Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember certain preferences, and gather information about how the site is used. Cookies do not contain your name or other directly identifying information unless you have provided that information to the site separately.

This policy explains the cookies used on the Tanjong Counsel website, why they are used, and how you may manage or remove them.

2. Categories of Cookie Used

The firm uses cookies in three categories. Each is described below, along with the purpose it serves and whether your consent is required before it is activated.

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to operate. They enable basic functions such as navigation and form submission. Essential cookies are activated as soon as you visit the site and do not require your consent, as the site cannot function without them. They do not collect information used for marketing or analytics.

Analytics cookies

These cookies help the firm understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter any difficulties. The information is collected in aggregate and is not linked to any individual. Analytics cookies are only activated when you give your consent through the cookie preference panel on this site.

Preference cookies

These cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made — for example, your cookie consent decision — so that you are not asked again on each visit. They are stored only after your consent is recorded.

3. Cookies in Use

The following table sets out the specific cookies currently in use on the Tanjong Counsel website.

Cookie name	Category	Purpose	Duration
tc_consent	Essential / Preference	Stores your cookie consent choices so the preference panel is not shown on every visit.	12 months
_ga	Analytics	Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors. Only set after consent is given.	24 months
_ga_*	Analytics	Google Analytics — maintains session state. Only set after consent is given.	24 months
_gid	Analytics	Google Analytics — distinguishes users across a 24-hour session. Only set after consent is given.	24 hours

The firm may update the cookies in use as the website is developed. This policy will be revised to reflect any such changes.

4. Third-Party Cookies

The analytics cookies listed above are operated by Google LLC under the Google Analytics service. Google may process data collected by these cookies on servers outside Singapore. Google operates under its own privacy policy, which is available at policies.google.com. The firm does not share client matter data with Google or any other third party.

Where the site displays a Google Maps embed, Google may set its own cookies in connection with that embed. The firm does not control those cookies. You may review Google's cookie practices via the link above.

5. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit the site, a preference panel will appear at the bottom of the screen. This panel allows you to accept or decline analytics and preference cookies. Essential cookies cannot be declined as the site requires them to function.

You may change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting the site, at which point the preference panel will appear again. Most browsers also allow you to manage cookies directly through their settings. The steps for doing so vary by browser; the browser's help section will explain the process.

Declining analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the site. It means the firm will receive less information about how the site is used, which may limit its ability to improve the experience over time.

6. Withdrawing Consent

If you have previously given consent to analytics cookies and wish to withdraw it, you may do so by clearing cookies for this site in your browser settings. The preference panel will appear again on your next visit. Withdrawal of consent does not affect data collected prior to withdrawal.

7. Changes to This Policy

This cookie policy may be revised from time to time, for example if the firm introduces new cookies or if the regulatory landscape changes. The date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site following any update will be taken as acknowledgement of the revised policy.
