices align with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada.

2. What are scripts?

A script is a piece of program code that is used to make our website function properly and interactively. This code can be executed on our server or on your device, often working in conjunction with cookies to enable dynamic content and data collection.

3. What is a web beacon?

A web beacon (also known as a pixel tag or clear GIF) is a small, invisible piece of text or image embedded on a website or in an email. Web beacons are used to monitor user activity, such as traffic on a website or whether an email has been opened, often in conjunction with cookies to collect various data about your interactions.

4. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or device when you visit certain websites. These files are used to store a small amount of data, often consisting of a string of numbers and letters that uniquely identify your computer, and can contain other information as well. Cookies enhance your Browse experience by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language settings, or product selections). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or navigate between pages.

Cookies set by our own website are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by websites or domains that do not belong to us are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, or analytics services). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites that use their services.

Cookies vary by the length of time they remain active on your system, such as “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until they are manually deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and typically expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device, unless you delete them earlier. For further details on managing and removing cookies, please refer to the section titled “How to control cookies?” which includes information on removing them before they expire.

5. How do we use cookies?

We use first-party cookies to ensure our website functions properly and efficiently, enhance its security, enable its features, and gather reporting information to understand website performance and identify areas for improvement. Cookies also provide us with valuable insights into how people use the website, such as whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are frequent visitors.

The third-party cookies utilized on our websites primarily serve to help us understand website performance, analyze user interactions, maintain service security, provide relevant advertisements, and generally enhance the user experience and speed up interactions with our website.

We leverage cookies and similar technologies to store and respect your preferences and settings, enable secure sign-ins, deliver interest-based advertising, combat fraud, analyze product performance, and fulfill other legitimate purposes as further detailed in this policy.

5.1. Storing your preferences and settings

We use cookies to store your preferences and settings on your device, enhancing your experience. For example, if you enter your city or postal code to get local data on a website, we store that data in a cookie (depending on your settings) so that you will see the relevant local information when you return to the site. Saving your preferences with cookies, such as your preferred language, prevents you from having to set your preferences repeatedly. If you opt out of interest-based advertising, we store your opt-out preference in a cookie on your device.

5.2. Sign-in and authentication

We use cookies to authenticate you. When you sign in to a website using your personal account, we store a unique ID number and the time you signed in, in an encrypted cookie on your device. This cookie allows you to move from page to page within the site without having to sign in again on each page. You can also save your sign-in information so you do not have to sign in each time you return to the site.

5.3. Security

We use cookies to process information that helps us secure our products, as well as detect fraud and abuse.

5.4. Storing information you provide to a website

We use cookies to remember information you have provided. For instance, when you add products to a shopping cart, we store this data in a cookie to remember and process the items in your cart.

5.5. Social media

Some of our pages include social media cookies, including those that enable users who are signed in to the social media service to share content via that service.

5.6. Feedback

Cookies are used on our website to facilitate the provision of feedback, allowing us to gather your input and improve our services.

5.7. Interest-based advertising

We utilize cookies to collect data about your online activity and identify your interests so that we can provide advertising that is most relevant to you. You can opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from us as described in the “How to control cookies?” section of this Policy.

5.8. Showing advertising

We use cookies to record how many visitors have clicked on an advertisement and to record which advertisements you have seen, for example, so you don’t see the same one repeatedly.

5.9. Analytics

We use first-party and third-party cookies and other identifiers to gather usage and performance data. For example, we use cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf to develop other statistics about the operations of our products.

5.10. Performance

Cookies are utilized on our website to analyze and enhance the performance of our website. For example, we might use cookies to gather data that helps with load balancing, ensuring that our website remains consistently available and responsive.

6. Third parties

In addition to the cookies we set when you visit our websites, third parties can also set their own cookies. When this occurs, the details of these cookies will generally be provided in their specific cookie notices or privacy policies. You may be asked for your agreement to store these cookies, depending on their purpose and applicable regulations. For example:

• Companies we hire to provide services on our behalf, such as site analytics or advertising, may place cookies when you visit our sites.
• Companies that deliver content, such as videos or news, or advertisements on our sites, may place cookies independently. These companies use the data they process in accordance with their own privacy policies, which may enable them to collect and combine information about your activities across various websites, applications, or online services.

We engage in agreements regarding the use of cookies with other companies that place them on our site. While we strive to partner with reputable third-party service providers, we do not control the independent data handling practices of these external parties, and therefore cannot guarantee their specific processing. Parties such as Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn, among others, often act as independent data controllers for the data they collect through their cookies. We strongly recommend that you read the privacy statements of these respective companies to understand their practices.

7. What types of cookies do we use?

We use a variety of cookies on our website, broadly categorized as technical or functional, statistics or performance, marketing/advertising/tracking, and social media/content cookies.

7.1. Technical or Functional cookies

Technical or functional cookies are essential for the basic functionality of the website. They are necessary for general web administration, session identification, website security, and presenting optimized content based on your devices. They also improve the general usability of the website, enabling features such as logging in to your account, adding products to your shopping cart, and checking out securely.

These cookies are crucial for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. While you can configure your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, please note that some parts of the site may not work properly if you do so.

It’s important to mention that these cookies do not store any personally identifiable information directly related to your identity.

We may place these cookies without your explicit consent as they are strictly necessary for providing our service.

7.2. Statistics or Performance cookies

We utilize statistics cookies to optimize the website experience for our users and gain insights into its usage, such as the number of website visitors, unique visitors, visited pages, and traffic sources.

These cookies enable us to measure and enhance site performance by identifying the most and least popular pages and tracking visitor movement. This data aids us in understanding and analyzing website performance for continuous improvement.

All collected data is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Disabling these cookies hampers our ability to monitor site visits and performance effectively.

We ask for your permission to place statistics cookies.

7.3. Marketing, Advertising, and Tracking cookies

On this website, we use marketing, advertising, and tracking cookies to personalize the advertisements we show to you, ensuring they are meaningful and relevant. These cookies also allow us (and third parties) to gain insights into the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. This is achieved by creating a profile based on your click behavior and Browse activity both on and outside our Website.

These cookies link you, as a website visitor, to a unique ID, for example, to ensure you do not see the same advertisement repeatedly. The information stored in these cookies may also be used by third-party ad providers to show you ads on other websites you visit.

Because these cookies are used for tracking and marketing purposes, we ask for your explicit permission to place them.

7.4. Social Media and Content

On our website, we have included content from various social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Disqus, and Pinterest. This content is embedded with code provided by these platforms, enabling features like promoting web pages (e.g., “like”, “pin”) or sharing content (e.g., “tweet”) on their respective social networks.

When you interact with this embedded content or if you are logged into these social media services, these third-party platforms may place their own cookies. These cookies may store and process certain information for purposes such as personalized advertising or tracking your interactions with their services. Please read the privacy statements of these social networks (which can change regularly) to understand what they do with your personal data that they process using these cookies. The data that is retrieved by us is anonymized as much as possible. Many of these platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Disqus, and Pinterest, are based in the United States, and data transfers may occur in accordance with their privacy policies.
