What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store or access information such as preferences, login details, and usage patterns. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage that serve comparable purposes. On a Course Health site these files help deliver educational content smoothly while recording how visitors interact with health-related courses and resources.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

journofixo operates a commercial website focused on Course Health in Singapore. Cookies support essential functions such as keeping you logged in during course access, remembering your language preference, and measuring how users engage with health training materials. They also assist with performance improvements and limited advertising where appropriate under Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies enable core site functions including navigation, form submission on the contact page, and secure access to course content. Without them the website cannot operate correctly. They are exempt from consent requirements under PDPA when strictly necessary.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices such as course filters or display preferences. They enhance usability for visitors exploring health education programmes but are not essential for basic operation.

Analytics or Performance Cookies

These cookies collect aggregated information about page visits, time spent on modules, and navigation paths. The data helps journofixo improve course quality and site performance while complying with PDPA accountability obligations.

Advertising or Targeting Cookies

Where used, these cookies support relevant promotion of health courses. They are deployed only after consent and allow users to opt out via the site-wide cookie banner.

Social-Media Cookies

Buttons or embeds from social platforms may set cookies to track sharing of course reviews or updates. These fall under third-party control and require consent where they process personal data.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by journofixo and relate to core Course Health features. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types are listed in the table below with their specific purposes and durations.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies and Retention

Session cookies expire when you close the browser and are used for temporary tasks like maintaining a course session. Persistent cookies remain for defined periods, typically between thirty days and two years, to retain preferences or measure long-term engagement. Exact expiry details appear in the provider table.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Necessary cookies process identifiers needed for authentication and security. Functional cookies store preference settings. Analytics cookies handle aggregated usage metrics. Advertising cookies may capture interest signals for course recommendations. All processing aligns with PDPA consent or legitimate-interest exceptions where applicable.

Consent or Exemption Basis Under Singapore Law

Under the PDPA, consent is obtained via the site-wide cookie banner for non-essential categories. Strictly necessary cookies rely on the exemption for contractual necessity. Users may withdraw consent at any time through the banner or browser settings. journofixo maintains records of consent choices as required by accountability provisions.

How the Consent Manager Works

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows selection of categories. Users can reject non-essential cookies, change selections later via a link in the footer, or withdraw consent entirely. Choices are stored for twelve months before the banner reappears.

Browser-Level Controls and Consequences

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent course login and contact-form submission. Analytics and advertising features will stop functioning if those categories are blocked, but core health-course browsing remains possible.

International Transfers

Some third-party cookies transfer data outside Singapore. journofixo ensures appropriate safeguards such as contractual clauses. Full details appear in the Privacy Policy accessible from the footer.
