Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Town Tales Pro Pte. Ltd. ("Town Tales Pro", "we", "us") uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit towntalespro.life. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.

We believe in minimal data collection. Unlike many websites, we do not use advertising cookies, analytics pixels, social media tracking widgets, or third-party marketing tools. The only non-essential technology we use is the Google Maps embed on our contact page, which loads only after you give explicit consent.

1. What are cookies and local storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Local storage is a similar browser technology that allows websites to store data on your device persistently until you clear it.

Town Tales Pro uses local storage rather than traditional HTTP cookies for recording your cookie consent preference. This means no consent cookie is sent to our server — your choice is stored entirely on your device.

2. Types of technologies we use

Essential (always active)

Essential technologies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store personally identifiable information and do not track you across other websites.

• Server session data: Our web server may create temporary session identifiers to process contact form submissions securely. These are not stored as browser cookies and expire when your session ends.
• Security tokens: Standard security measures including HTTPS encryption protect all data in transit. No additional tracking cookies are involved.

Functional (requires consent)

Functional technologies enhance your experience but are not strictly necessary for the website to operate. They load only when you click "Accept all" on our cookie banner or click "Load map" on the contact page.

• Google Maps embed: On our contact page, we offer an embedded Google Map showing the location of our editorial office at 112 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427735. When you consent to functional cookies, Google Maps loads in an iframe and Google may set its own cookies and collect usage data according to Google's Privacy Policy. We do not control Google's data practices.

Consent storage

• ttp_cookie_consent (local storage): Stores your cookie preference ("essential" or "all"). This record is created when you interact with our cookie banner and persists until you clear your browser's local storage. It is not transmitted to our servers.

3. What we do not use

To be explicit, Town Tales Pro does not use:

• Advertising or retargeting cookies
• Google Analytics or similar traffic analytics tools
• Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or other social media tracking pixels
• Third-party chat widgets or customer engagement tools
• A/B testing or heatmap tracking services
• Cross-site tracking or fingerprinting technologies

Google Ads may independently track clicks on advertisements that lead to our website. That tracking is managed by Google, not by us, and is not controlled by this Cookie Policy.

4. Managing your preferences

When you first visit towntalespro.life, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the screen offering two choices:

• Accept all: Enables functional cookies including the Google Maps embed on our contact page.
• Essential only: Declines functional cookies. The website works fully except that Google Maps will not load automatically. You can still view our address and open Google Maps in a separate tab via the link provided.

You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for towntalespro.life and refreshing the page. The cookie banner will reappear, allowing you to make a new choice.

Most web browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies and local storage through their settings. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking all storage may affect website functionality on other sites you visit.

5. Cookie duration

Technology	Type	Duration
ttp_cookie_consent	Local storage (consent record)	Until cleared by user
Google Maps cookies	Third-party (Google)	Varies — see Google policy

6. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the technologies used on our website. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
