This Cookie Policy explains how milebourne.com, the website of Milebourne, uses cookies and similar technologies. Milebourne is a recruitment and executive search firm serving the transportation, supply chain, and logistics sectors in the United States, and this website is a central part of how we share information and connect with visitors. This policy sets out what cookies are, whether this website uses them today, what would change if it did, and how you can control cookies through your browser settings.

Today the website sets no cookies of its own. It does not use advertising or marketing tracking, and it does not run analytics. If we add an analytics tool in the future, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent through a consent notice before any analytics cookie is set. Nothing in this policy authorizes data collection beyond what is described here, and no cookie can give a website access to files, contacts, or other content stored on your device. If you want a quick answer to a specific question, the sections below are organized so you can go directly to the part that is relevant to you.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your device when you visit it. On later visits, the website can read that file to recognize your device or remember something about your previous activity, such as a setting you chose or a consent decision you made. Cookies are a standard part of how websites operate. They allow pages to load consistently, keep secure areas protected, and give site owners a general picture of how their content is used.

Cookies differ in how long they last. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them yourself. Cookies also differ in who sets them. First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting, while third-party cookies may be set by other providers whose tools or services are embedded in the page, such as an analytics provider. In both cases, a cookie is a passive file. It cannot run programs, install software, or scan your device.

Related technologies serve similar purposes. Local storage, for example, allows a website to keep a small amount of data in your browser without an expiry date, and it is often used to remember settings or preferences. Pixels and similar tags can record that a page was loaded. Where this policy refers to cookies, the same principles apply to local storage and comparable technologies used for the same functions.

How this website uses cookies

This website does not currently set any cookies. It does not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or building marketing profiles, and we do not sell cookie data to third parties. The categories below explain the two purposes for which a website like ours could use cookies, so you know what any future change would involve.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are the kind a website sets to support core operations such as page loading, navigation, security, or remembering a cookie consent choice. This website does not currently need any: its pages, navigation, and contact forms work without setting a cookie, and the forms send their details to our team by email. If a future feature requires a strictly necessary cookie, this policy will say so.

Analytics cookies (with your consent)

Analytics cookies help a website owner understand how visitors find and use the site, including which pages are viewed, how long visits last, and how people move between pages. Such information is reviewed in aggregate, meaning overall patterns rather than the activity of any single person, to judge whether content is easy to find, whether pages perform well, and where a site could be clearer or faster.

This website does not currently use analytics cookies, and no analytics tracking takes place. If we add an analytics tool, its cookies will be placed on your device only if you accept them through a consent notice, the website will work exactly the same if you decline, and we will not use analytics data to identify individual visitors or combine it with recruitment, client, or candidate information held by Milebourne.

The cookies we use

Today this website sets no cookies. Cookie names and durations change as websites and their underlying tools are updated, so rather than a fixed table of file names, the categories below describe by purpose and typical lifespan the cookies this website would use if they were introduced. Where a tool is provided by third parties, the exact cookies it sets may vary over time, so we describe their function here and do not name specific vendors.

Necessary cookies

These would support essential website function, such as security, load balancing, or storing a cookie consent decision so a notice does not reappear on every page. They are typically session cookies, deleted when you close your browser, or short-lived persistent cookies. They do not gather information for marketing or analytics purposes, and none is set by this website today.

Analytics cookies

If introduced, and only with your consent, these would collect usage data such as page views, session duration, approximate location at country or regional level, and general navigation patterns. On many websites, analytics tools remember a returning visitor or keep a session active in a way similar to how an e-commerce site keeps a shopping cart intact while you browse. Here the purpose would be measurement of website usage in aggregate, without identifying individuals. These cookies are usually persistent and expire after a defined period set by the analytics tool. None is set by this website today.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies or local storage entries remember choices a visitor makes on a site, such as display or regional preferences, so the experience stays consistent between visits. This website does not currently store any. If it did, they would be limited in scope, not used to profile you, and never used to track your activity across other websites.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, independently of the consent choices you make on this website. Most browsers let you view which cookies are stored, delete some or all of them, block cookies from specific sites, block third-party cookies only, or block all cookies by default. Many browsers also offer a private or incognito mode that clears cookies when the window is closed. The exact steps differ by browser and device, and your browser's help section provides current instructions for the version you are using.

If a consent notice is introduced in the future, you will be able to withdraw consent at any time, as easily as it was given: clearing cookies for this website in your browser removes the record of your earlier choice, so the notice appears again on your next visit and you can make a different decision.

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may affect how other websites function, because features that depend on stored preferences, and some security-related functions, may not work correctly if cookies are disabled entirely. Because this website sets no cookies of its own, blocking cookies has no effect on how it works for you.

Privacy and data protection

Any cookie data would be handled in line with our broader approach to privacy. If analytics data were collected through this website, it would be used in aggregate to understand website usage, never to make decisions about any individual, and where cookie-related processing involved third parties, such as an analytics provider, those parties would act under contractual terms governing how the data is handled, how long it is kept, and how it is protected.

If a cookie-related privacy question or concern arises, for example about how data was collected during your visit or about a request relating to information linked to it, you can contact us using the details below and we will look into it. We treat privacy inquiries seriously and aim to respond promptly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies the website uses, in applicable law, or in how the site operates. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy applies from the point it is published. Where a change introduces cookies that require consent, we will add or refresh a consent notice so you can make your choice before they are set. We encourage you to review the policy periodically so you stay informed about how cookies are used on milebourne.com.

Questions about this policy, about the cookies this website uses, or about a privacy or data concern connected to your visit can be sent to us at any time, and we will respond as quickly as we can.
