Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — like whether you've accepted a cookie notice — so you don't have to repeat that action every time.

Cookies cannot access other files on your device, run programs, or transmit viruses. They are a standard and widely-used part of how websites function.

Cookies We Use

Datavine uses the following categories of cookies:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled. They handle things like remembering your cookie consent preference and maintaining basic session state.

• cookieConsent — stores your cookie preference in your browser's local storage
• Duration: persistent (13 months from the date of consent)

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited, how long people spend on them, and what referring sources bring them here. This data is collected in aggregate and is not linked to your identity.

• Provider: Google Analytics (GA4)
• Duration: session and persistent (up to 26 months)
• Data collected: page views, session duration, device type, approximate location (city level)

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies track activity across websites to help us understand how our content performs in paid advertising contexts. These are only active if you opt in.

• Providers: Google Ads, Meta (Facebook)
• Duration: persistent (up to 90 days)
• Data collected: page events, form interaction signals

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent status and any display settings you may have configured.

• Duration: persistent (up to 12 months)

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services embedded in our website. We do not have direct control over these, but they are only active where you have given consent for the relevant category:

• Google Analytics — for anonymised usage analytics
• Google Ads — for advertising performance measurement
• Meta Pixel — for advertising performance measurement

These providers have their own privacy policies which govern how they handle data they collect via cookies. We recommend reviewing their policies if you would like to understand their data practices.

Cookie Duration

There are two types of cookies by lifespan:

• Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies — remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Expiry periods for each cookie are noted in the sections above.

Your Cookie Preferences

You can update your cookie preferences below at any time. Essential cookies are always active and cannot be disabled. Changes take effect after clicking "Save Preferences".

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can also manage or delete cookies directly in your browser settings. Note that deleting all cookies will remove your saved preferences from this page, meaning the cookie banner may reappear on your next visit.

Your Rights

You have the right to withdraw your consent for optional cookies at any time by updating your preferences above. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before withdrawal.

Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not prevent you from using any part of this website — our core functionality does not depend on them. You may notice that some optional features or third-party integrations behave differently.

If you have questions about how we handle data or would like to exercise rights under Malaysian PDPA, please see our Privacy Policy or contact us directly.
