Cookies Policy
Last updated: 18 September 2026
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your device. These tools can record details such as browser type, device identifiers, pages visited and interaction patterns. In Singapore the use of such technologies is governed by the Personal Data Protection Act and related guidelines issued by the Personal Data Protection Commission.
Why the site uses them
showbiznu uses cookies and similar technologies to operate its corporate programming services reliably, to understand how visitors interact with the site and to improve the overall experience for users in Singapore and elsewhere. Without these technologies some functions would not work correctly and the site would be unable to remember user choices between visits.
Categories of cookies and similar technologies
Strictly necessary
These cookies enable core functions such as page navigation, form submission and security features. They do not require consent under Singapore rules because they are essential for the service to function.
Functional
Functional cookies remember preferences such as language settings or display options. They enhance usability but are not strictly required for basic operation.
Analytics or performance
These technologies collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site. They help identify popular content and performance issues so that showbiznu can refine its corporate programming resources.
Advertising or targeting
Advertising cookies are used only when third-party providers place them for campaign measurement. showbiznu does not run personalised advertising on its own site but may allow limited measurement cookies from trusted partners.
Social-media
Social-media cookies may appear if embedded content from platforms is present. They are controlled by the respective social networks and fall under their own policies.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by showbiznu and remain under its control. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types are used on this site, but third-party cookies are limited to those necessary for service delivery and measurement.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention
Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until manually removed. Typical retention periods range from a few hours for session identifiers to a maximum of twenty-four months for analytics identifiers, after which the data is automatically deleted or anonymised.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Strictly necessary cookies handle authentication tokens and session identifiers to keep users logged in during a visit. Functional cookies store preference flags such as theme selection. Analytics cookies record page views, referral sources and device characteristics to produce usage statistics. All data collected is used solely to maintain and improve the corporate programming website and services offered by showbiznu.
Consent or exemption basis under Singapore law
Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements under the Personal Data Protection Act. All other categories rely on prior consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Users may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal. showbiznu maintains records of consent choices in accordance with PDPA obligations.

How the consent manager works
The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows users to accept all, reject non-essential or customise choices by category. Selections are stored in a first-party cookie and can be changed at any time by revisiting the banner through a link in the footer. Withdrawing consent immediately stops the relevant cookies from being set on future visits.
Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow users to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling all cookies will prevent the site from functioning correctly, including loss of saved preferences and inability to submit contact forms. Users in Singapore who disable cookies should be aware that some corporate programming resources may become inaccessible.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may process data outside Singapore. showbiznu ensures appropriate safeguards are in place. For full details please refer to the Privacy Policy available on this site.
