8. Internet stuff, advertising, cookies and other whatnots

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating web domain on your subsequent visits to that domain. Most web pages contain elements from multiple web domains so when you visit the website, your browser may receive cookies from several sources.

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device. Cookies allow you to navigate between pages efficiently, remember preferences and generally improve the user experience. They can also be used to tailor advertising to your interests through tracking your browsing across websites.

Hepmil’s websites, channels and platforms may use “cookies”, as well as other forms of technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. When you visit any of our channels through your computer, mobile device, or any other device with Internet connectivity, the technology deployed may automatically record certain browsing data, such as the technical data and usage data. We use these to help us understand user behavior and a variety of other cases, such as security and fraud prevention, to analyse how you interact which specific parts of the website, and to facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches.

9. Country-specific laws

This privacy policy is designed to be compliant with the Personal Data Protection Act of Singapore, since our parent company (Hepmil Media Group Pte Ltd) is based in Singapore. For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (which is the European Union’s primary data protection law), Hepmil does not intend to nor does it specifically target subjects of the European Union (although when we expand and grow and eventually do, we’ll definitely be seeing what we need to do to update this policy and our practices).

The practices set out in this privacy policy are intended to apply to and will be practiced by all of Hepmil’s group of companies, although each Hepmil company in a jurisdiction outside of Singapore (shout out to our friends in Malaysia and The Philippines!) may be further subject to its own laws, regulations and authorities. In such event, this privacy policy will be subject to such additional laws, and such additional laws shall be applied in addition to what is set out in this policy.
