Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 8 May 2025 | Penserve, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones are used on the Penserve website (penservekip.world), and how you can control them. Please read this page alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how your personal data is handled more broadly.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. They are widely used to help websites remember preferences, maintain session state, and gather basic information about how pages are used.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Penserve) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are "third-party cookies". The Penserve website uses both types, described in the sections below.
2. How We Store Consent
When you first visit the Penserve website, a small notification appears at the bottom of the page describing the cookies in use. You may accept all cookies, accept essential cookies only, or dismiss the notice without changing your preference.
Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage — a small, browser-side storage area that does not send data to a server. The key stored is penserve_cookie_consent with a value of accepted or declined.
You may clear this preference at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain, or by using the "Update my cookie preference" link at the bottom of this page.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function. They do not track your browsing activity for analytics or advertising purposes. Because they are strictly necessary, they are placed without requiring your consent, as permitted under Malaysian data protection guidance.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| penserve_cookie_consent | localStorage (first-party) | Stores whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice, so the banner is not shown on every page visit. | Until cleared by user |
| PHPSESSID | Session cookie (first-party) | Maintains session state for the contact form submission and page tracking logic embedded in index.php. | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
4. Analytics Cookies
With your consent, this website places analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed most, how people arrive at the site, and how long sessions typically last. This information is collected in aggregated, anonymised form and is not linked to any individual.
Analytics cookies are only placed if you accept them when the cookie notice appears. If you decline, no analytics data is gathered during your visit.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Third-party (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier. Used to calculate session and visitor counts. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Third-party (Google Analytics) | Stores and counts page views for individual sessions. | 2 years |
| _gid | Third-party (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes unique visitors for a 24-hour window. | 24 hours |
Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's own privacy terms. No personal identification is passed to Google through these cookies. For more on how Google handles analytics data, see Google's Privacy Policy.
5. Advertising and Tracking Cookies
The Penserve website does not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookies associated with social media advertising platforms. No visitor data is shared with advertising networks.
