Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, how MarketDrive Pte. Ltd. (UEN 202531887L) uses them on https://marketdrive.life (the "Website"), and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data collected via cookies is processed under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA).

By continuing to use the Website, you consent to the placement of cookies described in this policy where consent is required, except where you have adjusted browser settings to refuse them or where only strictly necessary cookies apply.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function, improve efficiency, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining until they expire or you delete them).

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and server-side logs that record device and interaction data. References to "cookies" in this policy include comparable technologies unless stated otherwise.

3. Who sets cookies?

First-party cookies are set by MarketDrive when you visit marketdrive.life. Third-party cookies are set by external services we use, such as analytics or font delivery networks, when their resources load as part of the page. Third-party providers process data under their own policies in addition to contractual obligations with MarketDrive.

4. Categories of cookies we use

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to operate. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure form submission, spam protection, and load balancing. The Website cannot function properly without them. Because they are necessary for service delivery, they typically do not require consent under common regulatory frameworks, though you may still block them via browser settings at the cost of reduced functionality.

Examples include session identifiers maintained during form submission, security tokens, and server affinity cookies used by hosting infrastructure.

4.2 Functional cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make — such as navigation state or dismissed notices — to provide a more consistent experience. They are not strictly essential but improve usability. Where required, we seek consent before placing non-essential functional cookies.

4.3 Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the Website — pages visited, time on page, referral sources, device categories, and approximate geography derived from IP. Data is aggregated where possible to help us understand content performance, diagnose errors, and improve site architecture. Analytics cookies do not directly identify you by name unless combined with other data you provide voluntarily.

We may use privacy-oriented analytics configurations that minimise personal data collection, shorten retention periods, and anonymise IP addresses where the provider supports such settings.

4.4 Marketing cookies

MarketDrive's corporate Website is primarily informational. We do not deploy aggressive retargeting or cross-site advertising cookies on marketdrive.life by default. If we introduce marketing or remarketing tags in future, this policy will be updated and consent mechanisms implemented where required before activation.

5. Specific technologies

The following table summarises typical technologies that may be present. Exact cookies may vary as we update the Website or providers change identifiers.

• Hosting and CDN: infrastructure cookies for security, caching, and delivery performance.
• Google Fonts: when fonts load from Google servers, Google may receive your IP address and technical data per Google's privacy policy. Self-hosting fonts may be adopted to reduce third-party requests.
• Analytics (if enabled): pseudonymous identifiers such as _ga or equivalent, with configurable retention. Used to distinguish sessions and measure traffic patterns.

We review third-party scripts periodically and remove those that are not justified by legitimate business needs.

6. Legal basis

Under the PDPA, consent is required before collecting personal data via non-essential cookies where such data constitutes personal data. Strictly necessary cookies rely on legitimate operational needs. Where analytics cookies process personal data, we obtain consent through appropriate notice — which may include a cookie banner or clear reference in this policy combined with continued use where permitted — or configure tools to operate without personal data where feasible.

7. How to manage cookies

You can control cookies through several methods:

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions. Blocking all cookies may impair Website functionality, including form submission.
• Private browsing: Session cookies are cleared when you close a private or incognito window, though persistent cookies may still apply unless blocked.
• Device settings: Mobile operating systems may offer limited tracking controls at the device level.
• Analytics opt-out: Some analytics providers offer browser add-ons or opt-out mechanisms. Contact [email protected] if you need assistance.

Because controls vary by browser version, we cannot provide exhaustive technical steps for every environment. Updated guidance is available from your browser vendor.

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. There is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond. MarketDrive currently does not alter cookie behaviour solely based on DNT signals, but we minimise data collection by design and review practices against evolving standards.

9. Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent analytics cookies may last from thirty (30) days to fourteen (14) months depending on configuration. We configure the shortest retention adequate for statistical reliability where provider settings allow.

10. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change Website technologies, add or remove providers, or when law or guidance evolves. The effective date at the top indicates the latest version. Material changes will be posted on this page. We encourage periodic review.
