Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 1 May 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Sinar Compass uses cookies and similar storage technologies on our website. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can review and adjust your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser across pages and, in some cases, across separate visits. Cookies serve a range of purposes — from keeping a website functioning correctly to helping operators understand how visitors use their site.
Beyond cookies, websites may also use related technologies such as localStorage (a browser-side storage mechanism that holds data locally on your device). Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include both browser cookies and localStorage entries unless otherwise specified.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use a small number of cookies and local storage items on this website. Our use is limited to what is necessary for the site to function and for us to understand basic, anonymous patterns of use. We do not use cookies to build personal profiles, serve advertising, or track individuals across other websites.
The categories below describe our current use:
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary — These are required for the website to function. They cannot be turned off. They include items such as your cookie consent preference (stored in localStorage so the notice does not reappear on every visit).
Analytics (Optional) — Where enabled, these cookies allow us to collect anonymous data about how visitors move through the website — such as which pages are visited and in what order. This helps us improve the site over time. No personally identifying information is collected through analytics cookies.
Functional (Optional) — These cookies remember choices you have made (such as a language preference) to give you a more consistent experience across pages. Disabling them will not break the site but may reduce convenience.
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sc_cookie_consent | Strictly Necessary | Records that you have acknowledged the cookie notice, so it does not appear on every page visit. | localStorage (persists until cleared) |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics (Optional) | Google Analytics — anonymous visitor count and navigation data. Used only if analytics cookies are accepted. | Up to 2 years |
| sc_lang_pref | Functional (Optional) | Stores a language or display preference if selected. Currently a reserved key; not yet active. | 30 days |
4. Your Cookie Preferences
You can review and adjust your optional cookie preferences below. Strictly Necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for basic site operation. Your choices are saved in your browser's localStorage.
Strictly Necessary
These cookies keep the website working correctly and remember your consent decision. They are not optional and do not require your consent under applicable law.
Analytics Cookies
Anonymous data about page visits and navigation patterns. Helps us understand how the site is used and improve it over time. No personal information is collected.
Functional Cookies
Preferences such as display settings that make the site more convenient across visits. Disabling these will not prevent you from using the site.
5. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
In addition to the controls above, you can manage cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific sites. Deleting stored cookies will reset your preferences on this site, and the cookie notice will reappear on your next visit.
Instructions for common browsers:
- Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Please be aware that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including this one.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Where we use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, those services may set their own cookies on your device. These third-party cookies are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the respective providers. We encourage you to review those policies if you wish to understand how those providers handle data.
We do not permit third-party advertising cookies on this website.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of technologies changes or as legal requirements evolve. The updated policy will be published here with a revised "Last Updated" date. We recommend checking this page periodically if cookie use is a matter of concern to you.
