Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 25 May 2025 | Effective Date: 25 May 2025
This page explains what cookies are, which ones saau-yuen uses on its website, and how you can manage your preferences. We aim to be clear and straightforward — if anything is unclear, please reach out at [email protected].
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have already accepted the cookie notice — so the experience feels a little more familiar next time.
Cookies do not identify you personally on their own. They are a standard part of how most websites operate, and you can control or remove them at any time through your browser settings.
2. Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies. Essential cookies are always active. All others are optional and used only with your consent.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They handle things like saving your cookie preferences and supporting basic navigation. They cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited most and how people move through the content — so we can improve the experience over time. Data is aggregated and not linked to individuals.
Marketing Cookies
These are used to show information about saau-yuen that may be relevant to you on other websites or platforms. We use these sparingly and only with your permission.
Preference Cookies
These remember settings you have chosen — such as display preferences — so you don't have to adjust them on each visit.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Where optional cookies are enabled, some may be placed by third-party services we use to understand site performance or to reach audiences who may be interested in our community. These services may include:
- Google Analytics — aggregated visitor statistics
- Google Maps — the embedded map on our homepage
- Advertising platforms — only if marketing cookies are consented to
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy and cookie policy. We encourage you to review those policies if you have questions about how they handle data.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies fall into two broad categories based on how long they last:
- Session cookies — these last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — these remain on your device for a set period. Our cookie preference record is stored for up to 12 months. Analytics cookies set by Google typically expire after 13–26 months.
5. Your Cookie Preferences
You can adjust your preferences below at any time. Essential cookies are always on. Changes take effect immediately and are saved to your browser.

7. Your Rights
You have the right to withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time. You can do this using the toggles above, or by adjusting your browser settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the website work. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without also blocking basic site functionality.
