Cookies Policy

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store or access information such as preferences, session identifiers and browsing behaviour. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can serve the same purposes. Under Singapore law these tools may collect personal data when they identify or are reasonably likely to identify an individual.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

journastreamxe.org uses cookies to operate the Course Health platform, remember user settings, measure performance, and deliver relevant educational content. Without them many core functions would not work. The site also uses them to comply with legal obligations and to improve services for users in Singapore.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These enable basic functions such as page navigation, secure login and form submission. They are always active because the site cannot function without them.

Functional Cookies

These remember choices such as language, course progress and display preferences to provide a smoother experience.

Analytics or Performance Cookies

These collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site, helping us understand traffic sources and popular course pages.

Advertising or Targeting Cookies

These track browsing habits to show personalised course recommendations and measure advertising effectiveness.

Social-Media Cookies

These are set by third-party platforms to enable sharing of course content and to track engagement across social networks.

First-Party versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by journastreamxe.org and relate only to our domain. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers such as analytics services or advertising networks that may operate across multiple sites.

Session versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a defined period or until manually removed, allowing recognition on future visits. Typical retention periods range from a few days for analytics identifiers to two years for advertising preferences.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Necessary cookies handle authentication tokens and security settings. Functional cookies store preference strings. Analytics cookies process page views, device type and referral URLs. Advertising cookies capture interest signals to match users with relevant Course Health programmes. All processing is limited to what is required for the stated purpose.

Consent or Exemption Basis under Singapore Law

Strictly necessary cookies operate under the exemption in the Personal Data Protection Act because they are essential for the service requested. All other categories require consent. journastreamxe.org obtains consent through the site-wide cookie banner before setting non-essential cookies. Consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

How the Consent Manager Works

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular selection of categories. Users may accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or customise choices. Selections are stored for twelve months. To change preferences later, revisit the banner via the footer link or contact [email protected].

Browser-Level Controls

Most browsers allow blocking or deleting cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent login and course access. Disabling analytics or advertising cookies may reduce personalisation but will not stop the site from functioning.

International Transfers

Some third-party providers may transfer data outside Singapore. journastreamxe.org relies on contractual safeguards and refers users to the Privacy Policy for further details on cross-border data protection measures.
