Cookie Policy — Singapore
Last updated: 18 July 2026 · This page explains what Sitetals.com stores on your device, in the context of Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA)
Who we are
Sitetals.com is operated by QUIKFORGE LIMITED (trading as Sitetals), a company incorporated in Hong Kong (BR No. 79555262). Registered office: Unit 2A, 17/F, Glenealy Tower, No.1 Glenealy, Central, Hong Kong S.A.R. Director: Olivier Jobert. Contact: legal@sitetals.com
Data Protection Officer (DPO). Pursuant to section 11(3) of the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 ("PDPA"), QUIKFORGE LIMITED has designated Olivier Jobert as its Data Protection Officer. In accordance with section 11(5) of the PDPA, the DPO's business contact information is published here: legal@sitetals.com.
Scope of this policy
The PDPA contains no standalone "cookie law": storage technologies fall within its scope where they are used to collect, use or disclose personal data. This policy explains, for visitors in Singapore, what we store on your device, whether any personal data is involved, and how you can manage your choice. Our handling of personal data generally is set out in our Singapore Privacy Policy.
What we store on your device
We use exactly one storage entry on this website. It is a browser localStorage entry — not an HTTP cookie:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent |
Strictly necessary (localStorage) | Records whether you accepted or declined our cookie notice, together with a timestamp and the version of this policy | 12 months — after that the notice is shown again and your choice is renewed |
This entry does not track you. It contains only your choice (accepted/declined), a timestamp and the policy version. It does not identify you, is not shared with any third party and never leaves your device — we do not receive or store a copy of it on our servers. Because it contains no personal data and only records a functional preference, it does not itself involve any collection, use or disclosure of personal data under the PDPA.
What we do NOT use (currently)
- No analytics service (no Google Analytics, Matomo, or similar)
- No social media tracking pixels
- No Google Fonts from external CDN — all fonts are self-hosted
- No third-party tracking scripts
Note on advertising: We may add advertising (such as Google AdSense) in the future. If we do, this policy will be updated and a fresh consent mechanism will be implemented before any advertising or tracking technology is activated — with declining as easy and as visible as accepting.
Embedded videos (YouTube)
A few of our blog articles include videos hosted on YouTube. To protect your privacy these videos do not load automatically. Each appears as a static placeholder that sends no data to YouTube or Google, and the placeholder itself tells you, before any connection is made, that clicking will load the video from YouTube (Google), set YouTube/Google cookies and transmit your IP address to Google, including to servers in the United States.
Only when you actively click the placeholder does your browser connect directly to youtube-nocookie.com (YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode). At that point YouTube/Google may set cookies on your device, receive your IP address and collect device information — a transmission of data from your device to Google's servers outside Singapore, governed by Google's Privacy Policy. If you do not click, no connection to YouTube or Google is made.
Managing or withdrawing your choice
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time, with immediate effect:
- One-click reset on this page: the button below deletes the stored entry immediately. The notice will be shown again on the next page you open. This page is linked in the footer of the Singapore pages of this site.
- Browser settings: alternatively, clear the localStorage for this domain in your browser's privacy settings.
✓ Done — your stored choice has been deleted. The notice will appear again on the next page you open.
Because the entry described above is strictly necessary, accepting or declining has no effect on site functionality — everything works identically either way.
Retention and renewal
The cookie_consent entry is kept for 12 months. After that, it is treated as expired, deleted, and the notice is shown again so that your choice is renewed.
Your rights and complaints
Your rights of access and correction under the PDPA (sections 21–22), our retention practices, and our complaint process are set out in our Singapore Privacy Policy. Requests and complaints may be addressed to the DPO at legal@sitetals.com. If your concern is not resolved, you may lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) at pdpc.gov.sg.
Changes to this policy
If we materially change our storage practices or introduce new technologies, we will update this policy and, where required, seek your renewed consent before any new technology is activated.
