Cookies Policy

Introduction

Last updated on 19 September 2026. This Cookies Policy explains how sceneflowpo uses cookies and similar technologies on our website dedicated to Course Programming services in Singapore. We operate as a commercial platform providing programming education resources and courses. This policy forms part of our commitment to transparency under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) of Singapore. It details the information collected through these technologies, the purposes for which it is used, and the choices available to you. By continuing to use our site you acknowledge the practices described here. We maintain a site-wide cookie banner that allows initial consent management and links to this full policy along with our Contacts page featuring a contact form.

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can store or access information such as your preferences, browsing history, device identifiers, and login status. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage that perform comparable functions without always using traditional cookie files. These tools help websites remember user actions over time. In the context of our Course Programming platform they enable features like saving course progress or remembering preferred programming languages. Information stored may include IP addresses, browser types, session durations, and interaction data with our educational content. Under Singapore law such data may qualify as personal data if it can identify an individual directly or indirectly.

Why the Site Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies

We employ these technologies to deliver core functionality, improve user experience, analyse performance, and support limited advertising where appropriate. For a commercial Course Programming website they facilitate seamless navigation through course modules, track completion rates for programming exercises, and personalise recommendations based on prior learning paths. Without them certain features such as maintaining logged-in sessions or remembering quiz answers would not function. They also help us understand aggregate usage patterns to refine our curriculum offerings. All usage aligns with PDPA obligations requiring consent for collection of personal data beyond strictly necessary purposes.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Our cookies fall into five main categories. Strictly necessary cookies enable basic site operations such as page loading and security. Functional cookies remember your settings like language preferences or course filters. Analytics or performance cookies gather data on how visitors interact with programming tutorials and videos. Advertising or targeting cookies may be used by third parties to show relevant course promotions. Social-media cookies allow sharing of course achievements on external platforms when enabled. Each category serves distinct operational needs on our Singapore-based education site.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by sceneflowpo and relate to our own domain for purposes like session management during course access. Third-party cookies originate from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks that support our programming video hosting. We carefully vet third parties to ensure compliance with Singapore PDPA requirements. First-party cookies generally pose lower privacy risks while third-party ones may involve additional data sharing subject to their own policies cross-referenced in our Privacy Policy.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies and Retention

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it, useful for temporary course navigation. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until manually removed, allowing features like saved progress in programming courses to persist across visits. Retention periods vary by category: strictly necessary session cookies expire at browser close, analytics persistent cookies may last up to 24 months, and advertising ones up to 13 months depending on the provider. We review expiry dates regularly to minimise unnecessary data retention in line with PDPA principles.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies handle authentication tokens and security flags to prevent fraud during course purchases. Functional cookies store user interface preferences to customise the learning dashboard. Analytics cookies process aggregated metrics such as time spent on coding challenges to improve content quality. Advertising cookies capture interest signals for targeted course ads. Social-media cookies transmit limited profile data when users opt to share certificates. Each purpose is documented to ensure only necessary personal data is processed.

Consent or Exemption Basis Under Singapore Law

Under the PDPA strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements as they are essential for service delivery. Functional, analytics, advertising, and social-media categories require prior consent via our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time through the banner or browser settings. We do not rely on legitimate interests for cookies that collect personal data; explicit consent is obtained where required. This approach respects Singapore's consumer protection framework for e-commerce transactions involving course enrolments.

Cookie Providers and Details

The following lists key cookies used: Necessary cookie named session_id provided by sceneflowpo for site functionality lasting session duration; Analytics cookie named _ga provided by Google Analytics for performance measurement lasting 24 months; Functional cookie named pref_lang provided by sceneflowpo for language settings lasting 12 months; Advertising cookie named _fbp provided by Meta for targeting lasting 3 months; Social cookie named share_token provided by LinkedIn for sharing lasting 6 months. Full details on purposes, providers, categories, and durations are maintained and updated as providers change.

How the Consent Manager Works

Our cookie banner appears on first visit allowing granular acceptance or rejection of non-essential categories. You can revisit the banner via a footer link to change preferences or withdraw consent instantly. Changes take effect immediately and previous choices are stored in a first-party cookie for 12 months. The Contacts page provides an alternative route to request assistance with consent settings through the contact form.

Browser-Level Controls and Consequences

Most browsers allow blocking or deleting cookies through settings menus. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent course access or login functionality. Blocking analytics cookies limits our ability to improve programming content but does not affect core site use. Persistent disabling of advertising cookies reduces personalised recommendations. We recommend reviewing browser help sections for instructions relevant to your device and Singapore-based users should note that some features may degrade without cookies enabled.

International Transfers

Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside Singapore to jurisdictions such as the United States or European Union. We ensure appropriate safeguards including contractual clauses are in place. Details on such transfers appear in our Privacy Policy which you should consult alongside this document for complete information on data handling practices.
