Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Sustech Solutions Limited ("we", "us", "our"), operating this website at izharshah.com, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, the legal basis on which we rely, and your rights to control their use.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we process your personal data more broadly.
We are committed to being transparent about our use of cookies in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended.
1. Who We Are
The data controller for this website is:
Sustech Solutions Limited
86-90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE, UK
Website: www.izharshah.com
Contact: www.izharshah.com/contact
As data controller, we are responsible for deciding how personal data collected via cookies is used and for ensuring that use complies with applicable law. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, please use the contact details above.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies do not give us access to your device beyond the specific information they store. They cannot carry viruses or execute code. They typically store either a unique identifier linked to your browsing session, or small pieces of preference or behaviour data.
In addition to cookies, this website may use similar technologies, including:
- Web beacons (pixel tags): small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails used to track whether a page or email has been opened
- Local storage: a browser mechanism for storing data beyond a single session, commonly used for site preferences
- Session storage: data held only for the duration of a browser session and deleted when the browser is closed
For the purposes of this policy, all of the above are referred to collectively as "cookies".
3. Our Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Under PECR, we may only store cookies on your device if we have either a lawful exemption or your prior, informed consent.
Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement because they are essential to deliver a service you have explicitly requested (for example, logging in or completing a purchase). These do not require your consent under Regulation 6(4) of PECR.
For all other cookies — including analytics, functional, and marketing cookies — we rely on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent as the legal basis. You can withdraw that consent at any time (see Section 8).
Where cookies process personal data (such as an IP address, device identifier, or browsing behaviour), the legal basis under UK GDPR is also consent, unless another lawful basis applies.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take — such as logging in to your account, completing a purchase, or setting privacy preferences. They do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is required for those functions.
Consent required: No — exempt under PECR Regulation 6(4).
4.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymised or pseudonymised information about how visitors interact with the website — such as which pages are visited most frequently, time spent on pages, and any error messages encountered. This data helps us improve the performance and usability of the website. The information collected does not directly identify any individual.
Consent required: Yes.
4.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language preferences or previously viewed content) to provide a more personalised experience. They may also support embedded third-party features. If these cookies are disabled, some or all of these functions may not work correctly.
Consent required: Yes.
4.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set by this website or by third-party advertising partners. They are used to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant content or advertisements on this and other websites. They identify your browser and device uniquely. We do not sell personal data to third parties. If you do not allow these cookies, you may still see advertising, but it will be less relevant to your interests.
Consent required: Yes.

6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are set by third-party services we use to operate and improve the website. We do not control how these third parties set or use cookies. We encourage you to review their privacy and cookie policies directly:
- Kajabi: Our website and course platform sets cookies necessary for site operation, member authentication, and checkout processing. See Kajabi's Privacy Policy.
- PayPal: Used for secure payment processing. PayPal and its subsidiary Braintree may set cookies during checkout for session security and fraud prevention. See PayPal's Privacy Policy (UK).
- Google Analytics: Used to understand how visitors use the website. Google may process data on servers outside the UK. Where this occurs, transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses. See Google's Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Opt-out.
- Embedded content: If this website embeds third-party content such as videos, social media posts, or other media, those providers may set their own cookies when the content loads. These are subject to the respective providers' own policies.
Where any third-party service transfers personal data outside the UK, we take steps to verify that appropriate safeguards are in place, in accordance with UK GDPR Chapter V requirements.
7. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies are either session cookies or persistent cookies:
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used to maintain continuity during a single browsing visit.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed, for a defined period or until you delete them manually. The duration of each persistent cookie is set out in the Cookie Inventory table above.
We do not retain cookie data for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
8. Your Consent and Cookie Choices
When you first visit this website, you will be presented with a cookie notice asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category.
Your consent is recorded on your current device and browser. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to set your preferences on each one separately.
Important: Under UK law, consent must be:
- Freely given — you must not be penalised for refusing non-essential cookies
- Specific — given separately for each category of cookie
- Informed — based on clear, accessible information
- Unambiguous — given by a clear affirmative act, not by pre-ticked boxes or inaction
Withdrawing consent: You can withdraw or change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of this website, or by contacting us at www.izharshah.com/contact. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before withdrawal.
