Where required by law, such as in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can change your choices at any time through our cookie settings. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.

We use, or may use, Google AdSense to show advertisements on Cab & Cargo.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to this website and/or other websites on the internet.

To learn how Google uses information from websites like ours, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are read most and how people arrive at them. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information like your IP address, device details and pages visited. We use this information in aggregate to improve our content, not to identify you.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Affiliate links

Some articles may contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the partner may use cookies to record that you came from our website, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The partner’s own privacy policy applies to anything you do on their website. Full details are in our Affiliate Disclosure.

Embedded content and external links

Articles may include embedded content, such as videos or maps, from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with it.

Our articles also link to external websites, such as manufacturers, industry associations and government sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, so please read their privacy policies.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these situations:

• Service providers who help us run the website, such as our web hosting, email, security and analytics providers. They may only use the information to provide services to us.
• Advertising partners, such as Google, as described in the Advertising section.
• Legal reasons, when required by law, court order or government request, or to protect our rights, users or the public.
• Business changes, if the website or our company is merged, sold or transferred, in which case this policy continues to protect your information.

Under some US state privacy laws, allowing advertising partners to use cookies for personalized advertising may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising”. You can opt out of this at any time using the options in the Advertising and Your privacy rights sections.

International transfers

We are based in India, and our service providers and partners, including Google, may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required by law, these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.

Data retention

We keep emails you send us only as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping, then delete them. Comments are kept for as long as they remain published. Analytics and advertising data are kept according to the retention settings of Google and our other partners. We keep information longer only where the law requires it.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and restricted access to our email accounts and website systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
• Delete your personal information
• Object to or restrict how we use your information
• Receive a copy of your information in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising
• Nominate another person to exercise your rights, where the law allows
• Complain to your local data protection authority

These rights apply under laws such as the EU and UK GDPR, India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and US state laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act.

To use any of these rights, email contact@cabandcargo.com with the subject “Privacy request”. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on your request. We will not treat you differently for using your privacy rights.

Children’s privacy

Cab & Cargo is written for adults working with machinery and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13, or under the age of digital consent where they live (18 in India). If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email contact@cabandcargo.com and we will delete it.

Do Not Track and privacy signals

There is no agreed standard for responding to browser “Do Not Track” signals, so our website does not respond to them. Where required by law, we treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our practices or the law change. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we may also add a notice on the website.
