Cookie Policy
What cookies are, which categories this website uses, and how to control them from your own browser.
About this cookie policy
This policy explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies. It describes what cookies are, which categories are used here, and how you can control them through your browser. It applies to atlanticstar.digital and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Atlantic Star Logistics operates this site as an information resource for international shipping, freight forwarding, customs clearance and warehousing enquiries. Nothing on this page changes the service you receive — it only tells you what is stored on your device when you read it, and how to remove it if you prefer.
Cookie rules sit with the visitor, not the site. Your browser is where cookies are stored, viewed and deleted, so the practical instructions further down apply to every website you visit, not only this one.
Definition
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. It lets the site remember information between visits or during a single session, such as a preference you have set. Cookies are not programs and cannot run code on your device. Some are set by the site you are visiting, and others are set by third-party services the site uses.
In short
- A cookie holds data, not instructions. It cannot install software or read files on your device.
- Session cookies disappear when you close the browser; persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
- First-party cookies come from this site. Third-party cookies come from services the site loads.
Which cookies this site uses
Two categories are in play on atlanticstar.digital. One keeps the site working; the other helps us see which pages visitors actually read.
Essential
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They support basic features such as page navigation, form submission, and security. Without them, parts of the site may not work correctly. Because they are essential to providing the service you have requested, they are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a working website.
In practice this means the page you clicked arrives intact, a message you send through the contact route is delivered, and a short-lived security check keeps automated abuse away from that route. You cannot switch these off from within the site, because there is no working alternative — switching them off in the browser will simply stop parts of the site from loading properly.
Optional
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are viewed most often and where visitors arrive from. This information is used in aggregate to improve the site. Where analytics cookies are used, you can refuse them without losing access to the main content of the site.
What we read is a page count and a rough origin, not a profile of you. If you would rather not be counted at all, the browser section below explains where to block this category.
Third-party cookies
Some features may rely on third-party services that set their own cookies. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we do not control the cookies they set. Where such services are used, the relevant provider's policy applies to the data they collect.
That usually happens when a page embeds something hosted elsewhere, or when a service that measures site traffic runs alongside our own code. The cookie belongs to that provider, so the place to read about it — and the place to object — is that provider's own policy, not this one. Our part of the bargain is to keep third-party services to the ones the page actually needs, and to say here that they exist.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view the cookies stored, delete individual ones, block third-party cookies, or block all cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect how this site and others behave. The help section of your browser explains the options available for the version you are using.
-
Open your browser settings
Look for a section called Privacy, Security or Site data. Every current browser keeps cookie controls there, and the wording is close enough to recognise across Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
-
Review what is stored
The list shows each cookie with the site that set it and its expiry. Reading the list once is usually enough to see which entries belong to sites you use and which are leftovers from a single visit.
-
Delete single entries or clear all
Most browsers let you remove one cookie without touching the rest. Clearing everything at once is faster, but it also signs you out of sites and forgets preferences you may have set on purpose.
-
Choose a blocking level
Blocking third-party cookies is the common middle setting: the site you are reading still works, while cookies set by other domains are refused. Blocking all cookies is the strictest option and the one most likely to break page features.
-
Recheck after an update
Browser updates occasionally reset privacy settings or add new ones. If a choice you made stops working, the same settings screen is where you restore it — the option rarely disappears, it just moves.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies used on the site change or if the law requires it. The version published on this page is the current one. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
Updates are usually small: a category is renamed, a description is tightened, or a third-party service is added or removed. When a change affects what is stored on your device rather than how it is described, that is the point at which it is worth re-reading the browser section above.
