This Cookie Notice explains how GKM World OÜ (operating the TLM Marine brand at tlm-marine.com) uses cookies and similar local-storage technologies, and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy and reflects our obligations under the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended) and the Estonian Electronic Communications Act.
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They let the website remember things between page loads — for example, the language you chose, or whether you have already seen our cookie banner.
We also use modern equivalents to cookies (HTML5 local storage), which work similarly: small data items kept by your browser to remember your preferences. Throughout this notice, we use "cookies" to mean both.
We use the minimum number of cookies necessary to make our website work and, with your explicit consent, to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or third-party tracking.
When you first visit, our cookie banner asks you to accept, reject, or customise your preferences. Your choice is respected on every subsequent visit and can be changed any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.
