They may be used to:
- Operate website functions
- Maintain website security
- Remember cookie preferences

- Security services
- Spam-prevention services
- Live-chat providers
- Payment providers
- Embedded content providers
Third-party providers may collect information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Alicarrier does not directly control how independent third parties use their cookies after information has been transferred to them.
4. Session and Persistent Cookies
Session Cookies
Session cookies usually remain active only while a browser is open. They are normally deleted when the browser is closed.
They may be used to:
- Maintain website navigation

- Protect website sessions

Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on a device after the browser is closed until:

Persistent cookies may be used to remember preferences, measure repeat visits, or support analytics and marketing functions.
5. Categories of Cookies We May Use
5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to operate securely and provide functions requested by the visitor.
They may be used to:
- Load website pages
- Maintain website security
- Prevent spam, fraud, or malicious activity
- Process forms
- Remember cookie-consent choices
- Maintain essential website sessions
- Support network and server management
- Balance website traffic
- Store accessibility preferences required by the website
Because these cookies are necessary for essential website functions, they cannot normally be disabled through our cookie-consent tool.
Users may still block these cookies through browser settings, but doing so may cause parts of the website to stop functioning correctly.
Operational and authentication cookies required for a website to function may not require consent, although visitors should still be informed about their use.
5.2 Functional and Preference Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices made by a visitor.
They may remember:
- Language preferences
- Region or country
- Display preferences
- Previously selected options
- Form settings
- Chat preferences
- Accessibility settings
These cookies may improve convenience and personalization but are not always essential to the basic operation of the website.
Where required by applicable law, functional cookies will only be used after the visitor provides consent.
If these cookies are rejected, some optional website features may not operate as expected.
5.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help Alicarrier understand how visitors interact with the website.
They may collect information about:
- Number of visitors
- Pages viewed
- Time spent on pages
- Navigation paths
- Referring websites
- General geographic region
- Browser and device type
- Website errors
- Page-loading performance
- Contact-form interactions
- Popular services or content
We may use this information to:
- Improve website navigation
- Identify technical problems
- Understand which pages are useful
- Improve service descriptions
- Evaluate website performance
- Measure the effectiveness of content and campaigns
Analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized, but analytics identifiers can still be treated as personal information under certain laws.
Where consent is legally required, analytics cookies will not be activated until the visitor accepts them.
5.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising and marketing cookies may be used to:
- Measure advertising performance
- Understand whether a visitor arrived through an advertisement
- Limit repeated advertisements
- Create audience groups
- Deliver more relevant advertising
- Support remarketing
- Measure conversions
- Connect website activity with advertising platforms
These cookies may track activity across different websites, applications, browsers, or devices.
Where required by applicable law, Alicarrier will only use advertising and marketing cookies after the visitor provides consent.
Rejecting these cookies will not prevent visitors from using the main Alicarrier website, although advertisements seen elsewhere may be less relevant.
5.5 Social Media Cookies
Social media cookies may be placed when the website includes:
- Social sharing buttons
- Embedded social media posts
- Social media videos
- Messaging buttons
- Social login features
- Social media tracking technologies
Social media companies may use these cookies to associate website activity with an account held on their platform.
Alicarrier does not control how social media platforms independently process information.
5.6 Embedded Content Cookies
Some Alicarrier pages may include content provided by third-party services, such as:
- Videos
- Maps
- Tracking tools
- Chat widgets
- Payment tools
- Review platforms
- External forms
- Social media content
These providers may place cookies or collect device information when the content is loaded or used.
Where possible and legally required, optional embedded content will remain blocked until the user provides the relevant consent.
5.7 Security and Fraud-Prevention Cookies
Security technologies may be used to:
- Detect suspicious traffic
- Prevent spam submissions
- Protect website forms
- Identify automated access
- Prevent unauthorized activity
- Protect Alicarrier systems

