1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to help websites work properly, to remember your preferences, and to give website owners a general understanding of how their site is being used.
Cookies do not contain any information that directly identifies you as a person. For more detail on how we handle personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on this website for a small number of clear purposes. We keep our use of cookies as light as possible — only what is necessary for the site to function and for us to understand how it is being used so that we can improve it.
We do not use cookies to serve advertisements, to track you across other websites, or to build a profile of your personal interests.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The table below sets out the categories of cookies on the Lok Yin website:
| Category | Purpose | Required? | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Enables the website to function correctly — for example, remembering that you have acknowledged our cookie notice. | Always on | Session or up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Helps us understand which pages are visited most often and how visitors move through the site. Data is aggregated and not linked to individuals. | Optional | Up to 24 months |
| Preference | Remembers settings or choices you have made, such as your cookie preferences, so you are not asked repeatedly. | Optional | Up to 12 months |
We do not use marketing cookies, advertising cookies, or social media tracking cookies of any kind.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website includes an embedded Google Maps frame to help visitors find Lok Yin at 28 Stubbs Road, Mid-Levels, Hong Kong. Google may set cookies in connection with this feature. These cookies are subject to Google's own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
Apart from this, our website does not load content from or set cookies on behalf of any other third-party services.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a notice will invite you to accept or decline optional cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting the site, at which point the notice will appear again.
You may also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Below are links to guidance for the most commonly used browsers:
- Google Chrome — managing cookies
- Safari — managing cookies
- Mozilla Firefox — managing cookies
- Microsoft Edge — managing cookies
Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how the website functions. Optional analytics and preference cookies can be declined without any effect on your ability to browse the site or submit an enquiry.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting that signals your preference not to be tracked across websites. As we do not engage in cross-site tracking, this signal does not change the way our website operates for you. We welcome the intent behind this preference and it is consistent with our own approach to minimal, respectful data use.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we introduce new features or if requirements change. The current version will always be available here, with the most recent update date shown at the top. We encourage you to revisit this page if you would like to stay informed.
