Privacy Policy for westernfreightbase.com
Last updated: 8 November 2026
This policy explains how westernfreightbase.com handles information when you visit our B2B solutions resource and read or respond to our published material. It applies to this website only. We have written it to be read alongside the specific topics we cover, from freight and cargo routing to equipment sourcing and vendor screening.
Information we collect
We keep collection limited to what is needed to run and improve the site:
- Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure records technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, referring page, requested URL and timestamps. These logs help us diagnose errors, detect abuse and understand overall traffic levels.
- Cookies and similar technologies. Small files may be stored in your browser to remember preferences, keep sessions working and measure how pages perform.
- Messages you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address, the content of your message and any details you choose to include, such as a company name or project description.
We do not ask for payment details, government identifiers or other sensitive categories of data through this site.
How we use information
Collected data is used to deliver pages correctly, maintain security, fix technical problems, review which articles are useful to readers, and reply to enquiries. Where you contact us about a topic such as cargo capacity, supplier checks or ordering timelines, we use your message only to respond and to keep a record of the correspondence. We do not sell personal information.
Cookies and your control over them
Cookies on this site fall into a few practical groups: essential cookies that keep the site functioning, preference cookies that remember settings, and analytics or advertising cookies set by us or by third parties. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, and most browsers let you review and remove stored cookies individually. Blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the site work. Browser-level controls and any consent tools shown on the site can be used together.
Advertising and Google
We may display advertising served by Google and its partners. These providers may use cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This is often called personalised or interest-based advertising. You can turn off personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, and you can also manage third-party advertising cookies through your browser or industry opt-out pages. Turning off personalisation does not remove ads; it makes them less tailored.
Third-party services
We rely on external providers for hosting, analytics and advertising. These providers process technical data under their own privacy terms, and their cookies may be set when you load a page or interact with an ad. We choose providers carefully but do not control their internal practices. If you follow a link from our content to another site, that site’s policy applies from the moment you arrive.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to personal data we hold about you, ask for correction or deletion, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent for cookies. To exercise any of these, contact us using the address below and describe your request clearly. We may need to confirm your identity before acting, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Children
This site is intended for business and professional readers. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please let us know so we can remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site, our services or legal requirements change. The revised version will appear on this page with a new last-updated date. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
