Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 18 March 2025 · Effective Date: 18 March 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Warisan Advocates ("the Firm", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at warisana.info. It is intended to help you understand what cookies are placed, why they are placed, and what choices you have.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle personal data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function as intended, to remember preferences, and to provide aggregate information to site owners about how visitors interact with their pages.
Cookies do not identify you personally by name. They typically store a small identifier or preference value that the website can read on subsequent visits.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three purposes: to ensure the website functions correctly, to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it, and — where you have opted in — to measure the effectiveness of any outreach we conduct through advertising platforms.
We do not use cookies to build personal profiles for resale, to serve personalised advertisements on third-party networks on an ongoing basis, or to track your behaviour across unrelated websites beyond the standard functionality of the platforms described below.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate. They manage your cookie consent preference, maintain basic session continuity, and support secure form submission. They cannot be disabled without affecting core website functionality.

PHPSESSID |

3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors find and navigate our site. The data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. We place analytics cookies only if you consent.

3.3 Marketing & Conversion Cookies
These cookies help us measure whether our advertising spend is reaching people who go on to enquire about our services. They do not enable targeting of individuals for ongoing advertising purposes beyond their interaction with our website. We place marketing cookies only if you consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |

4. Third-Party Cookies & Services
The analytics and marketing cookies listed above are set by third-party services (Google, Microsoft, Meta). Each of those services has its own data practices, and we encourage you to review their policies:
- Google Privacy Policy — policies.google.com/privacy
- Microsoft Privacy Statement — privacy.microsoft.com
- Meta Privacy Policy — facebook.com/privacy/policy
We also embed a Google Maps panel on our contact page. Google Maps may set cookies in the context of that embed. These are governed by Google's privacy policy linked above.
5. Your Choices
5.1 Via our consent banner
When you first visit our website, you will see a consent notice. You may choose to accept all cookies or accept only strictly necessary cookies. Your choice is stored for one year. You may change it at any time by clearing your browser's stored data for this site and reloading — the banner will reappear.
5.2 Via your browser settings
All modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. The process varies by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without causing some features to stop working correctly.
5.3 Opt-out links
You may also opt out of specific third-party measurement programmes directly:
- Google Analytics opt-out — tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Meta Ads preferences — facebook.com/adpreferences
6. Cookies & Malaysian Law
Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) governs the collection and processing of personal data. Cookie data that can be linked to an identifiable individual — such as an IP address — is treated as personal data under the PDPA and handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not use cookies to process sensitive personal data as defined under the PDPA.
7. Policy Updates
We may update this policy if we change the cookies we use or if the law requires it. The revision date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. If we introduce a materially new category of cookie, we will present the consent notice again so you can make an updated choice.
