Cookie Policy
Every cookie this website uses, what it does, how long it lasts, and how to turn the optional ones off.
1. What this covers
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on starktechnology.net and starktechnology.net/ar/, what each one does, how long it lasts, and how to control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. It lets the site remember things between pages and between visits. Related technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, do similar jobs and are covered by this policy too.
Cookies set by starktechnology.net are first-party. Cookies set by another domain loaded through our pages, such as Google or LinkedIn, are third-party.
3. Your choice
Nothing but strictly necessary cookies is set until you choose.
When you first visit, a banner asks you to accept or reject the optional categories. Until you accept, no analytics or advertising cookie is placed. If you reject, the site works normally. We simply learn less about which pages are useful.
You can change your mind at any time using “Cookie settings” in the footer of every page.
4. The cookies we use
4.1 Strictly necessary, always on, no consent required
These are required for the site to function or to keep it secure. They cannot be switched off through our banner.

| LiteSpeed cache cookies | starktechnology.net | Serves the correct cached version of a page | Session |
4.2 Analytics, off until you accept
These help us understand which pages are read and where visitors give up. The data is aggregated. We do not use it to identify you personally.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | google-analytics.com | Distinguishes one visitor from another | 24 months |
| _ga_628T3XRR74 | google-analytics.com | Maintains the analytics session state for our property | 24 months |

Provider: Google Ireland Limited. Our measurement ID is G-628T3XRR74. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
4.3 Advertising and audience measurement, off until you accept
These let us measure whether our LinkedIn advertising reaches the kind of organisation we work with, and stop us showing the same advertisement to people who have already responded.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| li_sugr | linkedin.com | Browser identification for audience building | 90 days |
| bcookie | linkedin.com | Browser identifier for LinkedIn services | 12 months |

| LinkedIn Insight Tag pixel | snap.licdn.com, px.ads.linkedin.com | Conversion measurement and retargeting | Not a cookie. A request fired on page load |
Provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. Our partner ID is 9424434.
5. Controlling cookies in your browser
Independently of our banner, every major browser lets you block or delete cookies:
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security
- Safari: Settings, Privacy
Blocking all cookies will stop parts of most websites working, including ours. Blocking only third-party cookies is usually enough to stop advertising tracking.
6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Browsers may send a “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” signal. Where our consent tool receives a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a rejection of the optional categories.
7. Changes
When we add, remove or change a cookie, this page is updated and the version number at the top changes. Where the change adds a new category of tracking, we will ask for your consent again.
