TradeCorridor uses the data we collect for the following purposes. We use it to operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content. We use it to send you newsletters, editorial updates, and other communications if you have subscribed to our mailing list and consented to receive such communications. We use it to display relevant advertising through Google AdSense and other advertising partners. We use it to analyse website traffic, reader behaviour, and content performance through tools including Google Analytics. We use it to respond to your enquiries, comments, and requests.

We will not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes described in this policy without first obtaining your consent or as required by law.

5. Google AdSense and Advertising

TradeCorridor participates in the Google AdSense advertising programme. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve advertisements to you based on your visits to this website and other websites across the internet. This is known as interest-based or personalised advertising. The advertisements displayed on TradeCorridor are served automatically by Google and are not individually selected by our editorial team.

You have the right to opt out of personalised advertising at any time. You can do this by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at networkadvertising.org. You can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics. Please note that opting out of personalised advertising does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements. You will continue to see generic, non-personalised ads.

TradeCorridor is not responsible for the content of any advertisements served through Google AdSense or any other advertising network. The display of an advertisement on TradeCorridor does not constitute an endorsement of the advertised product, service, or brand.

Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to arriving at our site. We use this information to improve the quality and relevance of our content.

Google Analytics collects only anonymised data and does not collect personally identifiable information.

All such third parties are required to keep your data confidential and to use it only for the specific purposes for which it was shared.
