Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025 · Raku Room, Kuala Lumpur
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Raku Room ("we", "us", "our") uses them on rakuroom.blog (the "Site"), and what choices you have regarding their use. Reading this policy alongside our Privacy Policy will give you a fuller picture of how we handle your information.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information — such as your preferences or whether you have accepted our cookie notice. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are assigned uniquely to you and can only be read by the web server on the domain that issued them.
Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — serve related purposes and are covered by this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes, described below. Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the operation of our Site, we ask for your consent before placing them.
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, remembering your cookie preferences, and maintaining the security of any session. You cannot opt out of essential cookies because without them parts of the Site would not work.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our Site — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and how they arrive. This helps us improve the experience over time. Analytics cookies collect information in an aggregated, non-personally identifying form.
2.3 Marketing and Tracking Cookies
If you arrive at our Site through a paid advertisement, we may use tracking pixels (such as the Meta Pixel or the Microsoft Advertising tag) to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. These cookies may recognise your device across sites. They are only placed with your consent.
2.4 Preference Cookies
These remember choices you have made on the Site — for example, your cookie consent decision — so that you are not asked again on each visit.
3. Cookies We Use
The table below lists the main cookies that may be set on your device when you visit our Site.
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|

Essential / Preference | Stores your cookie consent choice so the notice is not shown again. | 1 year |

This list may be updated as our use of cookies changes. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy when we do so.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages — for example, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and the Google Maps embed on our homepage. These third parties have their own privacy policies and cookie practices, which we do not control. We encourage you to review their policies if you have concerns about how they handle your data.

5. Your Choices
When you first visit our Site, you are shown a cookie notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting the Site, which will trigger the notice again.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies stored on your device and delete them individually or in bulk.
- Block all cookies, or block cookies from specific sites.
- Be notified when a cookie is about to be placed, so you can decide whether to accept it.
Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Site. Guidance on managing cookies in common browsers can be found at aboutcookies.org.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that sends a signal to websites you visit. We currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals because there is no agreed industry standard for what websites should do when they receive them. We will revisit this position as standards develop.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in the law, or for other operational reasons. The updated version will always be available on this page, and the "Last updated" date will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
