Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy describes how Filmtalknow ("we") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://filmtalknow.pro/. It should be read with our Privacy Policy. The Site is built so review content remains readable with JavaScript disabled; we do not rely on client-side scripts to display essential text.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until expiry or deletion). Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and server-side logs that reference cookie IDs.

2. How we use cookies

2.1 Strictly necessary

Our static review pages do not require cookies for basic reading. Hosting infrastructure may set strictly necessary security cookies to mitigate abuse; these cannot be switched off without breaking protection.

Because the review body is plain HTML, disabling JavaScript in your browser does not change how cookies behave on index.php — there is no client-side consent banner script that itself sets additional cookies.

2.2 Third-party embed — Google Maps

On contact.php we embed Google Maps to show our Bedok Reservoir office pin at Blk 633 Bedok Reservoir Road, #08-14, Singapore 470633. When the iframe loads, Google may set cookies or use local storage for map functionality, language, and aggregated analytics. We do not control Google’s cookie names or lifetimes. Consult Google’s policies for details and opt-out tools.

2.3 Analytics

At launch we do not deploy first-party marketing or analytics pixels (such as Meta or TikTok) on the Site. Server access logs provide aggregate traffic without browser cookies. If we add privacy-preserving analytics later, we will update this page.

3. Managing cookies

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings. Blocking all cookies may affect Google Maps on the contact page but will not prevent you from reading the Million Dollar Murder review on the homepage. Mobile operating systems also offer limit-ad-tracking options for in-app browsers.

Browser vendors publish help pages under names such as "clear cookies", "site settings", or "privacy dashboard". If you use multiple devices, repeat the steps on each one because cookie choices do not sync automatically unless you use a signed-in browser profile.

4. Do Not Track

We do not respond to DNT signals in a uniform way because industry standards vary. We minimise tracking by design.

If industry guidance later standardises DNT interpretation for static publishers, we will reassess whether any change is needed given our minimal cookie footprint.

5. Changes

We may update this Cookies Policy when the Site’s technology changes. Check the date above.

6. Cookie categories at a glance

Category	Used on filmtalknow.pro?	Purpose
Strictly necessary	Possibly via host	Security, load balancing
Functional	Google Maps embed only	Showing office location pin
Analytics	No first-party pixels at launch	—
Advertising	No	—

7. Duration

Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies set by Google may last from days to months depending on your interaction with the map and Google account status. You can clear them manually through browser settings at any time.

We do not set first-party persistent cookies for remembering theme or font preferences because the Site ships a single accessible palette intended to meet contrast requirements without user toggles.
