This Cookie Policy explains how Pavonics uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit pavonics.blog. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we handle personal data more broadly. If you have questions, contact us at [email protected].
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work as expected and to give website owners basic information about how their site is being used. Cookies do not give us access to your device or any information beyond what they are set to record.
Similar technologies — such as pixels, local storage, and session storage — work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
Pavonics uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential operation: To remember your cookie preferences and keep basic site functions working correctly
- Analytics: To understand how visitors navigate the site — such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where they come from — so we can improve the experience
We do not use cookies to serve advertising, to track you across other websites, or to build profiles for commercial sale to third parties.
3. Cookies We Use
The table below lists the main cookies this website may set or read.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Analytics cookies on this site are set by Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC. Data collected by these cookies is processed by Google in accordance with their own privacy terms. We use this data only in aggregate, anonymised form to understand site usage. We do not combine analytics data with personally identifiable information.
We do not embed third-party advertising, social media widgets, or tracking pixels that set their own cookies.

You may also use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to prevent your visit data from being collected across all websites that use Google Analytics.
6. Essential Cookies and Consent
Essential cookies — those necessary for the website to function — are set regardless of your cookie preference, as they do not collect personal data for tracking or profiling purposes. Under Malaysian law and common practice, consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies.
Analytics cookies are only set if you choose to accept them through the cookie notice.
