Cookies Policy

Last updated: 20 September 2026

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include web beacons and pixel tags that can track user interactions. These tools can store information such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and browsing patterns. In the context of Siterixo which provides programming course content, cookies help maintain a smooth learning experience across lessons and modules.

Why the site uses them

We use cookies to operate the website effectively, improve course delivery, analyse how users engage with programming tutorials, and ensure security. Without them certain features like saving progress in courses would not function. Our commercial website relies on these technologies to deliver targeted educational resources while complying with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act.

Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising, and social media categories

Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as user authentication for course access. Functional cookies remember preferences like language or video playback settings. Analytics cookies track course completion rates and popular modules. Advertising cookies may personalise recommendations for additional programming courses. Social media cookies could integrate sharing features if enabled on our blog.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Siterixo to manage your session on our domain. Third-party cookies come from partners such as analytics providers or content delivery networks that support our programming course platform. Both types are used but third-party ones are limited to essential service providers.

Session versus persistent cookies and retention

Session cookies expire when you close the browser and are used for temporary tasks like maintaining login during a course session. Persistent cookies remain for longer periods, up to two years in some cases, to remember returning learners and their progress. Retention periods are set to the minimum necessary for the purpose, after which data is deleted or anonymised.

The data handled and purpose of each category

Necessary cookies handle login tokens and security tokens to prevent unauthorised access to paid courses. Functional cookies store settings such as preferred code editor themes. Analytics cookies collect aggregated data on page views and time spent on lessons to refine our curriculum. No personal identifiers are used beyond what is required for service operation.

Consent or exemption basis under Singapore law

Under the PDPA, strictly necessary cookies operate without consent as they are essential for the service. Other categories require consent which is obtained via our site-wide cookie banner. Users in Singapore can manage preferences at any time. We do not rely on legitimate interests for non-essential cookies and provide clear opt-out mechanisms.

Cookie providers and durations

Our own first-party session cookie lasts for the browser session. Analytics provider cookies persist for 13 months to measure long-term engagement with programming content. Functional cookies from our platform last up to one year. All durations are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain proportionate.

How the consent manager works and user choices

The cookie banner appears on first visit allowing you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise categories. Changes can be made through the banner link in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops further collection from that point but does not delete previously collected data unless required by law.

Browser-level controls and consequences

Most browsers allow blocking or deleting cookies via settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent access to course accounts and progress tracking. Analytics and advertising features will be limited but core educational content remains available. Instructions for common browsers are available on their support sites.

International transfers and privacy policy reference

Some cookies may transfer data outside Singapore to service providers. Such transfers follow PDPA requirements with appropriate safeguards. Please refer to our separate Privacy Policy for full details on data handling practices.
