Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how SHYNE LIVESTOCK FARMS VENTURE uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and use our website.

We aim to be transparent about the technologies used by our website and to avoid describing technologies or tracking practices that are not actually implemented.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service and other applicable legal information published on this website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that a website may store on a visitor's device when the visitor accesses the website.

Cookies can be used for different purposes, including:

• helping a website function properly
• remembering preferences
• maintaining a session
• understanding how visitors use a website
• measuring website performance
• providing personalised content
• supporting advertising or marketing activities

Not every website uses all of these types of cookies.

The technologies used by a website may also include other forms of browser or device storage that perform functions similar to cookies.

3. Cookies Used by Our Website

At the time this policy was last updated, SHYNE LIVESTOCK FARMS VENTURE does not intentionally operate a website-wide analytics, advertising or marketing-cookie system.

The website does not currently use services such as:

• Google Analytics
• Meta Pixel
• advertising tracking pixels
• behavioural advertising cookies
• marketing cookies
• third-party advertising networks

We therefore do not describe these technologies as being active on the website when they are not part of the current implementation.

4. Browser Storage and Similar Technologies

Certain website functionality may use browser storage rather than traditional cookies.

For example, parts of the website may use session storage to support temporary website functionality, including product-display behaviour.

Session storage is different from a traditional cookie.

Information stored in session storage is generally associated with the current browser session and is not intended to function as an advertising or cross-site tracking mechanism.

The use of browser storage may change as the website's functionality develops.

Where a future feature introduces a materially different form of storage or tracking, this policy may be updated accordingly.

5. Essential Website Functionality

Some technologies may be necessary for the website to function correctly.

These technologies may support things such as:

• page functionality
• navigation
• temporary session-related behaviour
• user interactions
• displaying website content correctly

Where such technology is necessary for the operation of the website, disabling it may affect some website functionality.

We do not use the existence of essential website functionality as a basis for claiming that the website operates an advertising or behavioural-tracking system.

6. Analytics and Website Measurement

At the time this policy was last updated, the website does not have an implemented Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or similar third-party analytics platform that we have identified as being active on the site.

This means we do not currently describe visitor activity as being collected through a dedicated website analytics platform.

If analytics functionality is introduced in the future, this policy will be reviewed and updated to explain the relevant technology and its purpose.

7. Advertising and Marketing Cookies

The website does not currently operate a dedicated advertising-cookie or behavioural-marketing system.

We do not currently use the website to place advertising cookies for the purpose of building advertising profiles based on visitors' activity.

If this changes in the future, the relevant cookie and privacy information will be updated before or when the applicable functionality is introduced, as appropriate.

8. Contact Forms and Third-Party Services

Our website includes contact and enquiry functionality that may transmit information to third-party service providers used to process those enquiries.

The current contact form uses Formspree to process submitted form information.

Formspree is separate from the SHYNE website itself.

When a visitor submits a contact or enquiry form, information entered into that form is transmitted to the relevant third-party service for processing.

This Cookie Policy does not claim that Formspree uses no cookies or other technologies on its own systems.

Third-party services operate according to their own technologies and policies.

For information about how personal information submitted through our forms is handled, please refer to our Privacy Policy and the applicable policies of the relevant third-party service.

9. WhatsApp and External Services

Our website provides links that allow customers to contact SHYNE through WhatsApp.

Selecting a WhatsApp link takes the visitor to an external service operated separately from the SHYNE website.

The external service may use its own cookies, storage technologies or other technologies according to its own policies.

SHYNE does not control the technologies used by external platforms once a visitor leaves our website.

For this reason, this Cookie Policy should not be interpreted as a description of the cookie practices of WhatsApp or any other external platform.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites or services.

These may include links to:

• WhatsApp
• Google Maps
• social media platforms
• other external services relevant to our business

When you follow one of these links, you may leave the SHYNE website.

External websites operate independently and may use their own cookies, analytics systems, advertising technologies or other tracking mechanisms.

We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie information provided by those external services.

11. Google Maps

Our website may provide a Google Maps link to help customers locate our branch office.

The branch office is located at:

43 Queen St, Alagomeji-Yaba, Lagos 101245, Lagos

The Google Maps link is:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/382UTYuph2EkHbpu6

Following the Google Maps link takes you to a service operated by Google.

Google may use its own cookies or other technologies when you interact with its services.

Those technologies are controlled by Google and are not operated as part of SHYNE's own website cookie system.

12. Social Media Links

Our website may provide links to SHYNE's social media profiles, including:

• Facebook
• Instagram
• TikTok

These links direct visitors to external platforms.

The external platforms may use cookies, device storage and other technologies according to their own policies.

SHYNE does not control the technologies used by those platforms after a visitor leaves our website.

13. Managing Cookies and Browser Storage

Most modern web browsers provide settings that allow users to manage cookies and certain forms of browser storage.

Depending on the browser, you may be able to:

• view stored cookies
• delete cookies
• block cookies
• allow cookies only from selected websites
• clear website data
• control certain forms of site storage

The exact controls available depend on the browser and device being used.

Disabling certain website technologies may affect the functionality of some websites.

Because SHYNE does not currently operate a dedicated advertising or analytics-cookie system, changing browser cookie settings may not affect all website functionality in the same way.

14. Cookies and Personal Information

A cookie or similar technology may sometimes be capable of being associated with information about a visitor.

Our Privacy Policy explains how SHYNE handles personal information that customers provide through our website, including information submitted through our contact and enquiry forms.

The existence of a cookie or browser-storage technology does not by itself mean that SHYNE is collecting personally identifiable information through that technology.

Where personal information is collected, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection requirements.

15. Children's Privacy

Our website is not specifically directed toward children.

We do not intentionally use cookies or tracking technologies to build profiles of children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us through the website, please contact us so that we can review the circumstances.

16. Changes to Our Use of Cookies

The website may develop over time.

We may introduce new functionality, services or technologies that change how the website uses cookies or similar technologies.

If our cookie practices materially change, we will review and update this Cookie Policy as appropriate.

The “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this policy will indicate when the policy was most recently revised.

17. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

• changes to website functionality
• changes to technologies used by the website
• changes to third-party services
• changes to our privacy practices
• changes in applicable legal or regulatory requirements

When we update this policy, the revised version will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or how our website uses cookies or similar technologies, you can contact us through our official channels.

19. Important Notice

This Cookie Policy describes the cookie and similar-technology practices currently associated with the SHYNE LIVESTOCK FARMS VENTURE website as of the date stated above.

The website does not currently operate a dedicated analytics, advertising or behavioural-marketing cookie system.

This policy should not be interpreted as a guarantee that an external service linked from our website does not use cookies or similar technologies. External services operate according to their own systems and policies.

If the website's functionality or technology changes in a way that materially affects the use of cookies or similar technologies, this policy will be reviewed and updated as appropriate.

For information about how SHYNE handles personal information, please also refer to our Privacy Policy.
