Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how BrewSpark Pte. Ltd. ("BrewSpark", "we", "us" or "our"), UEN 202531628H, uses cookies, similar tracking technologies and local storage when you visit brewspark.life. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using the Site after interacting with our cookie banner, you consent to the practices described here in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA).

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser, remember preferences and collect certain usage information. Similar technologies include local storage entries, session storage and pixel tags. In this Policy, "cookies" refers to cookies and comparable technologies unless stated otherwise.

Cookies may be "session" cookies deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies remaining until they expire or you delete them. They may be "first-party" (set by BrewSpark) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as an analytics provider).

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies for three broad purposes:

• Essential operation: enabling core Site functions, security and load balancing. These cannot be disabled without breaking the Site.
• Preference storage: remembering your cookie consent choice so the banner does not reappear unnecessarily.
• Optional analytics: understanding aggregate traffic — pages viewed, referral sources, device types — to improve content and performance. These run only if you click "Accept all" on the cookie banner.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising or cross-site profiling. BrewSpark is a single-location salon; our digital footprint is intentionally modest.

3. Cookies and storage we use

3.1 Essential and preference items

• brewspark_cookie_consent (local storage) — stores "accepted" or "declined" for optional cookies. Duration: until you clear browser storage. Purpose: honour your consent choice under the PDPA.
• Server session identifiers — may be set by our hosting environment for security and form protection. Duration: session. Purpose: maintain secure connections.

3.2 Optional analytics (consent required)

If you accept optional cookies, we may deploy privacy-oriented analytics that collect anonymised or pseudonymised usage metrics — for example, page views on index.php versus services.php, approximate geography at country level and browser type. We configure analytics to avoid collecting free-text form fields or personally identifiable information. If no analytics provider is active, this section applies prospectively when we enable such tools.

4. Your choices

When you first visit brewspark.life, a banner offers two options:

• Accept all — enables optional analytics cookies in addition to essential cookies and stores your consent in local storage.
• Decline optional — limits us to essential cookies and preference storage only; optional analytics will not load.

You may change your choice at any time by clearing site data for brewspark.life in your browser settings, which resets the banner on your next visit. Most browsers also allow you to block all cookies globally; note that blocking essential cookies may impair Site functionality.

For instructions: Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies; Safari — Preferences → Privacy; Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security; Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

5. Third-party cookies

We minimise third-party cookies. Google Fonts loaded from fonts.googleapis.com may involve the font provider's logging practices governed by Google's policies. Embedded maps or social widgets, if added in future, may set their own cookies — we will update this Policy before enabling them.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. There is no uniform industry standard for responding to DNT. We treat a "Decline optional" cookie choice as the primary expression of privacy preference on our Site.

7. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change technologies or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date will reflect revisions. Continued use after changes constitutes acknowledgement where permitted by law.
