Cookie Policy

What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit it. Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit.

Cookies differ from other tracking technologies such as local storage and tracking pixels, though they serve similar purposes in some contexts.

Philippine Legal Framework

Our use of cookies is governed by Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012) and its implementing rules, which require that we obtain informed consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Our cookie consent mechanism is designed to meet this requirement by: presenting clear information about each cookie category, obtaining separate consent for each non-essential category, and allowing you to withdraw or change consent at any time.

The National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines provides guidance on data privacy compliance. If you have concerns about how we use cookies that are not addressed by this policy, you may contact the NPC at www.privacy.gov.ph.
