Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Sekata ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit sekataa.info. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle your personal data more broadly.

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 preferred language or whether you have previously acknowledged a notice — making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry computer viruses. They are widely used across the internet and are regulated in Malaysia under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and related guidelines issued by the Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

2. How We Use Cookies

Sekata is a community-oriented website. We keep our use of cookies minimal. Cookies on this site fall into the following categories:

Category	Purpose	Examples	Duration
Essential	Necessary for the site to function. These cannot be switched off.	Cookie consent preference, session state	Session / 12 months
Analytics	Help us understand how visitors interact with our pages so we can improve the experience. Data is aggregated and not personally identifiable.	Google Analytics (GA4)	Up to 14 months
Marketing	Used to show relevant information about Sekata sessions on other platforms, where applicable. Only active if you have given consent.	Meta Pixel, Microsoft Advertising (UET)	Up to 90 days

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data, and we do not sell data derived from cookies to third parties.

3. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. They include:

• sekata_cookie_consent — Stores your cookie preference (accepted or declined) so we do not repeat the prompt on subsequent visits. Expires after 12 months.
• Session cookies used by the web server to maintain basic page continuity. These are deleted when you close your browser.

4. Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and which pathways are most common. This information helps us make the website easier to use and more relevant to what visitors are looking for.

GA4 uses anonymised data and, where applicable, IP anonymisation is enabled. We do not use GA4 to identify individual visitors. You can learn more about how Google handles analytics data at policies.google.com/privacy.

Analytics cookies are only placed if you have accepted optional cookies via our cookie notice.

5. Marketing Cookies

Where enabled, marketing pixels (such as the Meta Pixel and Microsoft Advertising UET tag) may record that you visited our website, so that Sekata information can be shown to you on other platforms. These cookies do not store information that directly identifies you by name.

Marketing cookies are only placed if you have given explicit consent via our cookie notice. If you decline, no marketing cookies will be set during your visit.

6. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit our website, a cookie notice will appear giving you the option to accept or decline optional cookies. Your choice is saved and respected on all future visits for up to 12 months.

You can update your preference at any time by:

• Clearing the cookie named sekata_cookie_consent from your browser storage, which will cause the notice to reappear on your next visit.
• Using your browser's built-in privacy controls to delete or block cookies from sekataa.info.
• Contacting us directly at [email protected] to request that any stored identifiers associated with your visit be removed.

Please note that blocking all cookies — including essential ones — may prevent some parts of the site from working as expected.

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari

8. Third-Party Services

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third parties' use of cookies, and their practices are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. Key third parties include:

• Google Analytics — analytics reporting
• Meta (Facebook) — marketing measurement
• Microsoft Advertising — marketing measurement
• Google Maps — embedded map on our contact page

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our own practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised whenever we make a meaningful change. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
