What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve various purposes, from remembering your preferences to helping us understand how people use our site. Most websites use cookies, and they are generally harmless.

This policy explains what cookies we use on sleek-express.com, why we use them, and how you can control them.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several reasons:

• Essential functionality: Some cookies are necessary for our website to work properly. Without them, certain features would not function.
• Remembering preferences: Cookies help us remember your choices, such as cookie consent preferences, so you do not have to set them every visit.
• Understanding usage: Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site, which pages are popular, and where people encounter difficulties.
• Improving performance: Data from cookies helps us identify and fix problems, making the site faster and more reliable.

Types of Cookies We Use

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as security and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the site would not work properly without them.

• See what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies

Impact of Blocking Cookies

If you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of our website may not work as intended. Essential functionality should remain available, but you may need to re-enter preferences, and some features may be limited.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting that requests websites not track your browsing activity. There is currently no standard for how websites should respond to these signals. Our site does not currently respond differently to Do Not Track requests, but you can control tracking through cookie settings and browser controls as described above.
