Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 May 2025
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 device on return visits and remember certain preferences or settings. Cookies are widely used to make websites work as expected and to give operators basic information about how pages are used.
Similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, work in comparable ways and are also covered by this policy. When we use the word "cookies" below, we mean all such technologies unless stated otherwise.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on the Obscura Mint website for three broad purposes. The table below describes each category, the specific cookies involved, and how long they stay active.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality. They do not collect data used for marketing and are not shared with third parties.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| om_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preference (accepted or declined) so the banner does not reappear on each visit. | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Session identifier used for standard server-side processing of page requests. | Session |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our pages — which sections are read most, where people arrive from, and where they leave. The data is aggregated and does not identify individuals. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them via the cookie banner.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC under their standard data processing terms. Data may be transferred outside Malaysia in accordance with their privacy framework. You can learn more at policies.google.com.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make on the website — such as display settings — so you do not need to reset them on each visit. At this time, we do not set any preference cookies beyond what is listed above. This section will be updated if preference cookies are added in future.
3. Your Choices
When you first visit our website, a banner gives you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved for 12 months. You can change your preference at any time using either of the methods below.
Reset via browser storage
Open your browser's developer tools, go to Application → Local Storage, and delete the om_cookie_consent key. The banner will reappear on your next visit.
Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the website work. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
Opt out of Google Analytics
If you have accepted analytics cookies but wish to opt out specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This prevents data from being sent to Google Analytics from your browser.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the homepage. When you interact with the map, Google may set cookies on your device in accordance with their own privacy policy. These cookies are outside our control and are subject to Google's terms. If you prefer not to receive Google cookies, you can choose not to interact with the map widget, or disable third-party cookies in your browser settings.
We do not use advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or affiliate marketing cookies on this website.
5. Malaysian Regulatory Context
Our cookie practices are designed to be consistent with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) of Malaysia. Where cookies involve the collection of personal data, that data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. We seek your consent for non-essential cookies before setting them and provide a straightforward means to withdraw that consent.
6. Policy Updates
We review this Cookie Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. If we introduce new cookie categories or make significant changes, we will update this page and, where appropriate, re-prompt for consent via the banner on the homepage.
