Cookie Policy

SHAK STARS LTD provides logistics planning, delivery scheduling guidance and transport coordination consultancy for businesses and independent operators. Our website provides information about the company, an overview of our services, answers to common questions and a way to contact our team.

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit shakstars.services. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information may be collected and handled.

The cookies actually used depend on the website’s current configuration and the third-party tools enabled. This policy describes the applicable principles and should be kept aligned with the technologies operating on the live website.

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device when you visit it. They can help a website remember certain settings, support essential functions or recognise information about a previous visit.

Similar technologies may include browser storage, pixels, scripts and tools that read or store information on your device. This policy uses the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies where the context allows.

Cookies may be set by the website you visit or by a third-party service used on that website. Their purpose, provider and duration depend on the particular technology.

Cookies can serve different purposes. The categories below explain common uses; they do not confirm that every category is active on our website.

Depending on the website configuration, cookies or similar technologies may be used to:

• maintain essential website functions and security;
• remember a cookie preference or consent choice;
• support the operation of website forms or other requested functions;
• measure general website usage where analytics tools are enabled and permitted; and
• support other disclosed functions where relevant technologies are installed and lawful.

We aim to use cookies for purposes relevant to the operation of the website and to provide appropriate information about non-essential technologies before they are used where required.

We do not assume that every website visitor needs every category of cookie. Non-essential technologies should be enabled according to the visitor’s choices and the requirements that apply.

Certain website functions may rely on third-party providers, for example website hosting, security tools, embedded content, contact form services or website analytics if these are enabled. Those providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies as part of the services they supply.

The providers involved depend on the website’s actual configuration. We will not list a provider as an active cookie source unless its technology is in use and has been identified.

Where third-party technologies require consent, the website should prevent them from placing or reading non-essential cookies until the necessary consent has been obtained. External providers may also publish their own privacy and cookie information.

Links to external websites may take you outside our website. Their privacy practices and cookie controls are governed by their own notices.

Under UK rules governing cookies and similar technologies, strictly necessary technologies may be used where the relevant exemption applies. Other technologies generally require appropriate consent before information is stored on or accessed from a visitor’s device.

Where consent is required, it should be freely given, specific, informed and communicated through a clear affirmative choice. Visitors should be able to reject non-essential cookies as easily as they can accept them, and should have a practical way to change or withdraw their choice.

Closing a notice, continuing to browse or simply visiting the website should not be treated as consent to non-essential cookies where affirmative consent is required.

If a cookie preference tool is provided on the website, you can use it to review or change your choices. If the website does not currently provide such a tool, its configuration should be reviewed and updated where necessary to support applicable consent requirements.

Most web browsers provide settings that allow you to review, block or delete cookies. The available options vary by browser and device.

You can generally use your browser settings to:

• delete cookies already stored on your device;
• block some or all new cookies;
• receive notifications when cookies are set, where supported; and
• manage certain site-specific storage and privacy settings.

Blocking all cookies may affect website functions, including features that depend on essential storage or saved preferences. Browser settings do not necessarily replace a website’s own consent controls, particularly where consent is required for third-party technologies.

Some cookies are session cookies, which are generally removed when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

The duration depends on the particular cookie, its purpose and the provider’s configuration. We do not assign a universal expiry period to all cookies.

Cookie durations should be reviewed against the live website configuration. Where a cookie inventory is maintained, it should identify each active cookie or similar technology, its provider, purpose, category and retention or expiry period where that information is available.

Some cookie-related information may qualify as personal information, depending on the data collected and the context in which it is processed. Where personal information is processed, applicable data protection requirements also apply.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information, the purposes for processing, applicable lawful grounds, retention arrangements and the rights that may be available to individuals.

If you have a question about information collected through website technologies, you can contact us using the details in the final section of this policy.

We may update this policy when website features, enabled technologies, service providers or applicable requirements change. The revised version will be published on this page and will take effect when made available here, unless a different effective date is expressly stated.

If changes affect how consent is obtained or how non-essential technologies are used, the website’s consent arrangements should also be updated where necessary.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or the use of cookies on our website, please contact SHAK STARS LTD.
