Cookies and browser storage
What this website keeps in your browser, and why.
Clear, item-by-item information about cookies and browser storage used by Caribbean Shipping Direct.
The short version
Small pieces of information, used for specific jobs.
This website keeps a small amount of information in your browser so that forms, security checks and planning tools can work, and so that it can remember a light or dark display choice. Some of it is a cookie. Some of it is browser storage. Both are listed below. When we last checked this website's pages and scripts, the only outside script they loaded was Cloudflare's security check, and only where that check is switched on. We found no advertising or social-media scripts. Optional traffic analytics are separate: they are only used if they have been switched on and you choose to allow them, and at the time of writing they are off. "We" means Caribbean Shipping Direct. The Privacy page says which company runs this website.
On your device
What the browser remembers for you.
These items remember a preference, preserve work in progress or carry a planning result into an enquiry.
Display choice (local storage)
Name: csd-theme. It remembers whether you chose the light or dark display. This website sets it when you use the theme button. It stays on that device until you clear your browser data.
csd-themeYour enquiry while you fill it in (session storage, and a saved copy on our server)
Names start with csd-enquiry:. They keep the answers you have typed into the enquiry form, so a refresh does not lose them. In your browser they are removed when you send the enquiry or start a new one; otherwise they go when you close the tab. The form can also save a draft on our server. When it does, the form tells you the draft is kept for up to 14 days, and it has a control to stop saving and delete the draft. Closing the tab does not delete that saved draft. The Privacy page explains how we use what you send us.
csd-enquiry:…up to 14 daysPlanning tool results (session storage)
Names: csd-tool:barrel-box-result, csd-service:barrel-box-plan, csd-tool:container-guide-result, csd-tool:household-inventory-result, csd-tool:shipping-planner-result, csd-tool:package-label-plan, csd-tool:destination-document-checklist and csd-tool:receiving-arrangement-result. They hold the result of a planning tool so you can carry it into an enquiry. This website sets them when you use that tool. They are removed when you choose to start a new enquiry. Sending an enquiry removes only the barrel and box result or the container result that matches it. Anything else goes when you close the tab.
csd-tool:…csd-service:…Security and sign-in
Storage that protects a form or private session.
These items are functional. They are not used to build an advertising profile.
Form protection (cookies)
Names begin with .AspNetCore.Antiforgery and .AspNetCore.Mvc.CookieTempDataProvider. The first helps confirm that a form was sent from this website. The second carries a short message from one page to the next in the customer workspace. This website sets them on pages with forms, and in the workspace. They use the standard settings of the software this website is built on. We have not set a different lifetime.
Security check on forms (Cloudflare Turnstile)
This is a security check that helps confirm a form is being sent by a person. Cloudflare, a third party, sets it. Where the check is switched on, your browser loads a script from challenges.cloudflare.com. Cloudflare sets and controls what the check stores, and it can change. We do not list it here. Please read Cloudflare's current documentation for what the check stores.
Customer workspace sign-in (cookie, only if you use it)
Name: __Host-CSD.CustomerWorkspace. It keeps you signed in to the private shipment workspace after you open the access link we send you. This website sets it only if workspace access has been switched on and you open such a link. It expires after a set number of hours; the default is 8 and it cannot be set above 24. Signing out removes it sooner. It is sent only to this website, only over a secure connection, and page scripts cannot read it.
Staff sign-in (cookies)
Name: __Host-CSD.Admin, plus a sign-in cookie if staff choose "remember me". It keeps authorised staff signed in to the private administration area. Staff are signed out after 30 minutes without activity.
Why this matters: blocking essential storage can stop a form remembering its answers or prevent a secure area from working as expected.
Optional analytics
A choice stays a choice.
Name: csd-consent-v1 (local storage). If you allow analytics, three more items are kept in session storage: csd-analytics-session, csd-analytics-landing and csd-analytics-acquisition-v2. They record your choice and, only if you allowed analytics, group page paths, broad referral and campaign details, active reading time, scroll depth, marked on-site searches, outbound hosts and enquiry journey events into one anonymous visit. They do not contain customer form contents. Your choice stays on that device until you clear your browser data. The three visit items go when you close the tab. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, optional analytics stay off and the allow button is disabled.
Your choices
If analytics have been switched on, the Privacy page shows a choice between "Essential only" and "Allow anonymous analytics". You can change it at any time. You can delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. Doing so may remove a half-finished enquiry, a saved planning result, your display choice and any analytics choice. If you block storage altogether, the forms and tools may not remember your answers between steps, and some may not work as expected.
Privacy signals
If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, optional analytics stay off and the allow option is disabled.
Clear or limit storage
You control what remains in your browser.
How to clear it
Every browser keeps cookies and site data in its settings, usually under privacy or security. Search that section for this website's address and remove what is listed. Closing the tab clears session storage on its own. If you cannot find the entries, clearing all site data for this website removes them. A draft saved on our server is not in your browser. Use the stop-saving control in the form, or contact us to ask us to delete it.
What this page does not cover
This page covers cookies and browser storage. How we use the details you send in an enquiry is on the Privacy page. Other websites, such as official customs pages we link to, are outside our control and may set their own cookies.
