Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how ChinCrime Studio Pte. Ltd. ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on chincrime.pro. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. By using our website and managing choices through our cookie banner, you control optional cookies as described below.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, understand usage and, in some cases, deliver relevant content. Similar technologies include local storage (which we use for consent records) and server-side session identifiers in standard web logs.

2. Who sets cookies?

First-party cookies are set by chincrime.pro directly — primarily consent storage. Third-party cookies may be set by analytics or marketing tools if you opt in. We do not allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies without your consent.

3. Categories of cookies we use

Essential cookies (always active)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include:

• Consent storage (localStorage key: chincrime_consent): Remembers your cookie choices so the banner does not appear on every visit. Retained for six months from your last selection, then the banner reappears for a fresh choice.
• Session and security cookies: Basic server session handling and protection against form abuse. Duration: session or short-term.

Essential cookies do not require consent under Singapore PDPA guidance for strictly necessary functions, but we still inform you about them in this policy.

Analytics cookies (optional — require consent)

If you click "Accept all" or enable analytics in "Customise", we may use privacy-oriented analytics to understand aggregate traffic — pages visited, approximate geography, device type, referral source and time on site. We use this to improve content and navigation, not to build individual advertising profiles. Analytics data is aggregated where possible and retained per our analytics provider's standard retention (typically 14–26 months unless anonymised sooner).

Marketing cookies (optional — require consent)

If enabled, marketing cookies may help us measure whether studio campaigns drove visits to the site — for example, tagged links from email newsletters or social posts. We do not run retargeting ad networks on this site by default. If we introduce marketing pixels in future, this policy will be updated before activation.

4. Cookie banner and your choices

When you first visit chincrime.pro, a banner at the bottom of the screen offers three options:

• Accept all — Enables essential, analytics and marketing cookies.
• Reject optional — Enables essential cookies only; analytics and marketing remain off.
• Customise — Opens a panel where you toggle analytics and marketing individually, then save.

Your choice is stored locally in your browser for six months. After that period, the banner appears again so you can confirm or change preferences. You may change your mind at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings or deleting the chincrime_consent entry in localStorage — the banner will show on your next visit.

5. Browser controls

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality — for example, the consent banner may reappear each visit if localStorage is blocked. Consult your browser help documentation for instructions:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

6. Do Not Track

Our site does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals as there is no industry standard for compliance. Optional analytics remain off unless you consent via our banner.

7. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change tools, add features or when law requires. The date at the top will change accordingly. Material changes will be reflected on this page; continued use after updates constitutes acknowledgment where permitted.
