Last updated: May 2026

TradeEdge (forwarderinsights.blogspot.com) is a freight forwarding and import/export education resource operated by Jason Kim. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site, how it is used, and what choices you have regarding that information.

1. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit TradeEdge, standard server logs and third-party analytics tools may automatically record your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring website, pages visited, and time spent on each page. This information is collected in aggregate form to help understand how visitors use the site and to improve content quality. It is not used to identify individual visitors personally.

2. Cookies

This website uses cookies — small data files stored on your device by your browser. Cookies are used for three purposes on TradeEdge: (a) to support essential site functionality provided by the Blogger platform operated by Google, (b) to enable traffic analysis through Google Analytics, and (c) to support interest-based advertising through Google AdSense. You may disable or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on this and other websites.

3. Google Analytics

TradeEdge uses Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior, including session duration, pages viewed, approximate geographic location at the city or region level, and traffic sources. Google Analytics collects this data using cookies and similar tracking technologies. The data is aggregated and anonymized. Individual visitors are not identified by name or personal information. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

TradeEdge participates in the Google AdSense program. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons to display advertisements based on your browsing history on this site and other websites across the internet. This is known as interest-based or personalized advertising. TradeEdge does not control which specific advertisements are displayed by Google AdSense. You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google's Ad Settings at google.com/settings/ads, or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org.

5. Email and Contact Information

If you contact TradeEdge by sending an email to tarsis.global@gmail.com, your name, email address, and message content will be stored for the sole purpose of responding to your inquiry. This information is not shared with third parties, sold, or used for any marketing or advertising purpose without your explicit consent. Emails are retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry.

6. External Links

TradeEdge articles may contain links to external websites operated by third parties, including freight industry organizations, government agencies such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), carrier websites, and logistics resources. TradeEdge is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information to that site.

7. Affiliate and Commercial Relationships
