Data Privacy & Tracking

Cookie Policy

Understanding how we use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to ensure website security, reliability, and continuous performance.

Cookie & Tracking Statement

Effective Date: Last revised September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Star IT Services Ltd ("Star IT", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons, tags, and HTML5 local storage) when you visit our website at staritservices.net. This policy should be read alongside our UK GDPR & Privacy Policy.

1What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers to enable website functionality, enhance security, facilitate navigation, and provide aggregate analytical insights into platform usage.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Star IT Services Ltd) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies" (such as performance monitors or embedded video services).

2Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

Always Active

These cookies are vital for the proper operation and security of our website. They include mechanisms for load balancing, CSRF token validation on contact forms, and recording your consent preferences. Because they are essential to deliver services requested by you, they cannot be switched off in our systems under PECR regulations.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

Analytical Consent

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are most and least popular, calculate page loading latency, and observe how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymised.

Functional & Preference Cookies

Optional

These cookies enable enhanced website functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your region, font sizes, or pre-populating company preference fields when requesting technical consultations.

Targeting & Marketing Cookies

Zero Third-Party Ad Networks

Star IT Services does not sell consumer data nor participate in intrusive cross-site behavioral advertising networks. Any conversion tracking deployed (e.g. LinkedIn Insight Tag) is strictly constrained to B2B business inquiries and operates solely upon explicit visitor opt-in.
