Last Updated: 15 May 2025
This policy explains how Tin Lok uses cookies and similar technologies on its website at tin-lok.live. It describes the types of cookies we use, what they do, and how you can manage your preferences.
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help the site work properly and can give us information about how visitors use it. You have the right to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
1. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They handle things such as remembering your cookie preferences and enabling navigation. They cannot be switched off.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors move through the website — which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. We use this information to improve the site. These cookies require your consent.
Marketing Cookies
Some pages on our site may include third-party tools (such as social sharing buttons) that set their own cookies. We do not control those cookies. They require your consent before they are loaded.

3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we include on our website. These are set and controlled by those third parties, not by Tin Lok. The key third-party services whose cookies may be present are:
- Google Analytics — used to understand website traffic and user behaviour in aggregate. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Maps — used on our homepage to display our location. May set cookies when the map is loaded. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Meta Pixel (Facebook) — may be used to understand how visitors from advertising campaigns interact with our site. Governed by Meta's Privacy Policy.
We load marketing and analytics third-party tools only after you have given consent through our cookie banner.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner: When you first visit our site, a banner invites you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block or delete cookies through their settings. The Help section of your browser will explain how to do this. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the website works.
- Google Analytics opt-out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before you withdrew it.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law or the cookies we use. We will post any updated version on this page with a revised date.
