5. Categories of Cookies We May Use
5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the core operation, security or functionality of the website.
They may be used to:
- Load website pages;
- Maintain secure connections;
- Prevent fraud or malicious activity;
- Protect website forms;
- Remember cookie-consent choices;
- Maintain sessions;
- Process information submitted through forms;
- Support requested payment or checkout functions;

These cookies are not used for behavioural advertising.
Where legally permitted, strictly necessary cookies may be placed without prior consent because the website or requested feature may not function correctly without them. UK and EU guidance recognizes exceptions for technologies that are essential to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, although the exception must be assessed from the user’s perspective and limited to the necessary purpose.
5.2 Functional and Preference Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices and provide improved functionality.
They may remember:
- Language preferences;
- Display preferences;
- Previously selected options;
- Form progress;
- Region or country selections;
- Accessibility settings;
- Customer-support preferences.
If these cookies are disabled, some preferences may need to be selected again on future visits.
Where required by applicable law, functional cookies will be activated only after the user provides consent, unless they are strictly necessary for a feature requested by the user.
5.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website.
They may collect information such as:

- Traffic sources;
- Page-loading performance.
We may use this information to:
- Improve website navigation;
- Identify technical problems;
- Measure page performance;
- Understand which services visitors are interested in;
- Improve website content.
Where required by law, analytics cookies will not be activated until the user provides consent or another applicable legal exception has been properly implemented.
We do not intend to use analytics information to identify visitors personally unless this is clearly disclosed and legally permitted.
5.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to:
- Measure advertising campaigns;
- Understand whether an advertisement resulted in a website visit;
- Limit how often an advertisement is displayed;
- Create advertising audiences;
- Provide advertisements based on browsing activity;
- Support retargeting or remarketing campaigns.
These cookies may track activity across different websites and may be placed by third-party advertising providers.
Marketing and behavioural advertising cookies will not be activated before the required consent has been obtained.
We will not treat continued browsing, silence or a pre-selected checkbox as consent where active consent is legally required.
5.5 Payment and Fraud-Prevention Cookies
When a visitor initiates a payment, third-party payment providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Process the transaction;
- Authenticate the payment;
- Detect fraud;

Credit and debit card payments may be processed through Stripe or another authorized provider.
Other payment methods available through our services may include:
- Bank transfer;
- WeChat Pay;
- Alipay;
- USDT;
- Western Union.
Payment providers control their own cookies and process information under their own privacy and cookie policies.
Payment and security cookies that are essential to complete a transaction requested by the customer may be treated as strictly necessary where permitted by applicable law.
5.6 Customer-Support and Messaging Cookies
Our website may contain WhatsApp links, buttons or customer-support tools.
A basic external WhatsApp link may redirect the visitor to WhatsApp without placing a WhatsApp cookie on our website. However, an embedded chat widget or third-party messaging plugin may use cookies or scripts.
These technologies may be used to:
- Open a WhatsApp conversation;
- Remember chat preferences;
- Connect a visitor with customer service;
- Measure interactions with the support button;
- Prevent misuse of messaging services.
When you leave our website and use WhatsApp, your use of WhatsApp is governed by the applicable WhatsApp privacy and cookie terms.
5.7 Embedded Content Cookies
Our pages may contain embedded content such as:
- Videos;
- Maps;
- Social-media content;
- Tracking tools;
- Payment interfaces;
- External forms;
- Customer-support widgets.
Embedded content may allow the relevant third party to collect information about the visitor’s interaction with that content.
Where appropriate, embedded content may be blocked until the user consents or actively chooses to load the content.
6. Cookies Currently Used on Our Website
The exact cookies used on 1688delivery.com may change when we:
- Update WordPress;
- Change the website theme;
- Add or remove plugins;
- Change hosting or security providers;
- Add analytics tools;
- Install advertising pixels;
- Add payment features;
- Change contact or quotation forms.
The current cookie list, including cookie names, providers, purposes and expiry periods, should be displayed in the website’s Cookie Settings or Manage Consent panel.
The table should contain the following fields:
| Cookie | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie name | Website or third party | Necessary, functional, analytics or marketing | Explanation of use | Session or stated period |
We periodically review this list and update it when website technologies change.
7. How We Obtain Cookie Consent
When required, visitors will be shown a cookie banner when they first visit the website.
The banner should provide the following options:
- Accept All
- Reject Non-Essential
- Manage Preferences
The website should not load non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking cookies before the visitor makes a valid choice, except where an applicable legal exception has been properly implemented.
Visitors should be able to make separate choices for different cookie categories.
The cookie banner should not:
- Use pre-selected consent boxes;
- Treat scrolling as consent;
- make the rejection option unnecessarily difficult to find;
- Prevent access to the entire website solely because non-essential cookies were refused, except where legally justified.
EU guidance states that consent-requiring cookies should only be set after consent and that users should be able to give specific consent by purpose. It also states that withdrawal should be as easy as acceptance.
8. How to Change or Withdraw Consent
You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time through the Cookie Settings or Manage Consent link displayed on the website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookie use that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
After withdrawal:
- Relevant non-essential cookies will no longer be newly activated;
- Previously stored cookies may need to be deleted through the browser;
- Certain optional features may no longer work;
- Essential website functions should remain available.
The Cookie Settings link should remain accessible in the website footer.
9. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most internet browsers allow users to:
- View stored cookies;
- Delete individual cookies;
- Delete all cookies;
- Block cookies from specific websites;
- Block third-party cookies;
- Prevent all cookies;
- Delete cookies when the browser closes.
The steps vary between browsers and devices. Visitors should consult their browser settings or help documentation for instructions.
Blocking all cookies may affect:
- Contact forms;
- Cookie preference records;
- Security features;
- Payment functions;
- Embedded content;
- Website preferences.
10. Cookie Retention
Cookies may remain active:
- For the duration of a browsing session;
- Until a stated expiry date;
- Until the visitor deletes them;
- Until consent is withdrawn;
- Until the relevant provider removes or replaces them.
We aim to use retention periods that are proportionate to the stated purpose.
The exact duration of each active cookie should be shown in the Cookie Settings panel or cookie table.
11. Information Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the cookies accepted and the services enabled, information may include:
- IP address;

- Payment-session identifiers.
Some cookie information may constitute personal information when it identifies, relates to or can reasonably be linked with an individual.
Hong Kong’s PCPD notes that whether a cookie or online identifier constitutes personal data depends on all the circumstances, including whether the person can be identified directly or indirectly.
12. How Cookie Information May Be Used

We do not authorize third parties to use information received through our strictly necessary cookies for unrelated behavioural advertising.

Some cookie providers may process information outside Hong Kong, including in:
- Mainland China;
- The United Kingdom;
- The United States;
- The European Economic Area;
- Countries where hosting, payment, analytics or technology providers operate.
Data-protection standards may differ between countries.
Where required, we will take reasonable steps to use providers and safeguards appropriate to the transfer.

Some browsers or devices provide “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals.
Because industry standards and legal requirements may vary, our response to these signals may depend on:
- Applicable law;
- Browser support;
- The consent-management platform;
- The technologies used on the website.
Where a legally recognized opt-out signal applies to our activities, we will take reasonable steps to honour it.
Visitors can always use the Cookie Settings panel to reject non-essential cookies.
