Argos USA LLC and our affiliates (“Argos”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respect your privacy and are committed to complying with this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”), which describes what information we collect about you, including how we collect it, how we use it, with whom we may share it and what choices you have regarding our use of your information. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected on our website located at uscement.argosone.com (the “Website”), and “you” and “your” refers to the individual accessing this Website.

All updates and amendments are effective immediately upon notice thereof, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, by posting a revised version of this Privacy Policy on the Website. The version of this Privacy Policy as posted here: uscement.argosone.com on each respective date you visit the Website shall be the Privacy Policy applicable to your access and use of the Website on that date. Our electronically or otherwise properly stored copy of this Privacy Policy shall be deemed to be the true, complete, valid, and authentic copy of the version of this Privacy Policy which was in force on each respective date you visited the Website.
As described below, we may collect certain identifying information from or about you in connection with your use of, or your submissions to, the Website (collectively, the “Collected Information”).

Cookies are pieces of information that our server may place on your computer or other device when you visit our Website. We may use cookies to improve the user experience, including to store a user name or password so that you do not have to provide this information every time you return to our Website. Our cookies do not otherwise track your Internet activity and do not gather personally identifiable information.

You can decide if and how your computer will accept cookies by configuring your preferences or options in your browser.
The Website may use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, in order to better understand your use of the Website and how we can improve it. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Website, what pages you visit when you do so, and what other websites you used prior to coming to the Website.

We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Websites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of the Website, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected on the Website to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
