Cookie Policy

We're upfront about how we use cookies on our platform. This isn't legal jargon for the sake of it—it's about helping you understand what happens when you visit our site and what choices you have.

What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. They're not programs and can't harm your computer. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit.

At Playtime-malaysia, we use cookies to make your learning experience smoother. Some are absolutely necessary for the site to work. Others help us understand how people use our platform so we can improve it.

Types of Cookies We Use

How We Handle Your Data

When you interact with our platform, cookies collect certain information. We take this seriously and follow Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 along with international best practices.

What Information Gets Collected?

Technical stuff like your IP address, browser type, and device information. We also track which pages you visit, how long you spend on them, and which learning modules you access. This helps us spot technical issues and understand what content resonates with learners in the Malaysia market.

We don't sell your data. Period. The analytics we gather stay with us and help shape how we develop educational content. Sometimes we work with trusted third-party services like Google Analytics, but we've configured these tools to respect your privacy as much as possible.

Technical Details You Might Care About

Cookie Duration

Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around for up to 12 months, though most expire within 3-6 months.

Third-Party Access

We use services like Google Analytics and content delivery networks. These may set their own cookies, but we've limited what data they can access.

Browser Controls

Your browser lets you block or delete cookies. Check your browser settings—every major browser has these options built in.

Mobile Devices

On mobile, cookies work similarly. iOS and Android both offer privacy controls in their settings where you can manage tracking.

Google Consent Mode v2

We've implemented Google Consent Mode v2, which became a requirement in 2024 and continues into 2025. This technology adjusts how Google tags behave based on your consent choices.

When you decline non-essential cookies, Google's analytics and advertising tools switch to a privacy-focused mode. They still provide us with useful aggregated data, but without tracking you individually. It's a decent middle ground that respects your choices while helping us improve our platform.

Your Rights and Choices

You're in control here. You can accept cookies, reject non-essential ones, or change your mind anytime. If you reject cookies, you'll still have full access to our educational content—you just might need to re-enter preferences more often.

What Happens When You Reject Cookies?

Essential cookies stay active because they're necessary for basic functionality. Everything else gets blocked. Your learning progress might not save automatically, and we won't be able to remember your preferences between sessions. But you can still access all our courses and educational materials.

Want to clear cookies manually? Most browsers let you view and delete individual cookies. Look for "Privacy" or "Settings" in your browser menu. You can also use private browsing modes if you prefer not to leave any trace.

Updates to This Policy

Technology changes. Regulations evolve. We'll update this policy when needed to reflect those changes. Major updates get announced on our platform, and we'll note the revision date at the top of this page.

Last updated: January 2025. We review this policy quarterly to make sure it stays accurate and useful.
