Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 May 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how INTEREL Pte. Ltd. (“INTEREL”, “we”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on interel.com (the “Website”). For broader information on our processing of personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Pixels, local-storage objects and similar code serve comparable functions; we refer to all of them collectively as “cookies.”
2. Why we use cookies
Strictly-necessary cookies
– What they do: keep the site running securely (page routing, CSRF protection, banner memory).
– Typical examples on interel.com: Squarespace “crumb” token, “ss_cookieAllowed”.
– Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art 6 (1)(f); UAE PDPL Art 7).
Functionality cookies
– What they do: remember choices you make, such as closing a pop-up or announcement bar.
– Typical examples: “squarespace-popup-overlay”, “squarespace-announcement-bar”.
– Legal basis: legitimate interest.
Analytics cookies
– What they do: tell us how visitors use the site so we can improve it (page popularity, navigation paths, device mix).
– Typical examples: Squarespace Analytics set “ss_cid”, “ss_cvr”, “ss_cpvisit”, “ss_cvisit”, “ss_cvt”.
– Legal basis: consent (opt-in via the cookie banner).
Marketing / Preference cookies
– What they do: enable embedded media (e.g., YouTube videos) or forms (Jotform) and remember your preferences; may also collect viewing statistics.
– Typical examples: YouTube cookies “YSC”, “VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE”, “PREF”; Jotform session and CookieConsent cookies on the /contact page.
– Legal basis: consent (opt-in via the cookie banner).
Strictly-necessary cookies load automatically; all others load only after you click “Accept” in the cookie banner.
3. Cookies in use
A live list of every cookie—including provider, purpose, lifespan, and whether it drops before consent—is maintained in the table immediately below this policy.
The list currently covers:
Squarespace cookies that deliver the Website and its built-in analytics.
YouTube cookies (e.g., YSC, VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, PREF) that load when you play an embedded video.
Jotform cookies (e.g., JOTFORM_SESSION, CookieConsent) set on the /contact page, and elsewhere where a form is embedded.
We update the list whenever we add or remove a service.
4. Managing your cookie preferences
On your first visit a banner allows you to Accept or Decline Analytics / Marketing cookies.
You can revisit your choice any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
Most browsers also let you delete or block cookies entirely via their settings.
Note: If you decline cookies, embedded videos may remain blocked and the contact form may not remember your previous entries.
5. International transfers
Some cookies (e.g., YouTube and Jotform) send data to the United States or other jurisdictions. Transfers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses. Further details are in our Privacy Policy.
6. Retention
Squarespace Analytics data: 14 months or until you withdraw consent, whichever is sooner.
Server log files: 30 days.
Individual cookie lifespans are shown in the cookie list table.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR, UAE PDPL and CPRA you may access, correct or delete your data, object to processing, or withdraw consent at any time. To exercise your rights, email compliance @ interel.com. We respond within 30 days.
