This Cookie Policy explains how Shining Stars Co., Ltd., operating as Shining Stars School Kamala (“Shining Stars,” “the School,” “we,” “us” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on:

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.

Cookies can help a website function correctly, remember choices, understand how visitors use the website and provide content from external services.

Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. These are called session cookies. Other cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them. These are called persistent cookies.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Keep the website secure and functioning correctly

  • Remember your cookie preferences

  • Support website forms and essential features

  • Understand how visitors find and use our website

  • Identify technical problems

  • Improve website performance and usability

  • Display external content such as maps, videos or social media features

We do not use cookies to sell personal information.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies support essential website functions and security. They may be used to:

  • Load and display website pages

  • Maintain website security

  • Prevent spam or misuse

  • Remember your cookie-consent choices

  • Support contact forms and other requested features

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, they cannot normally be disabled through our cookie-preference system. You may still block them through your browser, but parts of the website may not function correctly.

Preference and functional cookies

These cookies help the website remember choices or provide additional functions.

They may remember settings such as language, display preferences or interactions with website features.

Functional cookies may also be placed when you choose to use content provided by an external service.

Analytics and performance cookies

When you provide the required consent, analytics cookies may help us understand:

  • How many people visit the website

  • Which pages visitors view

  • How visitors arrive at the website

  • How long visitors remain on a page

  • Whether visitors encounter technical problems

  • Which devices or browsers are used

We may use Google Analytics or a related analytics service for this purpose. Google Analytics commonly uses cookies beginning with names such as _ga. The exact cookies and storage periods may change when the service or its configuration is updated.

Analytics information helps us improve the website. We do not intentionally use analytics cookies to identify children or collect information directly from children.

Third-party and embedded-content cookies

Some pages may include services provided by other organisations, such as:

  • Google Maps

  • Google Analytics

  • WhatsApp

  • Facebook

  • Instagram

  • Embedded videos or media

These providers may place cookies or use similar technologies when you interact with their content. They may receive information such as your IP address, browser information, device information and the page you visited.

Third-party services control their own cookies and process information according to their own privacy policies.

Where required, third-party content and non-essential cookies should remain blocked until you provide consent.

Advertising cookies

We do not intentionally place advertising cookies unless an advertising or remarketing service is enabled on the website.

If advertising cookies are introduced, they must be identified in the cookie-preference panel and should not be activated until the visitor provides the required consent.

4. Cookie List and Storage Periods

The exact cookies used by the website can change when WordPress, Elementor, website plugins, analytics services or embedded third-party features are updated.

The current cookie names, providers, purposes and storage periods should be displayed in the detailed preferences section of our cookie banner, based on the most recent website cookie scan.

Cookies may last:

  • Only for the current browsing session

  • For a short period

  • For several months

  • Until the user’s consent preference expires

  • Until they are manually deleted

Third-party providers determine the duration of cookies they control.

5. Cookie Consent

When you first visit the website, you may see a cookie banner that allows you to:

  • Accept all optional cookies

  • Reject optional cookies

  • Select individual cookie categories

  • Continue with necessary cookies only

Necessary cookies may operate without consent when they are required to provide the website or a service you have requested.

Analytics, advertising and other non-essential cookies should be activated only after you provide the required consent.

Not selecting an option or continuing to browse should not automatically be treated as consent to non-essential cookies.

6. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent

You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.

Use the Cookie Settings or Manage Consent link displayed on the website to reopen the cookie-preference panel.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before consent was withdrawn. It should prevent the website from placing the affected optional cookies in the future.

Cookies already stored on your device may remain until they expire or are removed through your browser settings.

7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to view, block and delete cookies. These controls are normally available under the browser’s privacy or security settings.

You can usually:

  • Delete existing cookies

  • Block all cookies

  • Block third-party cookies

  • Allow cookies only for selected websites

  • Receive a warning before a cookie is stored

Blocking all cookies may prevent certain website features from working correctly.

For current instructions, consult the support information for your browser, such as Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge.

8. Personal Data and Cookies
