Same Day Courier Delivery Service (“we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company”) operates the website http://samedaycourierdeliveryservice.co.uk/ (the “Website”). This Cookies Policy explains how and why we use cookies, other tracking technologies, and similar tools when you visit our Website. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (as amended) (“PECR”) and UK GDPR.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies? Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, mobile device, or tablet when you visit a website. They enable the site (or a third-party service) to recognise your device and remember information about your visit (such as preferences or login status).
Similar technologies include:
- Local Storage and Session Storage (browser storage)
- Web beacons / tracking pixels
- Device fingerprints
- Server logs
These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies and are covered by this policy.
2. Why do we use cookies? We use cookies to:
- Make the Website work properly (essential functions)
- Improve your browsing experience (remember preferences)
- Understand how visitors use our site (analytics)
- Ensure security and prevent fraud
- (Currently not used) Show relevant advertisements if we run marketing campaigns
3. Types of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies These are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require consent under PECR. Examples include:
- Session cookies to keep you logged in (if applicable)

3.2 Functional / Preference Cookies These remember choices you make to personalise your experience. Examples (if implemented):

3.3 Performance / Analytics Cookies These collect anonymous information about how visitors use the Website (e.g., which pages are most visited, time spent, bounce rate). We use this to improve the site. Possible tools: Google Analytics, Matomo, or similar (check your actual setup). Data is aggregated and anonymised where possible (e.g., IP masking). Examples:

4. How long do cookies last?
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies: remain for a set period (e.g., 1 month to 2 years) or until deleted
5. Third-party cookies Some cookies are set by third-party services we use (e.g., analytics providers). These parties may use data for their own purposes. Examples (if active):
