Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 19 April 2025  |  Effective Date: 19 April 2025

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences and the pages you viewed — across browser sessions. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses; they are simply text files that websites read when you return.

This policy explains what cookies the Yuen Horizon website at yuenhori uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for three purposes: to keep the website functioning correctly, to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it, and to remember your cookie preferences so you are not asked every visit. We do not use cookies to target advertising, track individuals across other websites, or build profiles for commercial sale.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always active — cannot be disabled

Essential cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, you would not be able to navigate the site or use its basic features. They do not collect information that could be used for marketing.

  • cookieConsent — stores your cookie preference (accept or reject). Expires after 12 months. Set by Yuen Horizon.
  • Session cookies — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They maintain basic page functionality during your visit.

Analytics Cookies

Requires your consent

Analytics cookies help us understand which pages visitors view, how long they spend on each page, and which links they follow. This information is collected in aggregate and helps us improve the site's content and structure over time.

  • Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _ga_*) — tracks page views, session duration, and navigation paths. Data is sent to Google and stored in aggregate form. Expires between 24 hours and 2 years depending on the specific cookie. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.

We configure Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. We do not use the User ID feature or link analytics data to any personally identifiable information held in our systems.

Preference Cookies

Requires your consent

Preference cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made — such as display settings or language preferences — so you do not have to re-select them on future visits. At present, we use a limited number of preference cookies.

  • Display preferences — if we add user-selectable settings in future (for example, font size or contrast preferences), those choices would be stored here. Currently, this category contains no active cookies beyond what is described above.

Marketing Cookies

Requires your consent

If you consent, marketing cookies allow us to measure the performance of referral traffic from platforms such as Google Ads or Meta. These cookies do not serve targeted advertisements directly through this site, but they enable us to understand which channels bring visitors who later make an enquiry.

  • Meta Pixel (_fbp) — tracks page visits and conversions if you have previously interacted with a Yuen Horizon advertisement on Meta platforms. Expires after 90 days. Set by Meta Platforms. See Meta's Cookie Policy for details.
  • Microsoft Clarity / Bing UET — if Bing advertising is active, a UET cookie may be set to measure conversion events. Expires after 13 months.

Marketing cookies are only active if you choose to accept them. Rejection does not affect your ability to use or access this website.

4. Third-Party Tools Referenced

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use to operate or improve the website. These services have their own privacy and cookie policies:

  • Google Analytics — analytics platform operated by Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC. Google Privacy Policy
  • Meta Platforms (Facebook Pixel) — conversion tracking operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. Meta Cookie Policy
  • Microsoft Advertising (Bing UET) — conversion tracking operated by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Privacy Statement

These services may transfer data to servers outside Hong Kong. Where this occurs, it is governed by the terms and data transfer mechanisms of those services.

5. Cookies and Hong Kong Privacy Law

The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) applies to the collection of personal data through this website, which may include data derived from cookies. Where cookies collect information that constitutes personal data, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymisation, meaning full IP addresses are not stored. Aggregated analytics data is used solely to understand site usage and does not enable identification of individual visitors.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit this website, a banner appears at the bottom of the page allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored for 12 months.

You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the button below:
