Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Live In Singapore uses cookies on https://liveinsingapore.pro. The Site is a small English-language guide notebook for visitors walking Singapore with Marcus Tan — not a booking marketplace. Read this together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, keep sessions secure, or understand how pages are used. Similar technologies include local storage entries and session storage, which we use to remember your cookie consent choice.

2. How we use cookies

We group cookies on this Site into three categories:

• Essential cookies — required for basic operation, including storing your cookie consent decision so the banner does not reappear on every page load.
• Functional cookies — optional preferences that may improve usability, such as remembering that you expanded the cookie customisation panel.
• Analytics cookies — optional measurement cookies if we enable privacy-conscious analytics in the future. They are off by default unless you accept them in the banner.

We do not use advertising retargeting cookies on this Site at launch. If we introduce analytics or advertising tags compatible with Google Ads policies, we will update this policy and the consent banner accordingly.

3. Cookie consent banner

When you first visit the Site, a banner offers three choices: Accept all, Reject optional, or Customise. Your selection is stored in a first-party cookie named lis_consent and mirrored in local storage where supported. Essential consent storage is necessary to honour your choice.

You may reopen settings at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer. Changing preferences updates the stored record immediately.

4. Google Maps embed

The contact page embeds Google Maps to display our studio at 5 Yong Siak Street, #02-01, Singapore 168643. When the map iframe loads, Google may set its own cookies or collect technical data according to Google's Privacy Policy. The map provides location functionality rather than marketing on our Site. If you prefer not to load the map, contact us by email or phone instead of visiting the contact page.

5. Third-party content

Guide notes may link to external websites — museums, transport authorities, hawker blogs — that set their own cookies when you follow those links. We do not control third-party cookies.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice and could affect basic preference storage. You can also use private browsing modes to limit persistent storage between sessions, though essential consent cookies may still be written during that session.

Instructions are available in your browser's help section:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

7. Retention

Consent records stored in lis_consent expire after one hundred eighty days, after which the banner may appear again so you can refresh your choice. Server logs related to page delivery are rotated separately as described in the Privacy Policy.

We do not use cookies to build cross-site profiles of visitors. Any future analytics tool we enable will respect the opt-in choice recorded in your consent object.

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. There is no uniform industry standard for responding to those signals. We treat optional analytics as off unless you explicitly accept them in our banner, regardless of DNT settings.

9. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change Site functionality or applicable guidance. Check the "Last updated" date above.
