1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have accepted our cookie notice — making subsequent visits smoother and more relevant to you.
Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be combined with other data we hold to identify you where you have provided that data to us directly.

- To ensure the website functions correctly (essential operation)
- To remember your cookie consent preferences
- To analyse how visitors navigate and use the website, so we can improve it
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing and understand where enquiries originate
We only use analytics and marketing cookies where you have given your consent via our cookie notice. You may update your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie notice will appear at the bottom of the page. You may accept all cookies, or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored for one year.
To change your preferences, you can:
- Clear your browser cookies, which will cause the notice to reappear on your next visit
- Use your browser's built-in cookie management tools to block or delete cookies at any time
- Opt out of Google Analytics tracking via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

6. Cookie Consent and Malaysia's PDPA
Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) applies to the personal data we process, including data collected via cookies when combined with identifying information. Where cookies process personal data, we rely on your consent as the legal basis, which you provide through our cookie notice.
Your consent is specific, informed, and freely given. You may withdraw it at any time by clearing your cookies and declining the notice on your next visit. This will not affect any processing that occurred before withdrawal.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Our website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, as there is no established Malaysian or international standard for interpreting them. We rely instead on our consent notice as the mechanism for managing your preferences.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly as we add or change services on our website. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last updated. Continued use of our website following any changes constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy.
