Cookies Policy
Last updated: 29/09/2026
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your device. These tools can record details such as browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages and device identifiers. In Malaysia the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 governs how personal data is handled, and cookies that collect identifiable information fall within its scope when they process data about individuals.
Why the Site Uses Cookies
studyrixup operates a non-commercial informational website focused on course programming topics. Cookies help deliver consistent content, remember user preferences where relevant, measure audience engagement through the enabled blog and support the site-wide cookie banner. They also enable the contact form on the Contacts page to function correctly without storing unnecessary visitor data beyond what is required for form submission.
Categories of Cookies Used
Strictly necessary cookies are required for core site functions such as navigation and form submission. Functional cookies remember choices like language or display settings. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors interact with programming course articles and blog posts. Advertising or targeting cookies are not used because the site is non-commercial. Social-media cookies may appear only if embedded content from third parties is present, but none are placed by default.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by studyrixup and remain under our control. They are used for essential operations and basic analytics. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as content delivery networks or analytics services that support blog functionality. These third parties process information according to their own policies, which are referenced in the separate Privacy Policy.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until manually removed. Necessary cookies are typically session-based. Analytics cookies may persist for up to twenty-four months to allow trend analysis across multiple visits to programming course material. Retention periods are chosen to balance operational needs with data minimisation principles under Malaysian law.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Necessary cookies handle session identifiers and form tokens to prevent errors during contact submissions. Functional cookies store display preferences to improve readability of course descriptions. Analytics cookies record page views, referral sources and device characteristics to understand which programming topics interest readers most. No advertising cookies collect data for personalised marketing. All data processing aims to maintain site reliability and provide useful informational resources without commercial profiling.
Consent or Exemption Basis Under Malaysian Law
Under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, consent is required when cookies process personal data unless an exemption applies. Strictly necessary cookies operate under the legitimate interests exemption because they enable basic site access. Analytics and functional cookies rely on the consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Users may withdraw consent at any time via the banner controls. The site does not use cookies for direct marketing, which would require separate opt-in under PDPA.
Cookie Provider Table
The following table summarises the main cookies deployed. Provider names, categories and durations are listed for transparency. Necessary cookies from studyrixup last for the session only. Analytics cookies from a measurement provider last up to twenty-four months. Functional cookies from the same provider persist for twelve months. Third-party content delivery cookies expire after thirty days. Exact names and identifiers appear in the banner interface for user review.
How the Consent Manager Works
The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular selection of categories. Users can accept all, reject non-essential cookies or customise choices. Selections are stored for twelve months before the banner reappears. Withdrawal of consent is immediate and does not affect previously completed form submissions on the Contacts page. Changes take effect on the next page load.
Browser-Level Controls and Consequences of Disabling Cookies
Most browsers offer settings to block or delete cookies. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent the contact form from submitting correctly. Blocking analytics cookies reduces the site ability to improve content relevance for programming learners. Users who disable all cookies can still read blog posts but may experience repeated banner displays and limited preference memory.
International Transfers
Some analytics providers may transfer data outside Malaysia. Such transfers occur only to jurisdictions with adequate protection or under contractual safeguards recognised by the Personal Data Protection Department. Details of safeguards are described in the Privacy Policy available on request through [email protected].
