Cookies Policy

Last updated: 23 September 2026

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can store or access information such as preferences, login status, or browsing patterns. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons, and local storage that perform comparable functions without using traditional cookie files. On a corporate health platform these files help maintain secure sessions during wellness programme access and record usage metrics without identifying individual users directly.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

headsparkup uses cookies to deliver core services such as secure login for corporate clients, personalised health dashboard views, and performance reporting for employee wellness programmes. Cookies also support essential security measures, remember user selections across visits, and enable aggregated analytics that improve service quality. Without them many interactive features would fail to operate correctly.

Categories of Cookies Used

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies enable basic functions like secure authentication, session management, and protection against fraud. They are always active and do not require consent under Singapore law.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember preferences such as language selection or dashboard layout. They improve usability but are optional and subject to user consent.

Analytics or Performance Cookies

These tools collect aggregated data on page views, navigation paths, and feature usage. They help headsparkup understand how corporate users interact with health resources and optimise content accordingly.

Advertising or Targeting Cookies

Although limited on this site, any advertising cookies would track interest in wellness topics across visits to deliver relevant programme recommendations. Such cookies require explicit consent.

Social Media Cookies

If integrated sharing features are used, these cookies allow content to be shared on external platforms. They are disabled by default and activated only after consent.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by headsparkup and relate to core site functions. Third-party cookies originate from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types may be present, but third-party cookies are disclosed in the table below and governed by the same consent rules.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only while the browser is open and are deleted when the session ends. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a defined period or until manually removed. Retention periods range from a single day for functional settings to twenty-four months for certain analytics identifiers, always aligned with the purpose stated at collection.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies process device identifiers and session tokens solely to maintain security and login state. Functional cookies store preference data to personalise the interface. Analytics cookies record non-identifiable usage statistics to refine corporate health offerings. No category collects sensitive health data without separate explicit consent under the Personal Data Protection Act.

Consent or Exemption Basis Under Singapore Law

Under the Personal Data Protection Act and the Advisory Guidelines on the Do Not Call Registry and Online Behavioural Advertising, strictly necessary cookies operate under the legitimate interests exemption. All other categories require prior consent collected through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting access to essential functions.

Cookie Provider Table

Name: _session – Purpose: Maintain login – Provider: headsparkup – Category: Strictly necessary – Duration: Session
Name: _pref – Purpose: Store layout preferences – Provider: headsparkup – Category: Functional – Duration: 12 months
Name: _ga – Purpose: Aggregate traffic analysis – Provider: Google Analytics – Category: Analytics – Duration: 24 months

How the Consent Manager Works

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular selection of functional, analytics, and advertising categories. Users may accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or customise choices. Settings are stored for twelve months and can be reopened via the footer link to review or change preferences at any time.

Browser-Level Controls and Consequences

Most browsers permit users to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent login and core corporate health features from functioning. Disabling analytics cookies limits the site’s ability to improve services but does not block access to content.

International Transfers

Some analytics providers may process data outside Singapore. headsparkup ensures appropriate safeguards are in place. Details appear in the Privacy Policy available on this site.

Policy Changes and Contact

headsparkup may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. The current version date appears at the top. For questions please use the contact form on the Contacts page or email [email protected]. This Cookies Policy forms part of the broader data protection framework described in the Privacy Policy.