Some security cookies may be strictly necessary. Others may require consent depending on their function and applicable law.
6. Why Alicarrier Uses Cookies
Alicarrier may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Website Operation
To ensure that pages, menus, forms, buttons, and other website functions operate correctly.
Security
To protect the website, customers, forms, and systems from spam, fraud, automated attacks, and unauthorized access.
Consent Management
To remember whether a visitor accepted, rejected, or customized their cookie preferences.
Customer Communication
To support contact forms, quotation forms, WhatsApp buttons, email functions, or live-chat features.
Website Improvement
To understand how visitors use the website and improve content, design, navigation, and performance.
Service Measurement
To understand which services, shipping routes, articles, or pages receive the most interest.
Marketing
To measure campaigns, referrals, advertising performance, and website conversions where permitted.
7. Cookie Consent
When required by applicable law, Alicarrier will request consent before placing non-essential cookies on a visitor’s device.
The cookie banner may provide choices such as:
- Accept All
- Reject Non-Essential
- Manage Preferences
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are needed to operate or secure the website.
Consent must involve a clear and informed choice. Non-essential cookies should not be placed merely because a visitor continued browsing the website, and users should be provided with a practical method of declining them.
8. Managing or Withdrawing Consent
Visitors may change or withdraw their cookie preferences at any time.
Depending on the configuration of the Alicarrier website, preferences may be changed by:
- Selecting the Cookie Settings link in the website footer
- Reopening the cookie-preference panel
- Changing browser settings
- Deleting stored cookies
- Blocking third-party cookies
- Using privacy controls provided by third-party services
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookie use that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
Disabling cookies does not automatically delete information already collected by a third party. Visitors may need to use the privacy controls supplied by the relevant provider.
9. Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow users to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete individual cookies
- Delete all cookies
- Block first-party cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Reject cookies from specific websites
- Delete cookies when the browser closes
- Receive notifications before cookies are stored
Browser controls vary between providers and versions. Visitors should consult the help or privacy section of their browser for current instructions.
Blocking all cookies may prevent some areas of the Alicarrier website from working correctly.
10. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers and privacy tools send signals such as:
- Global Privacy Control
- Do Not Track
- Other opt-out preference signals
Where Alicarrier is legally required to recognize a supported browser-based privacy signal, we will take reasonable steps to process it.
Because technical standards and legal requirements may vary, not all browser signals have the same meaning or legal effect in every jurisdiction.
11. Cookies Used by Alicarrier
The following table should identify the cookies and similar technologies actually used on the website.
| Cookie or technology | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Insert cookie name] | Alicarrier | Strictly necessary | [Describe purpose] | [Session or duration] |
| [Insert cookie name] | [Provider] | Functional | [Describe purpose] | [Duration] |
| [Insert cookie name] | [Provider] | Analytics | [Describe purpose] | [Duration] |
| [Insert cookie name] | [Provider] | Marketing | [Describe purpose] | [Duration] |
This table must be updated whenever cookies, plugins, analytics tools, advertising tools, or embedded services are added, removed, or reconfigured.
Do not publish the placeholder rows as the final cookie list.
12. Third-Party Services
Depending on the tools installed on the website, Alicarrier may use third-party services for:
- Website hosting
- Content delivery
- Website security
- Analytics
- Spam prevention
- Form processing
- Email delivery
- Online chat
- Maps
- Videos
- Advertising
- Payment processing
- Social media
- Website performance monitoring
Each provider may use cookies or similar technologies according to its own policies.
Alicarrier recommends reviewing the privacy and cookie information supplied by relevant third-party providers.
13. Google Services
If Alicarrier uses Google services, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Maps, Google Tag Manager, YouTube, or reCAPTCHA, Google may collect information through cookies and similar technologies.
Depending on the service and configuration, collected information may include:
- IP address
- Browser information
- Device information
- Website interactions
- Advertising identifiers
- Approximate location
- Referral information
- Video or map interactions
Optional Google analytics or advertising technologies will be managed through the cookie-consent mechanism where required.
This section should only remain in the published policy if Alicarrier actually uses one or more Google services.
14. Meta and Social Media Services
If Alicarrier uses Meta Pixel, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or another social media integration, the relevant platform may collect information about website visits and interactions.
Such information may be used for:
- Conversion measurement
- Audience analysis
- Advertising
- Remarketing
- Social sharing
- Platform security
This section should only remain if these services are actually installed or embedded.
15. WhatsApp
Alicarrier may provide a WhatsApp contact button or link to help visitors communicate with our customer service team.
When a visitor selects the WhatsApp button:
- The visitor may leave the Alicarrier website
- WhatsApp may receive technical or account information
- WhatsApp may process messages and contact information under its own policies
- Cookies or similar technologies may be used by WhatsApp or its related services
Simply displaying a standard external WhatsApp link may operate differently from embedding a third-party WhatsApp chat widget. The cookie table should reflect the actual technology used.
16. Forms and Spam Protection
Alicarrier may use contact forms, quotation forms, or anti-spam technologies.
These tools may use cookies or technical identifiers to:
- Process form submissions
- Prevent automated abuse
- Detect spam
- Maintain security
- Remember incomplete form data
- Confirm successful submission
Where an external anti-spam or form-processing provider is used, relevant details should be included in the cookie table.
17. Cookie Retention
Cookies may remain on a visitor’s device for different periods.
Retention depends on:
- The cookie’s purpose
- Whether it is a session or persistent cookie
- The provider’s settings
- The user’s browser settings
- Whether consent is withdrawn
- Whether the user manually deletes the cookie
Alicarrier will seek to avoid retaining cookie data longer than reasonably necessary for its stated purpose.
The exact retention period for each cookie should be shown in the cookie table.
18. Consent Records
Alicarrier or its consent-management provider may retain a record of cookie preferences.
The record may include:
- Consent status
- Categories accepted or rejected
- Date and time of the choice
- Consent identifier
- Policy or banner version
- Approximate technical information needed to demonstrate the choice
Consent records may be retained for compliance, security, and preference-management purposes.
19. International Data Transfers
Some cookie and analytics providers may process information in countries other than the visitor’s country.
Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws in the visitor’s location.
Where required, Alicarrier or its providers will rely on an appropriate legal mechanism for international data transfers.
Additional information about international transfers is available in the Alicarrier Privacy Policy.
20. Children
Alicarrier’s purchasing and international shipping services are intended for adults and businesses.
We do not knowingly use cookies to create advertising profiles specifically directed at children.
A parent or guardian who believes a child has interacted with our website in a way that raises privacy concerns may contact us.
