Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 12 May 2025 · Effective: 12 May 2025
This policy explains how Gemilang uses cookies on gemilangis.sbs, what each type of cookie does, and how you can control your preferences. We keep our cookie use minimal and purposeful.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have seen a notice — so that your next visit or continued session can work as intended.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses. They are widely used across websites and, where used appropriately, are a normal part of how websites function.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in the following limited ways:
- To remember your cookie consent preference so we do not ask repeatedly
- To understand in aggregate how visitors use our website (pages visited, time spent, general location by country), which helps us improve the experience for everyone
- To ensure the website functions correctly across sessions where technical state needs to be maintained
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or sharing data with advertising networks. We do not build profiles of individual visitors.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The cookies on our website fall into the following categories:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to work. They cannot be disabled without affecting how the site functions. They include cookies that remember your privacy preferences and cookies that maintain session integrity during your visit.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| gemilang_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent choice so the banner does not reappear | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier for maintaining page state | Session (deleted on close) |
3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website in aggregate. The data collected is anonymised — we cannot identify individual visitors from it. Analytics cookies are only placed where you have given consent via our cookie banner.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors (anonymised) | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — maintains session state for analytics | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors within 24-hour periods | 24 hours |
4. Cookies We Do Not Use
For clarity, we do not use:
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Social media tracking cookies
- Third-party remarketing pixels
- Any cookies that track you across other websites
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear giving you the choice to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always active and cannot be declined.
If you wish to change your preference after your initial choice, you can clear the gemilang_cookie_consent cookie from your browser's settings, and the banner will reappear on your next visit.
5.1 Browser Controls
Most browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically block all cookies, allow only certain types, or delete cookies that have already been set. The steps vary by browser; guidance is usually available in your browser's help section. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect the operation of the website.
6. Third-Party Services
If analytics cookies are accepted, data is processed by Google Analytics under their own privacy terms. Google Analytics is configured on our site with IP anonymisation enabled. We do not share any data derived from analytics cookies with other third parties. For more information about how Google handles analytics data, you can visit policies.google.com.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will note the date of the most recent revision at the top of this page. If we add new categories of cookies, we will update the banner accordingly and seek fresh consent where required.
