Cookie policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember information between pages or visits, such as the language you chose.

This policy explains which cookies https://off-shore.net and https://www.off-shore.net use, why we use them and how you can control them. The sites are operated by Off-Shore.net, a service of Euro Commerce LLC.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to operate the site and to remember your language and your cookie choice. With your consent, we also use cookies to measure traffic: how many people visit, which pages they read and whether an enquiry was sent. We use this to improve the content.

We do not sell data collected through cookies. We do not use advertising cookies or social media cookies.

This policy covers the Off-Shore.net website. The pages under off-shore.net/offshore-company-formation/ are a separate site with their own settings and cookies.

3. Your consent and how to change it

On your first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. The Accept and Reject buttons are equally visible. Until you choose, no analytics cookies are set and no data is sent to Google Analytics. Continuing to browse the site is not treated as consent.

We store your choice in the offshore_consent cookie for six months and then ask again. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, measurement stops and the Google Analytics cookies are deleted from your browser. Withdrawal does not affect measurement that took place before it.

4. Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working and remember choices you make, such as your language and your cookie choice. They do not require consent and are not used to track you.

Analytics cookies are used only if you accept them. They are set by Google Analytics 4 and help us understand how the site is used.

We do not use advertising cookies. We load Google Analytics with advertising storage and ad personalization switched off.

5. Cookies we use

The duration shown is the maximum. A cookie can be deleted earlier, for example when you clear your browser data. Google Analytics renews its cookies on each visit, so their two-year period runs from your last visit.

The site also keeps the campaign details of your visit (UTM parameters) in your browser’s session storage until you close the tab, so they can be sent with an enquiry. This is not a cookie, and the details reach us only if you send an enquiry.

6. Third parties

Google Analytics is a Google service. If you accept analytics cookies, Google receives data about your visit, such as the pages you open and details of your device and browser. Google may process this data in the United States.

How Google handles data is explained in Google’s privacy policy and on its page about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

7. Managing cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you see the cookies a site has stored, delete them, and block them for all sites or only for selected ones. Your browser’s help pages explain how.

If you block strictly necessary cookies, the site still works, but it cannot remember your language or your choice, so the banner appears on every visit. Google also offers a browser add-on that blocks Google Analytics on all websites.

8. Changes and contact

We update this policy when the cookies on the site change. The version number and effective date at the top of the page show which version applies.

For questions about cookies, write to office@off-shore.net. How we handle personal data in general is described in our Privacy policy.
