This Cookies Policy explains how Peregrine Group Limited (operator of Peregrine Ship, "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on peregrineship.com. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers the broader handling of your personal data.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (sign-in, language, page state) over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them on every page or every return visit. We also use related technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage, all referred to here as "cookies" for simplicity.
Why we use them
- Keep the site running: route requests, hold session state, protect against fraud.
- Remember your preferences across visits.
- Measure how the site is used so we can improve it.
- Show you relevant Peregrine Ship ads after you leave the site and measure those campaigns.
Categories of cookies we use
1. Strictly necessary
Required for the site to function. These cannot be disabled through our consent banner because the site will not work properly without them. They generally do not store anything that personally identifies you.
- Session cookies: short-lived cookies that hold your browsing state while you move between pages.
- CSRF tokens: protect forms and authenticated actions from cross-site request forgery.
- Authentication cookies: set on platform.peregrineship.com once you sign in, so you stay signed in across pages.
- Load balancing: route your traffic to the right server in our infrastructure.
- Consent state:
pg_cookie_consentstores your cookie banner choice in your browser's local storage so we don't ask again on every visit.
2. Functional
Optional cookies that remember your preferences and improve the experience. The site still works without them, but small things may reset between visits.
- Locale and language preference.
- UI preferences such as collapsed sections or dismissed notices.
3. Analytics
Optional cookies that help us understand how visitors find and use the site, so we can prioritise the right improvements. We do not use analytics data to identify individual visitors.
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4):
_ga,_ga_*,_gid,_gat. Tracks page views, sessions, traffic sources, and on-site behaviour. Set by Google. - Meta (Facebook) Pixel:
_fbp,_fbc. Attributes site visits and conversions to ads we run on Facebook and Instagram. Set by Meta.
4. Marketing
Optional cookies used to show you Peregrine Ship ads on other platforms after you visit the site (remarketing) and to measure how those ads perform.
- Meta Pixel:
_fbp,_fbc. Used for remarketing on Facebook and Instagram. - Google Ads:
_gcl_au,NID,IDE. Used for remarketing across the Google Display Network and YouTube.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties we work with, not by Peregrine Ship directly. We do not control how those parties operate. Where applicable, their own privacy and cookie notices apply in addition to ours.
- Google: GA4 analytics and Google Ads. See Google's cookies overview.
- Meta Platforms: Meta Pixel for Facebook and Instagram advertising. See Meta's cookies policy.
- Stripe: payment processing on checkout and on platform.peregrineship.com. Stripe sets cookies for fraud detection. See Stripe's cookies policy.

__cf_bmcookie.
How long cookies last
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: stay on your device for a defined period (from a few days up to 24 months) or until you delete them.
- Analytics and marketing cookies are typically persistent. GA4's
_galasts up to 2 years. Meta's_fbplasts up to 90 days. - Your consent choice stored in
pg_cookie_consentpersists in your browser's local storage until you clear it or change your choice.
Your choices
Through our cookie banner
The first time you visit the site, a banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can:
- Accept all: allows analytics and marketing cookies in addition to the strictly necessary ones.
- Decline non-essential: blocks analytics and marketing cookies. The site still works, and strictly necessary cookies still load.
To change your choice later, clear your browser's site data for peregrineship.com (or the pg_cookie_consent entry in local storage) and the banner will reappear on your next visit.
Through your browser
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, either site by site or across the board. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site (sign-in, forms, checkout) from working correctly. Instructions for the most common browsers:
Opt out of specific third parties
- Google Analytics: install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Google Ads personalisation: manage settings in your Google Ads preferences.
- Meta Pixel: adjust ad preferences in your Facebook ad settings.
- Interest-based ads from many networks at once: Digital Advertising Alliance and Your Online Choices (EU).
Do Not Track
There is no consistent industry or legal standard for how to respond to Do Not Track ("DNT") signals from browsers. We currently do not respond to DNT signals. Use the cookie banner or browser controls above to manage your preferences.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove a tool that sets cookies. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be flagged via the cookie banner so you can review and re-confirm your choice.
