Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Bamboo Gate uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

Last updated: 1 January 2025  ·  Bamboo Gate, Central, Hong Kong


I.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function as expected, to remember your preferences, and to provide basic analytical information to site operators.

Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — serve comparable purposes and are covered by this policy where relevant. Where we refer to "cookies" below, we include these technologies unless we state otherwise.


II.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for a limited set of purposes:

  • To remember your cookie consent choice so we do not ask again on subsequent visits.
  • To keep our website functioning correctly during a browsing session.
  • To understand, in aggregate, how visitors navigate our pages, so we can identify areas for improvement.
  • To record basic referral information where this helps us understand which of our communications is reaching the right people.

We do not use cookies to build individual profiles, serve targeted advertising, or share your data with third-party advertising networks.


III.

Types of cookies we use

The table below describes the specific categories of cookies present on this website.

Note on strictly necessary cookies: Under Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) and standard international practice, cookies that are technically essential to a service you have requested do not require separate consent. All other categories on this site are only placed with your agreement.


IV.

Third-party cookies

Our website may load resources from a small number of third-party providers. Where those providers place cookies on your device, their own privacy and cookie policies govern that data. We list the categories of third-party services we use below.

Web analytics

We use an analytics platform to understand aggregate traffic patterns. This service may place one or more cookies to track page visits across sessions. Data is processed in anonymised or pseudonymised form. We do not enable features that would allow the analytics provider to combine this data with other data they hold about you.

Embedded maps

Our contact page embeds a Google Maps frame to display our office location. When you view that section, Google may place cookies on your device in accordance with its own policies. You can review Google's approach at google.com/policies/privacy.

Web fonts

We load fonts from Google Fonts. Google may log request data, but this does not typically involve placing cookies. Refer to Google's privacy documentation if you wish to understand the technical detail.


V.

Your choices

On this website

When you first visit our site, a notice will appear asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. You may accept or decline at that point. If you change your mind later, you can clear your browser's stored data to reset your preference, and the notice will reappear on your next visit.

In your browser

All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. You can also set your browser to block cookies entirely, though this may affect the functionality of some websites. Guidance is available from your browser's help documentation.

Analytics opt-out

If our analytics provider offers a browser extension or opt-out mechanism, you are welcome to use it. Doing so will mean your visits are excluded from our aggregate reports.


VI.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. There is currently no widely agreed standard for how websites should respond to this signal. Our website does not alter its cookie behaviour in response to Do Not Track signals at present. If a clear standard is adopted, we will review our approach accordingly.


VII.

Cookie retention periods

The table below sets out how long different categories of cookies remain on your device.


VIII.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable requirements. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of our website following a material change will constitute your acknowledgement of the updated policy. Where a change significantly affects how we process data, we will display a notice on the site.
