1. Introduction

Circle 26 Pte. Ltd. ("Circle 26", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and the Circle 26 Platform. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This Cookies Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information on how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide information to website operators, and to enhance the user experience.

Cookies can be classified in two ways:

By duration: Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

By origin: First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by service providers we use.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Functionality: To enable core features of the website and Platform, such as secure login, session management, and access to member-only areas.

Performance and Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve the user experience.

Preferences: To remember your settings, preferences, and choices so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit.

Security: To help detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect the security of our Platform and your account.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and Platform. They enable you to navigate the site, log in to secure areas, and use core features. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect information about you for marketing purposes.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised information about how visitors use our website. These cookies help us understand traffic patterns, identify areas for improvement, and measure the effectiveness of our content. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data such as the number of visitors, the pages visited, the time spent on each page, and the source of the visit.

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. We have enabled IP anonymisation, which means your IP address is truncated before being transmitted to Google. We do not combine Google Analytics data with other personal data we hold about you.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or display settings) and provide enhanced, more personalised features.

Local Storage: HTML5 local storage may be used to store data locally on your device for performance and functionality purposes.

These technologies are subject to the same controls and preferences as cookies.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signal. At present, there is no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we will continue to monitor developments in this area.
