1. Introduction

Welcome to the website of Sri Shyam Industries.

This Cookies Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit, browse or interact with our website. It explains what cookies are, why websites use them, the types of cookies that may be used, and the choices available to you.

Cookies help websites operate efficiently and can provide information that helps improve website functionality, security, performance and user experience.

This Cookies Policy should be read together with the website’s Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, and other applicable policies.

By continuing to browse or use the website, you acknowledge the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy, subject to any choices or consent mechanisms made available to you and applicable law.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other internet-connected device when you visit the website.

A cookie generally contains information that allows a website or service to recognize a particular browser or remember certain information about a previous visit.

Cookies can serve different purposes. Some are necessary for a website to function properly, while others help website owners understand how visitors use their websites or provide more relevant features and advertising.

Cookies themselves generally do not contain information that directly identifies an individual. However, information associated with cookies may sometimes be linked with other information that can identify a user, depending on how the website and third-party services operate.

3. Why Does Sri Shyam Industries Use Cookies?

Sri Shyam Industries may use cookies and similar technologies for legitimate website and business purposes, including to:

• operate essential website functions;
• maintain website security;
• remember user preferences;
• improve website navigation;
• understand how visitors interact with website pages;
• identify technical problems;
• improve website performance;
• measure website traffic;
• understand the effectiveness of marketing activities;
• improve user experience; and
• support relevant advertising where applicable.

The actual cookies used on the website may change as website functionality, technology, analytics services and marketing requirements develop.

4. Types of Cookies

Cookies can generally be divided into several categories based on their purpose.

The main categories that may be relevant to the website include:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
2. Functional or Preference Cookies
3. Analytics or Performance Cookies
4. Advertising or Marketing Cookies
5. Third-Party Cookies

Not every category will necessarily be active at all times. The cookies actually used may depend on the website’s current technology and the services integrated into it.

5. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be required for certain basic website functions to operate correctly.

These cookies can help with functions such as:

• website security;
• session management;
• page navigation;
• form functionality;
• authentication where applicable;
• fraud prevention;
• load balancing; and
• other essential technical operations.

Because these cookies may be necessary for the website to function, disabling them may affect certain website features.

Where applicable law permits strictly necessary cookies to operate without consent, they may be used on that basis.

6. Functional and Preference Cookies

Functional cookies allow a website to remember choices or preferences made by a visitor.

Depending on the website’s configuration, these cookies may remember information such as:

• language preferences;
• display preferences;
• previously selected options;
• user interface settings; or
• other preferences that improve the browsing experience.

These cookies are intended to make subsequent visits more convenient.

If functional cookies are disabled, some website preferences may not be remembered.

7. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies may help Sri Shyam Industries understand how visitors use the website.

For example, analytics technologies may provide information about:

• which pages receive visits;
• how visitors navigate between pages;
• approximate traffic levels;
• how long visitors interact with certain pages;
• whether pages are functioning properly;
• which website features are used; and
• how website performance can be improved.

Analytics information is generally used to understand trends rather than to identify individual visitors directly.

Where analytics services are provided by third parties, those providers may process information according to their own applicable policies.

8. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Where applicable, marketing or advertising cookies may be used to understand interactions with advertisements, marketing campaigns and website content.

These technologies may help measure:

• advertising performance;
• campaign effectiveness;
• website conversions;
• interactions with advertisements;
• visits resulting from advertising campaigns; and
• general audience behaviour.

Marketing technologies may also allow advertising platforms to provide advertisements that are more relevant to users based on their browsing activity.

Sri Shyam Industries does not guarantee that advertising technologies will always operate in the same manner, as their functionality is controlled partly by the relevant third-party providers.

9. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third parties rather than directly by Sri Shyam Industries.

Third-party services may include, depending on the website’s actual configuration:

• analytics providers;
• advertising platforms;
• social-media services;
• security providers;
• embedded content providers;
• communication tools; and
• other technology providers.

These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies to provide their services.

Their processing of information may be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

Sri Shyam Industries does not necessarily control the cookies placed by independent third-party services.

10. Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies

Cookies may also be classified according to how long they remain on a device.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are generally temporary.

They may remain on your device while your browser session is active and may be removed when the browser is closed.

They can support temporary website functionality such as maintaining a browsing session or remembering information during a single visit.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on a device for a specified period or until they are manually deleted.

They may allow a website or service to recognize a returning browser and remember certain preferences or interactions.

The duration of a persistent cookie depends on the purpose for which it is used and the settings established by the relevant service.

11. Similar Technologies

Cookies are not the only technology that may be used to understand website activity.

Depending on the website’s configuration, similar technologies may include:

• pixels;
• web beacons;
• tracking tags;
• scripts;
• local storage technologies;
• device identifiers; and
• other digital tracking mechanisms.

