Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how saksamalad ("we", "our", "the firm") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at saksamalad.world (the "Site"). Reading this policy will help you understand what cookies we place, why we place them, and how you may control their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes more broadly how we handle personal data.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember certain information about your preferences or actions.

Similar technologies — including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects — perform comparable functions and are collectively referred to as "cookies" throughout this policy.

Cookies are not executable programs and do not carry viruses. They are a widely used and generally recognised feature of modern websites.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• To ensure our Site functions correctly and securely (essential operation).
• To remember your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask you repeatedly.
• To understand how visitors navigate and use our Site, so we can improve it (analytics).
• To measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns we may run on third-party platforms (marketing), only with your consent.
• To remember certain preferences you may indicate during a session (preferences/functional).

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data, to build advertising profiles for sale to third parties, or for any purpose unrelated to the operation and improvement of this Site.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies on our Site as follows:

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function. Without them, services such as navigation, form submission, and security features cannot operate. They do not require your consent under applicable Malaysian law and cannot be disabled through our cookie banner.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site — which pages are most viewed, how long visitors stay, and where they arrive from. This information is used in aggregate form to improve content and navigation. These cookies are only placed with your consent.

3.3 Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to measure the performance of advertising campaigns and, where applicable, to show relevant advertisements to visitors on third-party platforms. These cookies are only placed with your consent.

3.4 Preference (Functional) Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the Site (such as language or display preferences) to provide a more personalised experience on return visits. They are placed only with your consent.

At present, our Site uses minimal preference cookies. If additional functional cookies are introduced in future, this policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Site are set by third parties rather than by us directly. These arise from services we integrate, including:

• Google Analytics / GA4 — web analytics service operated by Google LLC. Data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. Google is certified under applicable data transfer frameworks. More information is available at policies.google.com.
• Microsoft Bing Ads / UET — analytics and advertising service operated by Microsoft Corporation. More information is available at about.ads.microsoft.com.
• Meta Pixel — advertising and analytics service operated by Meta Platforms, Inc. More information is available at www.facebook.com/business/help.
• Google Maps — mapping service embedded on our contact page. Google may set cookies to support map functionality. More information is available at Google's privacy policy.

We do not control third-party cookies. These are governed by the respective third parties' privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review if you have concerns.

5. Your Consent

When you first visit our Site, a cookie banner invites you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is recorded in the cookieConsent cookie and will be respected for 12 months. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing this cookie from your browser settings — the banner will reappear on your next visit.

Essential cookies are placed without consent as they are strictly necessary for the Site to operate. All other categories require your affirmative consent before being placed.

Declining non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using any part of this Site or from contacting us.

6. Managing Cookies

You may control and manage cookies in several ways:

6.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification when a cookie is being set. The method varies by browser; guidance is typically found in the browser's help section. Common browsers and their cookie management pages include:

• Google Chrome — Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Microsoft Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions
• Safari — Preferences > Privacy

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this Site and other websites you visit.

6.2 Opt-Out Tools

You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For interest-based advertising from Google, you may visit adssettings.google.com. For Meta advertising, you may manage your preferences at www.facebook.com/adpreferences.

7. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies fall into two categories by duration:

• Session cookies — these exist only during your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies — these remain on your device for a fixed period (as stated in the tables above) or until you delete them manually.

The specific retention period for each cookie is set out in the tables in Section 3 above.

8. PDPA Compliance

Where cookies process personal data, we do so in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia) ("PDPA"). This includes obtaining consent before placing non-essential cookies, providing transparent information about our data processing practices, and honouring requests to withdraw consent.

Data collected through analytics and marketing cookies may be transferred to servers outside Malaysia (including the United States and Singapore) by our third-party providers. We rely on those providers' compliance with applicable international data transfer standards.

For further details on how we handle personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or other operational reasons. The date of the most recent revision is noted at the top of this page. Where changes are material, we will place a notice on our Site. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of this Site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
