Cookies Policy
Introduction
This Cookies Policy explains how mediavibelo uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It applies to visitors in Singapore and was last updated on 25 September 2026. As a commercial platform offering Course Health resources, we rely on these tools to deliver services effectively while respecting the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) of Singapore. The policy covers all categories of cookies, their purposes, retention periods, and your choices. We encourage you to read it alongside our Privacy Policy for complete transparency on data handling.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files stored 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 access or store information such as device identifiers, browsing patterns, and session data. Under Singapore law, these may constitute personal data if they can identify you directly or indirectly. They do not inherently contain viruses but can track usage to improve functionality or deliver targeted content.
Why the Site Uses Cookies
We deploy cookies to operate the Course Health platform smoothly, analyse user engagement with educational materials, and support commercial features such as course recommendations. Essential cookies ensure security and basic navigation while others enable performance monitoring and limited advertising. Without them, core functions like login persistence or form submissions would fail, affecting your experience on a site serving Singapore-based learners.
Cookie Categories We Employ
Strictly necessary cookies handle authentication and cart functions for course purchases. Functional cookies remember preferences such as language or progress tracking in health modules. Analytics cookies measure page views and completion rates to refine content. Advertising cookies support targeted promotions for new courses, and social media cookies facilitate sharing of health resources if integrated. Each category serves distinct operational needs aligned with PDPA consent requirements.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies originate directly from mediavibelo and manage site-specific tasks like session maintenance. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or payment processors and may track activity across domains. Both types are used here, but third-party ones are limited to essential partners under contractual safeguards. Users in Singapore can control these through browser settings or our consent tools.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies
Session cookies exist only during your active visit and delete automatically upon closing the browser, supporting temporary functions like form data retention. Persistent cookies remain on your device for set periods, such as thirty days for analytics or up to one year for preference storage, allowing return visits to resume course progress. Retention is minimised to what is necessary under PDPA principles of purpose limitation and data minimisation.
Data Handled and Specific Purposes
Cookies may collect IP addresses, device types, browser versions, referral URLs, and interaction timestamps. Necessary cookies process login tokens for security. Analytics ones gather aggregated usage statistics to optimise health course layouts. Advertising cookies record clicks on promotions to measure campaign effectiveness. All processing aligns with legitimate commercial interests or explicit consent, with no sale of personal data.
Consent and Legal Basis in Singapore
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the PDPA exception for contractual necessity without separate consent. Other categories require your affirmative consent via our site-wide banner, which complies with PDPA notification and consent obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing. Exemptions do not apply to advertising or social features, ensuring full compliance for a Singapore-targeted commercial site.
Cookie Providers and Details
Our providers include internal systems for necessary cookies lasting the session, analytics partners using identifiers for up to twenty-four months, and functional tools retaining preferences for ninety days. Categories are labelled clearly in the consent interface. No exhaustive list of every identifier is published here, but details remain available upon request through [email protected] to maintain accuracy without overwhelming the policy text.
How the Consent Manager Operates
The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular acceptance or rejection of non-essential categories. Changes can be made anytime via a settings link in the footer, triggering immediate updates to stored preferences. Withdrawal of consent stops future collection for those categories while existing data follows retention rules. This mechanism ensures ongoing user control as required by Singapore regulations.
Browser-Level Controls and Consequences
You can block or delete cookies through browser privacy settings, though this may disable features like course progress saving or personalised recommendations. Disabling analytics cookies limits our ability to improve content quality. Persistent cookies will not function if storage is restricted, potentially requiring repeated logins. These actions do not affect necessary cookies required for basic site operation.
International Transfers and Related Policies
Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside Singapore to jurisdictions with different protections. We rely on PDPA-compliant contractual clauses for such transfers. Full details on data flows appear in the Privacy Policy, which cross-references this Cookies Policy for comprehensive coverage of international aspects.
