Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 May 2025 · Effective: 14 May 2025
This policy explains how Sepadu Advisory uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It is issued in accordance with our obligations under the Malaysian Personal Data Protection Act 2010 and good practice for visitor transparency.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have accepted this cookie notice — and to gather anonymous usage data that helps us understand how the site is being used.
Cookies do not give us access to your computer or to any information beyond what you choose to share with us.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in three categories:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not collect personal information and are not used for tracking purposes. Examples include cookies that remember whether you have accepted this cookie notice, and session cookies that keep you logged in where login is required.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay, and where they arrive from. The data is aggregated and anonymised; we cannot use it to identify individual visitors. We use this information to improve the website. Analytics cookies are only activated with your consent.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences — such as the region you have indicated you are contacting us from — so that you do not need to re-enter information on return visits. Preference cookies are only activated with your consent.

6. Third-Party Cookies
We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymised usage data. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*) and processes data in accordance with Google's own privacy policy. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses before any data is transmitted to Google's servers.
We do not use third-party advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies or retargeting cookies.
