Cookies Policy

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store information such as your preferences, login status and browsing behaviour. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can also collect data about your interactions with our Course Programming platform. These tools help bookzenix remember details across visits without requiring you to re-enter information each time. In Malaysia, the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 governs how personal data collected through these technologies must be handled, requiring consent where the data qualifies as personal data.
Why bookzenix Uses Cookies
We use cookies to operate our commercial website effectively, deliver Course Programming content, maintain security and improve user experience. Without them, features such as course progress tracking, personalised learning paths and secure account access would not function properly. Cookies also support analytics that show how visitors navigate our lessons, allowing us to refine programming tutorials for Malaysian learners.
Categories of Cookies We Deploy
Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions including user authentication and shopping-cart style enrolment in courses. Functional cookies remember your chosen language or preferred course difficulty level. Analytics or performance cookies measure page load times and popular modules. Advertising or targeting cookies may be used to promote relevant programming courses. Social-media cookies allow sharing of blog posts about coding best practices when the blog feature is active.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by bookzenix and stay within our domain. They handle login sessions and course enrolment data. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks that support video lessons. These may track activity across multiple sites to deliver aggregated insights or targeted course recommendations while complying with Malaysian data protection expectations.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies and Retention Periods
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and disappear once you close it, ideal for temporary course access. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, such as thirty days for language preferences or up to two years for returning-user recognition. Retention is limited to what is necessary for the stated purpose under the PDPA.
Data Handled and Specific Purposes by Category
Necessary cookies process identifiers like session IDs to keep you logged in during programming exercises. Functional cookies store settings such as video playback speed. Analytics cookies collect IP addresses, browser type and page views to understand which Course Programming modules attract the most engagement. Advertising cookies may record interests inferred from visited lessons to show relevant promotions. Each category serves a distinct operational or improvement goal.
Legal Basis for Each Category Under Malaysian Law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the legitimate interests of providing a functional service. Other categories rely on consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. The PDPA requires clear notice and choice for personal data processing, which our banner and this policy satisfy.
How to Manage or Withdraw Your Cookie Choices
Our consent manager appears on first visit and allows selection of categories. You can reopen the banner via the footer link to adjust preferences. Rejecting non-essential cookies may limit analytics accuracy or personalised recommendations but will not block core Course Programming access. Browser settings also let you block or delete cookies; doing so may require repeated logins or loss of saved progress.
Browser Controls and Consequences of Disabling Cookies
Most browsers offer options to refuse all cookies or prompt before acceptance. Disabling necessary cookies prevents enrolment and account features on our site. Disabling analytics reduces our ability to improve course quality. International transfers of cookie-derived data occur only to jurisdictions with adequate protection or under contractual safeguards, as detailed in our separate Privacy Policy.
