Cookie Policy

This page explains how Bo Lin Senior Living Residence uses small data files called cookies when you visit our website. We want to be straightforward with you about what they are, which ones we use, and how you can manage your own choices. Nothing here is complicated, and you are welcome to read as much or as little as you find helpful.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a very small text file that a website places on your device — your computer, tablet, or phone — when you visit. It stays there so the site can recognise your device on a return visit and remember certain preferences. Cookies do not contain personal information on their own; they are more like a polite note that helps a website remember who has been by before.

Websites use them for a range of purposes: keeping you signed in, understanding which pages people find useful, and occasionally tailoring content to what a visitor has shown interest in. Our aim is to use only what is genuinely needed to keep the site working well for you.

The Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always Active

These keep the basic functions of our site working: maintaining your session as you browse, protecting form submissions, and remembering your cookie preferences so we do not ask you again. Without them, the site simply would not work properly.

Examples: session token, cookie-consent record, CSRF protection

Analytics Cookies

These tell us which pages visitors find helpful and where people tend to leave. That understanding lets us quietly improve the site over time. The data we gather is aggregated — we never look at any individual's journey.

Examples: page view counts, session duration, referral source (via Google Analytics)

Typical duration: up to 2 years (persistent)

Marketing Cookies

These allow advertising networks to show our content to people who may genuinely benefit from knowing about us — for example, through Google or social media platforms. If you prefer not to be included in that kind of targeting, you can switch these off here.

Examples: ad click tracking, interest-based audience segments

Typical duration: 30 to 90 days (persistent)

Preference Cookies

These remember small choices you make — your preferred language, your region, or settings you have adjusted — so that on your next visit the site feels familiar rather than starting fresh.

Examples: language selection, regional display settings

Typical duration: up to 1 year (persistent)

Your Cookie Preferences

Use the toggles above to choose which optional cookies you are comfortable with. Your selection is saved to your browser and will be remembered on future visits. You may return to this page at any time to change your mind.

Your preferences have been saved.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by services that help us run the site rather than by Bo Lin directly. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies that are separate from ours.

  • Google Analytics — helps us understand site traffic in aggregated, anonymised form.
  • Google Maps — powers the location map on our homepage. Google may set its own cookies when the map loads.
  • Social media platforms — if you follow a link to Facebook or similar, that platform may place its own cookies once you arrive there.
  • Advertising networks — used only if you have accepted marketing cookies above.

We review the third-party services we rely on periodically and keep this list current. If you have questions about any specific service, do get in touch at [email protected].

How Long Cookies Last

Session Cookies

These exist only while your browser window is open. When you close your browser they are removed automatically — nothing is stored on your device afterwards.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a set period — typically between 30 days and 2 years depending on their purpose. You can remove them at any time through your browser settings.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser. The steps vary slightly depending on which browser you use — the guides below cover the most common ones.

Google Chrome

Open Chrome and click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Choose Settings, then navigate to Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. From there you can block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or clear existing cookies for individual sites. For mobile Chrome on Android or iOS, go to Settings > Privacy to find the same controls.

Mozilla Firefox

Open Firefox and choose Settings from the menu (three lines, top-right). Go to Privacy & Security. Under the Cookies and Site Data heading you can clear stored cookies, block cookies from specific sites, or choose enhanced tracking protection. Firefox for Android has similar settings under the browser's main menu.

Apple Safari

On a Mac, open Safari and go to Safari > Settings > Privacy. You can choose to block all cookies or prevent cross-site tracking. To clear existing cookies, click Manage Website Data. On iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data to review or remove cookies by site.

Microsoft Edge

Click the three-dot menu in Edge and select Settings. Go to Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data. Here you can block or allow cookies, set exceptions for individual sites, and clear any cookies currently stored. Edge on mobile follows a similar path under the browser's main settings.

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of our site — or other websites — display and function. Essential cookies in particular are needed for the site to work.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to withdraw any consent you have given for optional cookies at any time. Simply return to this page and adjust the toggles, or use your browser settings. Withdrawing consent will not affect anything that happened before you withdrew it.

You also have the right to ask us what personal data (if any) is associated with cookies we place, and to request its deletion. Disabling optional cookies means some features of our site may work less smoothly, but the core pages will remain accessible.

If you have any questions about cookies or your data rights, please write to us at [email protected] and we will do our best to help.
