Cookies Policy
Last updated: 20 September 2026
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your browser or device. In Singapore these tools may collect data that qualifies as personal data under the Personal Data Protection Act if the information can identify an individual directly or indirectly.
Why the site uses them
Webindly operates a non-commercial informational website focused on luxury apartment selection programming. Cookies help deliver core functions such as remembering your language preference, maintaining a secure session and measuring how visitors interact with articles and reviews. Without these tools some pages would not function correctly and the site could not provide the intended user experience.
Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising and social-media categories
Strictly necessary cookies enable basic site operation including security and session management. Functional cookies remember choices such as display settings. Analytics cookies gather aggregated statistics on page views and navigation patterns. Advertising cookies are not used on this site because it is non-commercial. Social-media cookies may appear if embedded sharing buttons from third-party platforms are present, although the site minimises such integrations.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Webindly and stay within the domain you are visiting. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services that help measure performance. The site prefers first-party cookies where possible and only introduces third-party tools when they serve a clear operational purpose.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention
Session cookies expire when you close the browser and do not retain information after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically between thirty days and two years depending on the purpose. Retention periods are kept to the minimum necessary for the stated function and are reviewed regularly.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Strictly necessary cookies handle session identifiers and security tokens to prevent unauthorised access. Functional cookies store preferences such as font size or layout choice. Analytics cookies record page visits, referral sources and device type in aggregated form to improve content relevance. No advertising cookies are deployed. Any social-media cookies would only capture interaction data if you actively use a sharing feature.
Consent or exemption basis under Singapore law
Under the Personal Data Protection Act and related guidelines, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent because they are essential for the site to function. All other categories require consent which is obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal. The site does not rely on legitimate interests for cookie deployment.
Cookie categories and typical durations
The following list summarises the main cookie types used: strictly necessary cookies last for the duration of the session; functional cookies may persist for up to one year to retain user preferences; analytics cookies typically expire after thirteen months; any social-media cookies follow the retention policies of the respective platform and are deleted when consent is withdrawn.
How the consent manager works
The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept all categories, reject non-essential categories or customise choices. Selections are stored for twelve months unless you clear browser data. You can reopen the banner from the footer or privacy settings page to change or withdraw consent at any time. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not disable core site features.
Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent login functions or form submissions. Blocking analytics cookies reduces the site ability to measure performance but does not affect content access. Instructions for common browsers are available on their official support pages; the exact steps vary by version and device.
International transfers and reference to the Privacy Policy
Some analytics providers may process data outside Singapore. In such cases appropriate safeguards consistent with the Personal Data Protection Act are applied. For full details on data handling practices please refer to the separate Privacy Policy accessible from the footer.