These technologies may perform functions similar to cookies, such as measuring website traffic, understanding interactions or evaluating marketing performance.

For simplicity, this policy may refer to cookies and similar technologies collectively as “cookies” where appropriate.

12. Information That May Be Collected

Depending on the type of cookie or technology involved, information associated with website activity may include:

• browser type;
• device type;
• operating system;
• approximate location;
• referring webpage;
• pages visited;
• time spent on pages;
• interactions with website features;
• approximate date and time of visits;
• website preferences;
• advertising interactions; and
• technical information concerning website usage.

The exact information collected depends upon the technology involved and its configuration.

Cookies are not intended to give Sri Shyam Industries unrestricted access to information stored on your device.

13. Cookies and Personal Information

Cookies may sometimes be associated with information that can identify or relate to an individual.

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal information under applicable law, Sri Shyam Industries will handle such information in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.

Not all cookie information necessarily identifies an individual.

For example, aggregated or statistical information may be used to understand general website traffic without identifying a particular visitor.

14. How Cookies Improve Website Experience

Cookies can help create a smoother browsing experience by allowing the website to remember information and understand how its pages are being used.

For example, cookies may help:

• prevent repeated actions;
• remember selected preferences;
• improve page loading and functionality;
• identify technical problems;
• understand popular website content;
• improve navigation; and
• make website services more useful.

The purpose is to improve the website experience while maintaining appropriate controls over information collected through these technologies.

15. Cookies and Website Security

Certain cookies or similar technologies may support website security.

Security-related technologies may help detect:

• suspicious activity;
• automated abuse;
• fraudulent requests;
• unauthorized access attempts;
• unusual traffic patterns; and
• other potential security threats.

These technologies may be particularly important for protecting website forms, services and infrastructure.

Disabling certain security-related technologies may affect the availability or functionality of some website features.

16. Cookies Used for Website Performance

Sri Shyam Industries may use cookies or similar technologies to identify technical or performance issues.

For example, website performance information may help identify:

• pages that load slowly;
• broken website functions;
• unexpected errors;
• navigation problems;
• compatibility issues; or
• unusually high failure rates.

This information can help improve website reliability and overall user experience.

17. Cookies and Website Enquiries

Visitors may use website forms or other communication features to submit product enquiries or requests.

Cookies may sometimes assist with the technical operation, security, analytics or measurement of these features.

Cookie information does not replace the information that a visitor voluntarily submits through an enquiry form.

Any personal information submitted through such forms is handled in accordance with the website’s Privacy Policy and applicable law.

18. Cookies and Digital Marketing

Sri Shyam Industries may use digital marketing channels to promote its packaging products and services.

Cookies and similar technologies may help measure the effectiveness of these activities.

For example, they may help determine whether a visitor reached the website after interacting with an online advertisement or marketing campaign.

This information can help improve advertising relevance, campaign measurement and allocation of marketing resources.

19. Cookies and Search Advertising

Where search advertising is used, cookies or related technologies may assist advertising platforms in measuring interactions and conversions.

Such information may help determine whether advertising campaigns are generating relevant website visits and product enquiries.

Sri Shyam Industries does not guarantee that advertising platforms will use cookies in a particular manner because the operation of third-party advertising technologies is subject to the relevant provider’s systems and policies.

20. Your Cookie Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have choices concerning certain categories of cookies.

These choices may include:

• accepting certain cookies;
• rejecting optional cookies;
• changing cookie preferences;
• disabling cookies through your browser; or
• withdrawing previously provided consent where applicable.

Some cookies may be necessary for basic website functionality and may not be capable of being disabled through ordinary preference controls.

21. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most modern web browsers allow users to manage cookies through their browser settings.

Depending on the browser, you may be able to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete existing cookies;
• block certain cookies;
• block all cookies;
• allow cookies only from selected websites;
• receive notifications when cookies are being set; or
• delete cookies automatically when the browser is closed.

The exact options differ between browsers and may change when the browser is updated.

If you choose to block or delete cookies, some website functions may not operate as intended.

22. Cookie Consent

Where applicable law requires consent before certain cookies are placed on a device, Sri Shyam Industries may use a cookie consent mechanism to obtain and manage the visitor’s preferences.

Depending on the available consent mechanism, you may be able to:

• accept optional cookies;
• reject optional cookies;
• select individual cookie categories; or
• change your preferences at a later time.

The availability of particular controls may depend on the visitor’s location, applicable law and the technologies currently implemented on the website.

23. Withdrawal of Cookie Consent

Where consent is required and has been provided for optional cookies, you may have the right to withdraw that consent.

