Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep sessions secure, and understand how readers use our editorial content. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. We use the term "cookies" to refer to all such technologies unless stated otherwise.

2. How we use cookies

singaporescope.pro uses cookies to operate the website, remember your cookie consent choices, and — with your permission — analyse traffic patterns to improve our AI and technology news coverage. We do not use cookies to sell personal data. Our cookie banner offers Accept all, Reject all, and Customise options. Your choice is stored for six months, after which we will ask you to confirm your preferences again.

3. Cookie categories

3.1 Essential cookies (always active)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as security, network management, sidebar navigation state, and storage of your cookie consent decision. You cannot opt out of essential cookies because the site would not work correctly without them. Duration: session to six months depending on the specific cookie.

3.2 Analytics cookies (optional)

With your consent, we may use analytics tools to collect aggregated information about page views, referral sources, device types, and reading patterns. This helps our editorial team understand which technology beats resonate with readers. Analytics data is pseudonymised where possible. Typical retention: up to twenty-six months. Vendors may include privacy-focused analytics providers configured for minimal data collection.

3.3 Marketing cookies (optional)

Marketing cookies, if enabled, may measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns linking to our editorial content. We do not run aggressive retargeting funnels or income-course advertisements. Marketing cookies are off by default and only activate when you choose Accept all or enable them in Customise. Duration: up to six months unless you withdraw consent earlier.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services embedded in our pages, such as font delivery networks or analytics platforms. These parties have their own privacy policies. We select vendors with reasonable data protection practices and configure them to minimise personal data collection where technically feasible.

5. Managing your preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser local storage for singaporescope.pro and revisiting the site to see the consent banner again, or by adjusting settings in the Customise panel when the banner is visible. Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality, including form submissions and navigation preferences.

To opt out of analytics specifically, reject analytics cookies in our banner or enable "Do Not Track" in your browser — we honour applicable signals where technically supported.

6. Local storage

We store your cookie consent record in local storage under the key singaporescope_cookie_consent. This record includes your choice (accept, reject, or custom), analytics and marketing flags, and an expiry timestamp six months from the date of consent. No personal identifiers are stored in this record.

7. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new tools or change vendors. Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. We encourage periodic review.
