Max Built Trailers, LLC (“Max Built Trailers,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) uses cookies on this website, its subdomains, any associated web pages (the “Site”), as well as in our software applications and other portals, products, goods, services, events, and interactive features controlled by us (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Site and the Services, you consent to our use of cookies. Our Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, how third parties we may partner with may use cookies on the Site, your choices regarding cookies, and how you can manage them.
What are cookies?
A “cookie” is a small piece of information stored on your device when you visit a website. The cookie means that the Site will remember you and how you’ve used the Site every time you come back.
A cookie can be a “persistent” or “session” cookie. A “persistent” cookie will remain for a period of time set for that cookie or until you delete the cookie, depending on your browser settings. While all persistent cookies have an expiration date written into their code, their durations can vary. A “session-based” cookie is allocated only for the duration of your visit to our website and automatically expires or erases when you close down your browser.
First-party cookies originate from the same domain as the website you’re currently visiting (for example, in this case, www.maxbuilttrailers.com). Third-party cookies originate from a domain that’s different from the website being visited. For example, when you visit our website, we may link to another company’s website, or another company, like Google Analytics, Bing Analytics, Facebook, and/or YouTube, may place cookies on your device to provide us with analytics on our website visitors and to let us know if you view our content. We don’t control how these third parties use their cookies, so we suggest you check their website to see how they’re using them and how you can manage them. How Google and YouTube use Cookies is here; Bing/Microsoft’s privacy policy is here; and Facebook’s privacy policy is here.

How we use cookies
We use cookies for several reasons. For example, cookies are used to enable certain functions of the Site, enhance security, improve functionality of the Site, remember your preferences, or count the number of people looking at a website. We also use them to keep track of what you’ve done on the Site, and they may be used by third parties to make online advertising more relevant to you.
We receive data from you as part of the communication connection itself through the standard electronic greeting between your computer and our servers. This information often consists of network routing (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), Internet protocol address, date and time. Other parts of the Site use cookies (including signup forms) to collect information about your use of the Site and to facilitate return visits. Cookies on the Site may collect the following information: a unique identifier, user preferences and profile information used to personalize the content that is shown.
Cookies themselves don’t hold personally identifiable information (“PII”). They only have a unique alphanumeric identifier that sits on your browser. And in many cases, we won’t be able to link the information we collect by using a cookie back to you. They can, however, enable us to link that information back to you and your personal information, for example, when you log in, or choose to register for a service or newsletter.
We may also engage third parties to track and analyze non-personally and personally identifiable website data and for those third parties to provide advertisements. To do so, we may permit third parties to place cookies on devices of users of our Site, where permitted by law, and subject to your right to opt out through the Site. We use the data collected to help us administer and improve the quality of the Site and to analyze Site usage. Such third parties may combine the information that we provide about you with other information that they have collected. Third parties are required to use your information in accordance with this Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy. We will record all such disclosures and will use reasonable efforts to ensure that such third parties do not use your PII for any purpose that is not expressly provided for herein.
We’ve placed our cookies into the following categories or “types”, to make it easier for you to understand why we need them:
(1) Strictly necessary – these are used to help make our Site work efficiently.
(2) Performance – these are used to analyze the way our Site works and how we can improve it.
(3) Functionality – these help to enhance your experience by doing things like remembering choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, what region you are located in, or what your username and password are, you can automatically log in.
(4) Targeting/Advertisement – these are used to share some information with third parties who we advertise with, so we know how you’ve reached our Site. We can also use cookies to identify the parts of the Site that you are interested in. We then use this information to show you advertisements and pages we think may also be of interest to you, to tailor how we communicate with you, or to tailor the contents of the communications we send to you. If you prefer, you can opt out of these. Tailoring of content means it includes information reflecting the interest you’ve shown in the content of our web pages or offers or promotions that we think may interest you, and to improve how we respond to your needs.
In addition to the cookies we use on our Site, we may also use cookies and similar technologies in some emails and notifications we send to you. These help us to understand whether you have opened the email and how you have interacted with it. If you have enabled images, cookies may be set on your computer or mobile device. Cookies will also be set if you click on any link within the email.
Controlling your cookies
To sign up for information or services with Max Built Trailers or Down Home Trailers you must have cookies enabled on your internet browser. If you choose not to enable cookies, you will still be able to browse our Site, but it will restrict some of the functionality of our Site and what you can do.
You can set your web browser to alert you when a cookie is being used. You can also get information on the duration of the cookie and what server your data is being returned to. You then can accept or reject the cookie. Additionally, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers.
You can opt in or out of cookies at any time – except strictly necessary cookies (these are used to help make our website work efficiently). If you wish to restrict or block the cookies set by any website – including the www.maxbuilttrailers.com website – you can do this through the web browser settings for each web browser you use, on each device you use to access the internet. You may “clear” all cookies to force our cookie preferences panel to restart so that you may change your cookie preferences at any time. Currently, it is technically impossible for you to synchronize your settings between your browsers and devices (e.g., your computer and your smartphone), so you must manage your cookies on each browser, on each device.
Information on controlling and deleting cookies, including on a wide variety of browsers, is also available at allaboutcookies.org. Some of the more popular browsers (and links to manage your cookies on each) are:
Some services may not function or may have more limited functionality if your web browser does not accept cookies. However, you can allow cookies from specific websites by making them ‘trusted websites’ in your web browser.
