Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 14 April 2025  |  Effective Date: 14 April 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have previously acknowledged a notice — so that your next visit may feel more straightforward. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, though in combination with other data they may constitute personal data under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia).

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Hikmah Syarie at hikmahs.live. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out the broader context of how we handle personal data.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise cookies into four groups based on their purpose. Each category is described below.

Strictly Necessary Always Active

These cookies are required for our website to function. They enable core capabilities such as security, accessibility of our contact form, and your cookie consent preference itself. Without them, services you have requested — such as completing our consultation enquiry form — cannot be provided. These cookies cannot be switched off.

hs_cookie_consent hikmahs.live Stores your cookie consent decision 1 year
XSRF-TOKEN hikmahs.live Cross-site request forgery protection Session
Analytics & Performance

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how people move through our website. The information collected is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. We use it to identify pages that may be difficult to navigate or content that is not reaching people who need it, and to make considered improvements over time.

This includes embedding the Google Maps iframe that shows our Putrajaya office location, and retaining language or display settings across visits. Disabling these may limit certain page features.

CONSENT Google Stores Google service consent state 2 years
Advertising & Targeting

These cookies are set by advertising partners to understand whether our website reaches people who may benefit from our services. They do not track personal identifiers relating to your legal matter. We use them with restraint, consistent with our professional obligations, and they are entirely optional.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia), we process data collected through cookies on the following bases:

  • Strictly Necessary cookies: Legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website. No consent is required as these cannot be disabled without preventing core functionality.
  • Analytics, Functional, and Advertising cookies: Your consent, given through our cookie notice when you first visit our website. You may withdraw or adjust your consent at any time using the preference controls on this page or the cookie notice on our homepage.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third parties' use of cookie data. The relevant third parties and their privacy documentation are listed below:

5. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser

Beyond the preference panel above, you may manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. The steps vary by browser:

Google Chrome

Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data

Mozilla Firefox

Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

Apple Safari

Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

Microsoft Edge

Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on our website. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without impairing core page functions.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals your preference not to be tracked across websites. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how sites should act on them. If you wish to limit tracking, we recommend adjusting cookie preferences through the controls above or through your browser settings.

7. Retention

Each cookie has its own lifespan, as indicated in the tables in Section 2. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or until you clear them. We do not retain cookie-derived data in association with your legal matter files.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after such changes indicates your awareness of the updated policy. For material changes affecting optional cookies, we may present a refreshed consent notice.
