What cookies are

Small files the browser keeps between one page and the next.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a site. They allow the site to remember things between page loads, such as your form progress or a preference setting. Some cookies are necessary for the site to work; others are optional and used for measurement.

A cookie does not run programs and does not read other files on your device. It carries a short value the server can recognise on the next request — which is how a page remembers that you already started filling in an enquiry, or which view you prefer.

Related technologies such as local storage do the same job with a slightly different mechanism. Where this policy says “cookies”, the same explanation applies to those stored values as well.

Cookies we use

Two categories on this site — nothing else.

We use strictly necessary cookies for basic site functionality, such as submitting a form and maintaining security. If analytics tools are present, they set cookies used to understand which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. We do not use this site to serve personalised advertising, and we do not embed advertising pixels that track you across other sites.

Strictly necessary

Keeps the site working as written.

These cookies carry no marketing purpose. They let an enquiry form remember what you typed when you switch tabs, keep a session secure while you move between pages, and let the server know you have already confirmed a request.

Always on

These cannot be switched off without breaking the site.

Analytics

Shows which pages get read, in aggregate.

If an analytics service is present on this site, it sets a measurement cookie so we can see which guides and pages visitors actually use. The data is aggregated — we do not use it to identify you, and we do not build a profile of your activity outside straitsledger.sg.

Optional

Declining does not change what you can read or submit.

Advertising

Not used on this site.

This site does not carry advertising pixels and does not set cookies to follow you to other websites. If that ever changes, the change will be recorded on this page before it takes effect.

None set

Third-party cookies

One policy is not enough when the file is set by someone else.

Where a third-party service is used (for example, an analytics provider), that provider may set its own cookies in accordance with its own policy. We list the categories of third-party tools in use and update this page if a tool is added or removed. We do not sell cookie data.

Managing cookies

You control every file the browser stores.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely or per site, and to clear existing ones. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site, such as forms, from working correctly.

Blocking

Per site, or everywhere.

Browser privacy settings usually allow a rule for a single site as well as a blanket ban. A per-site rule is the safer setting when only one site is the concern.

Clearing

Delete what is already stored.

A stored list is visible from the browser's site-data panel. Deleting an entry signs the site out of that preference on the next visit and back to defaults.

Private modes

Session-only by default.

Private browsing windows usually drop their cookies when the window closes — a useful way to keep a session tidy on a shared computer.
