Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 1 June 2025

This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use on the Tanjong Forge website, and how you can manage your preferences. We aim to be straightforward about this.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice — so that the experience can work correctly on your next visit.

Cookies are widely used and generally harmless. You can control them through your browser settings or through the preference controls on this page.

2. Cookies We Use

We use four categories of cookies:

Essential cookies — always active. These are required for the website to function. They include session management and security cookies. They cannot be disabled without breaking the site.

  • Session cookie: manages your current browsing session. Deleted when you close your browser.
  • Cookie consent record: remembers your cookie preferences. Persists for 12 months.

Analytics cookies — optional. These help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited most and how long people spend on them. The data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

  • Google Analytics: tracks page views, session duration, and traffic sources. Data retained for up to 14 months.

Marketing cookies — optional. These may be used to track visits across websites, to help us understand the effectiveness of any promotional activity we run. We do not currently run paid advertising.

Preference cookies — optional. These remember your settings so you do not need to re-enter them on return visits, such as your language or region preference.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, including:

  • Google Analytics — usage data. Governed by Google's privacy policy.
  • Google Maps — if you interact with our embedded map, Google may set cookies. Governed by Google's privacy policy.

We do not control these third-party cookies directly. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will limit these where possible.

4. Cookie Duration

  • Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: remain for a set period. Our consent cookie lasts 12 months. Analytics cookies as described above.
