Cookie Policy

1. Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how Daily Dispatch Media ("Daily Dispatch") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://dailydispatch.pro. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Our registered office is 120 Robinson Road, #14-01, Singapore 068913.

We keep cookie use minimal. We do not deploy advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels or third-party analytics scripts on this website. Google Ads may measure ad performance independently when you arrive from an advertisement; that measurement occurs within Google's systems, not through cookies we set for tracking purposes.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage entries in your browser. Cookies can be "session" cookies deleted when you close the browser, or "persistent" cookies that remain until they expire or you delete them.

3. How we use cookies

3.1 Essential cookies and storage

When you choose cookie preferences in our banner, we store your selection in browser local storage under the key dd_cookie_consent. This storage is necessary to remember your choice on subsequent visits and to avoid showing the banner repeatedly. It does not track browsing behaviour across other websites.

3.2 Functional cookies (optional)

If you click "Accept all" in our cookie banner, we load an embedded Google Map on the contact page. Google may set cookies or collect usage data according to its own policies. The map iframe remains hidden until you grant functional consent. If you choose "Essential only", the map container stays inactive and we display a text link to open Google Maps externally.

3.3 What we do not use

We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising, retargeting, A/B testing platforms, social widgets or cross-site profiling. Our JavaScript file (/js/main.js) manages navigation, cookie consent and map loading only.

4. Cookie duration

Essential preference storage persists until you clear browser site data or until we change the storage key in a site update, in which case the banner will appear again. Google Maps cookies, if any, follow Google's published retention schedules and are outside our direct control once you opt in to functional loading.

5. Cookie preference controls

You can change your choice at any time by clearing site data for https://dailydispatch.pro in your browser settings and reloading the page; the cookie banner will reappear. You may also configure your browser to block all cookies, though essential site functions may be affected.

Most browsers provide help pages describing cookie management. Refer to documentation for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge for step-by-step instructions.

6. Third-party cookies

Google Maps is the only third-party service on this site that may set cookies after you opt in. Google's privacy policy and cookie documentation apply to that interaction. We do not control Google's data practices and encourage you to review them at policies.google.com.

7. Local storage details

The consent key dd_cookie_consent stores one of two string values: all (essential plus functional map loading) or essential (banner dismissed without map). The value persists until you clear site data. We do not use this key to identify you across other websites.

We do not store consent choices in server-side cookies because this site does not operate a reader login system. All preference data remains on your device unless you contact us separately through the enquiry form.

8. Do Not Track signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because industry standards for responding to such signals are inconsistent, we currently rely on the explicit choices you make in our cookie banner rather than automatic DNT interpretation.

9. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change site functionality or legal requirements. Check the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