Withdrawal of consent does not necessarily affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

After withdrawal, certain optional cookies may no longer be used, although previously stored cookies may need to be deleted separately through your browser or device settings.

24. Essential Cookies and Optional Cookies

Not all cookies serve the same purpose.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies may be required for the website to function correctly, maintain security or provide a service specifically requested by the visitor.

Because they may be necessary for basic functionality, disabling them could prevent certain features from working.

Optional Cookies

Optional cookies may include analytics, preference or marketing technologies that are not strictly necessary for basic website operation.

Where required by applicable law, these cookies may only be activated after obtaining the appropriate consent.

25. Analytics Services

Sri Shyam Industries may use analytics technologies to understand general website usage and improve website performance.

Analytics services can help provide information such as:

• number of visitors;
• frequently viewed pages;
• traffic sources;
• general navigation patterns;
• website interactions;
• technical performance; and
• conversion or enquiry trends.

Analytics information may be processed by the relevant service provider on behalf of the website or independently according to that provider’s applicable terms.

The specific analytics services used by the website may change over time.

26. Google Analytics and Similar Tools

Where Google Analytics or another analytics platform is implemented, the relevant service may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about website activity.

Such information may help Sri Shyam Industries understand how visitors interact with the website and identify opportunities to improve its content and functionality.

The handling of information by such services may also be subject to the relevant provider’s privacy documentation.

Sri Shyam Industries does not represent that Google Analytics or any particular analytics service will remain permanently active on the website.

27. Google Ads and Advertising Technologies

Sri Shyam Industries may use online advertising platforms, including search and display advertising services, to promote its products and services.

Where implemented, advertising technologies may use cookies or similar identifiers to:

• measure advertisement performance;
• identify visits generated through campaigns;
• measure conversions;
• understand campaign effectiveness;
• improve advertising relevance; and
• support remarketing or audience-related functions where permitted.

The actual technologies and advertising providers used by the website may change over time.

28. Remarketing and Retargeting

Where permitted and implemented, remarketing technologies may allow advertising platforms to show advertisements to users who have previously interacted with a website.

For example, a visitor who views a product page may subsequently see advertising related to the business or its products on another platform.

Such advertising is controlled partly by the relevant advertising provider and is subject to its applicable policies and settings.

Where consent is legally required for such technologies, they should only be used in accordance with the applicable consent requirements.

29. Social Media Technologies

The website may contain social-media buttons, embedded content or other integrations provided by third-party platforms.

These platforms may use cookies or similar technologies when their content or functionality is loaded.

Examples may include:

• social-sharing features;
• embedded videos;
• social-media widgets;
• social-media advertising tools; and
• other third-party integrations.

The relevant social-media provider may collect information according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Users should review the applicable third-party policies if they have concerns about how such platforms process information.

30. Embedded Content

Certain website pages may contain content supplied by external providers.

Examples can include:

• videos;
• maps;
• forms;
• images;
• social-media content;
• document viewers; or
• other embedded services.

When embedded content is loaded, the third-party provider may use cookies or similar technologies.

Sri Shyam Industries does not necessarily control the cookies or data-processing practices of those external providers.

31. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Third-party services operating through the website may have their own privacy and cookie policies.

These policies may explain:

• what information the provider collects;
• how cookies are used;
• how long information is retained;
• how information is shared;
• what choices are available; and
• how users can exercise applicable rights.

Visitors should review the relevant third-party policies where they wish to understand the processing performed directly by those providers.

32. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods depending upon their purpose.

Some cookies may expire when the browsing session ends.

Others may remain for a longer period to remember preferences, measure website usage or support other functions.

The retention period may be determined by Sri Shyam Industries or by the relevant third-party provider.

Cookie lifetimes may also change when technologies or website configurations are updated.

33. Deleting Cookies Does Not Delete Other Information

Deleting cookies from your browser does not necessarily delete other information that may have been collected through separate systems.

For example, information submitted voluntarily through an enquiry form may be handled separately from browser cookies.

Where personal information is collected, its handling is governed by the website’s Privacy Policy and applicable law.

34. Cookies on Mobile Devices

Cookies and similar technologies may also be used when visitors access the website through smartphones and tablets.

Mobile browsers generally provide settings that allow users to control or delete cookies.

Certain applications, embedded services or mobile technologies may use identifiers or technologies that operate differently from traditional browser cookies.

Users should review their device and browser settings to understand the available controls.

35. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers and devices may provide “Do Not Track” or similar privacy settings.

Because there is currently no universal technical standard governing how all websites must respond to such signals, the website may not necessarily respond to every Do Not Track setting in the same manner.

Where applicable law requires a particular response to a recognized privacy signal, Sri Shyam Industries will seek to comply with the relevant legal requirements.
