Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Fjord Office ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at fjordoffos.life (the "Website"). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to manage their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out the broader framework for how we handle personal information under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia).

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to help websites function, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators.

Cookies are not programmes; they cannot run code, carry viruses, or access information on your device beyond what you have shared with the website that set them. Their lifespan varies: some expire when you close your browser ("session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a set period ("persistent cookies").

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — these serve comparable purposes to cookies and are covered by this policy.

3. How We Use Cookies

Fjord Office uses a minimal set of cookies. Our aim is to keep the Website functional and to understand, in aggregate, how visitors navigate it. We do not use cookies for advertising targeting or for cross-site behavioural tracking.

The categories below describe the types of cookies we use and their purposes.

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to function. They enable core features such as navigation, form submission, and your cookie preference settings. They cannot be disabled without affecting the basic operation of the Website. No consent is required for their placement under applicable law.

3.2 Analytical / performance cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. The data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. We use this information to improve the Website over time.

3.3 Preference cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent decision. Without them, your preferences would need to be set again on each visit.

4. Cookies We Place

The table below lists the specific cookies currently in use on this Website.

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
fo_cookie_consent	Preference	Records whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies, so we do not display the consent notice on every visit.	12 months
_ga	Analytical	Used by Google Analytics to distinguish unique visitors. Data is anonymised and used solely in aggregate to understand site usage patterns.	24 months
_ga_*	Analytical	Used by Google Analytics to persist session state across page loads.	24 months
PHPSESSID	Strictly necessary	A session identifier used by the web server to maintain continuity between page requests. Expires when you close your browser.	Session

We review this list at least annually and will update it as our use of cookies changes.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this Website are placed by third-party services we use. We do not control these cookies; they are subject to the privacy policies of the organisations that set them.

Current third-party services that may place cookies when you visit our Website:

• Google Analytics (Google LLC) — used to measure aggregate Website traffic. Google's data processing terms apply. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Google Maps — an interactive map is embedded on the Website to display our office location. If you interact with the map, Google may set cookies governed by Google's privacy policy.

We do not use third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or affiliate tracking cookies.

6. Your Choices

You have several ways to manage cookies:

6.1 Our consent notice

When you first visit this Website, a notice invites you to accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytical and preference cookies). You may change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting the Website, which will display the notice again.

6.2 Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. The steps vary by browser; you can typically find guidance in your browser's help section or via resources such as allaboutcookies.org. Please note that blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of many websites, including this one.

6.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" setting that sends a signal to websites you visit. There is no universally agreed standard for responding to this signal; our Website does not currently alter its behaviour based on Do Not Track requests.

7. Cookies and Personal Data

Where cookies collect or process personal data — for example, when analytical data is associated with an identifiable individual — such processing is governed by the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia) and our Privacy Policy.

Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of legitimate interest in providing a functioning website. Analytical and preference cookies are placed only with your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time using the methods described in Section 6.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our own practices. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Where changes are material, we will display a notice on the Website.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
