1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — for example, that you have already seen the cookie notice — so that the site functions as expected.
Cookies do not give the firm access to your device and, in most cases, do not identify you as an individual. They recognise your browser or device, not you personally.
2. How booncounara Uses Cookies
The firm uses cookies only where there is a clear reason to do so. The website is designed to function with a minimal number of cookies. Where analytics cookies are used, the data collected is aggregate and is not shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
The categories below describe each type of cookie the firm may place, what it does, and how long it remains on your device.
3. Cookie Categories
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not collect information about you for marketing purposes and are not used to track your browsing activity on other sites.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
bc_cookie_consent |
Records your cookie preference so the notice is not shown on every page load. | 12 months | First-party / localStorage |
PHPSESSID |
Maintains your session state while navigating the site. Deleted when the browser is closed. | Session | First-party |
csrf_token |
Protects the contact form against cross-site request forgery. Not used for tracking. | Session | First-party |
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help the firm understand how visitors arrive at and navigate the website. The information collected is statistical — it does not identify individual visitors. These cookies are placed only with your agreement.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes users for Google Analytics. Used to generate statistical reports on site usage. | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
_ga_* |
Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
_gid |

_gat |
Throttles the request rate to Google Analytics. | 1 minute | Third-party (Google) |
The firm uses Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. This means the final octet of each visitor's IP address is removed before any data is stored. The resulting data cannot be used to identify you.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made, such as your preferred language or region. The firm does not currently deploy functional cookies beyond what is described in this policy. Should that change, this page will be updated.
3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
The firm does not place marketing or advertising cookies by default. If a campaign-measurement pixel is activated — for example, a conversion measurement tag placed by an advertising partner — it will be described here and will require your prior agreement.
At the date of this policy, no advertising or retargeting cookies are active on this website.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third parties, such as Google. The firm does not control how those third parties use the information collected. You are encouraged to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service listed in this document.

5. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookies are either session cookies — which are deleted when you close your browser — or persistent cookies — which remain on your device for a defined period, or until you delete them. The duration of each cookie used on this website is described in the tables above.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You may change your cookie preferences at any time using the panel below. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled. Changes take effect on your next page load.
Cookie Preference Centre
7. Browser-Level Cookie Controls
In addition to the preference panel above, your browser allows you to view, manage, and delete cookies at any time. Most browsers also allow you to block cookies from specific sites, or to block third-party cookies entirely. The steps vary by browser; your browser's help section will explain the options available.
Please be aware that disabling cookies at the browser level may affect the functionality of websites you visit, including this one.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. There is currently no widely agreed standard for how websites should respond to this signal. The firm does not alter the behaviour of this website in response to Do Not Track requests at this time. This policy will be updated if the firm's approach changes.
9. Changes to This Policy
The firm reviews this Cookie Policy periodically and updates it when the cookies in use change, or when there are developments in law or guidance from the Personal Data Protection Commission (Singapore). The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
You are encouraged to check this page from time to time. Your continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
