Cookies Policy
Last updated: 22 Sep 2026
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They store information such as your preferences, session details and browsing patterns. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can access or store data on your device in comparable ways. Under Singapore law these tools may collect identifiers, usage statistics and device information that can relate to individuals.
Why the Site Uses Cookies
Googelzo operates a commercial website offering legal services for entrepreneurs in programming and technology fields. Cookies enable core functions such as secure navigation, form submission through the contact page and maintenance of user sessions. They also support analytics to improve service delivery and comply with obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act.
Categories of Cookies We Deploy
We classify cookies into strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, advertising or targeting and social-media categories. Strictly necessary cookies allow basic site operation including security features and contact-form handling. Functional cookies remember choices such as language settings. Analytics cookies measure visitor interactions to refine content. Advertising cookies may track interest for targeted messages, while social-media cookies facilitate sharing features when present.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Googelzo and relate to our domain. Third-party cookies originate from external providers such as analytics services or content-delivery networks. Both types may be used, yet third-party cookies are limited to essential partners that adhere to Singapore data-protection standards.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies and Retention
Session cookies exist only while your browser remains open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically between thirty days and twenty-four months depending on purpose, after which they expire or are removed. Retention periods are chosen to balance functionality with data-minimisation principles.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Necessary cookies process identifiers required for site stability and security. Functional cookies store preference data to personalise navigation. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage metrics such as page views and referral sources. Advertising cookies may record interaction history for campaign measurement. All processing occurs under documented purposes aligned with our service offering.
Consent or Exemption Basis Under Singapore Law
The Personal Data Protection Act requires consent for collection and use of personal data unless an exception applies. Strictly necessary cookies operate under the legitimate-interests exception for service delivery. Other categories rely on prior consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
Cookie Providers and Durations
Our providers include internal systems for necessary cookies lasting the session, analytics partners with identifiers retained up to thirteen months, and functional tools storing preferences for up to one year. Detailed lists of active cookies are available through the consent manager interface on each visit.
How the Consent Manager Works
The cookie banner presented on first visit allows granular acceptance or rejection of non-essential categories. You can reopen the manager via a persistent link in the footer to review, modify or withdraw selections. Changes take effect immediately and are stored for future sessions on the same device.
Browser-Level Controls and Consequences
Most browsers permit blocking or deleting cookies through settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent contact-form submission and secure access. Blocking analytics cookies limits our ability to improve services but does not stop core functionality.
International Transfers
Some cookies may result in data transfer outside Singapore to jurisdictions with differing protection levels. We rely on contractual safeguards and refer users to the separate Privacy Policy for full transfer details and rights information.
