This Cookie Policy explains how New Tech Metals, a division of Blackman, Inc. ("NTM", "we", "us", "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit ntmetals.com (the "Site"). It supplements our Privacy Policy and our Terms & Conditions. By continuing to use the Site, you consent to the use of cookies as described below.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them on every visit.
We also use related technologies, web beacons, pixel tags, clear gifs, and local storage, that work similarly to cookies. For simplicity, this Policy refers to all of these as "cookies."
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies: remain on your device until they expire or you delete them
- First-party cookies: set by ntmetals.com itself
- Third-party cookies: set by services we use (such as analytics providers or embedded media)
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Essential / Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They enable core functionality like page navigation, form submission, and security. Without them, the Site cannot work properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Examples: session-management cookies; security/CSRF tokens; load-balancing cookies; cookie-consent preference storage.
Performance & Analytics
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site: which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, what links they click, and what referrers brought them here. We use this information to improve the Site's design, content, and user experience. The data is typically aggregated and anonymized.
Examples: Google Analytics (`_ga`, `_gid`, `_gat`); Vercel Analytics for performance metrics; first-party analytics for page-visit counts.
Functional
These cookies remember choices you make on the Site (such as preferences and settings) to give you a more personalized experience. They may also enable enhanced features like video playback or interactive content.
Examples: preference cookies for visual preferences (such as reduced-motion or dark-mode selection); session-state cookies for form-completion progress.
Marketing / Advertising
These cookies (if and when used) help us understand the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and may be used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you. NTM's current Site is not configured for third-party advertising; if this changes, we will update this Policy.
3. Third-Party Cookies
NTM does not currently use third-party tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies on the Site. If we add such services in the future, for example, web analytics to understand how visitors use the Site, we will update this Cookie Policy to describe them, the categories of cookies they place, and how you can manage them.
4. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You have several options to control cookies:
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically delete existing cookies, block all or some cookies, and set preferences for which sites can place cookies. Browser-specific instructions:
If you disable cookies, some parts of the Site may not function properly. Essential cookies cannot be disabled because they are required for the Site to operate.
Opt-Out Tools
- Google Analytics: Install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On
- Industry Opt-Outs: Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted, we currently do not respond to DNT signals. We may revisit this practice as industry standards evolve.
5. Cookies and Your Privacy Rights
For information about the personal data we collect through cookies and how we use it, and to learn about your rights under laws such as CCPA / CPRA (California) and GDPR-style regimes (international users), see our Privacy Policy.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be posted prominently. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
