Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 April 2025 · Effective date: 12 April 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Koi Reserve Limited uses cookies and similar storage technologies when you visit our website at koi-reserve.pro. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes more broadly how we handle personal information.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function as expected, to remember your preferences, and to give operators a basic understanding of how their site is used. Cookies do not themselves contain personal information such as your name or contact details, but they may be linked to such information when combined with other data we hold.
Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — may perform comparable functions. Where we refer to cookies in this policy, we include those technologies unless stated otherwise.
2. Who Places Cookies on This Site
Cookies on our website may be set either by Koi Reserve (first-party cookies) or by third-party services we use, such as analytics or mapping providers. In each case, this policy describes what category of cookie is involved and why it is present.
3. Categories of Cookie We Use
We group cookies into four functional categories. The banner displayed on your first visit allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as navigation, security, and the display of your cookie consent choice. They cannot be switched off without affecting how the site works. No personal data other than session identifiers is stored.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made — for example, your cookie consent preferences or display settings. They improve your experience by avoiding repeated prompts on return visits. Disabling them may mean you are asked to re-state preferences each time you visit.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are viewed most often, how long visitors remain, and where they arrive from. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. We use this information to improve the structure and content of our site.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be set by advertising or social media platforms accessed through our site. They track activity across websites to help operators serve advertisements relevant to your interests. We do not currently run paid advertising campaigns and do not intentionally place marketing cookies. If any originate from embedded third-party content, you may disable them without affecting site function.
4. Specific Cookies in Use
The table below describes cookies present on our website. Cookie names and durations may change as our site is updated; this table reflects our current usage.

5. Third-Party Services
Our website uses a small number of third-party services that may place their own cookies:
- Google Analytics — Used for aggregated website analytics. Google may process data in accordance with its own privacy practices. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via Google's opt-out browser add-on.
- Google Maps — An embedded map is displayed on our homepage to indicate our office location. When the map loads, Google may set cookies in accordance with its own cookie policy. No interaction with the map is required.
We do not embed social media sharing buttons, video players, or advertising networks that would place additional third-party cookies without your awareness.
6. Your Choices
When you first visit our website, a notice appears offering you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is remembered for 12 months. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will cause the notice to appear again.
You may also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are currently stored
- Delete individual cookies or all cookies from a site
- Block cookies from specific sites or all sites
- Be notified when a new cookie is set
Please note that declining or removing cookies may affect how parts of our website function. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without impacting your ability to use the site.
Browser-specific instructions for managing cookies can be found via your browser's help resources. Common browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals in a standardised way, as there is no widely accepted technical standard for doing so. We describe our full data practices in this policy and in our Privacy Policy.
8. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may, in combination with other information we hold, constitute personal data under Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO). Where this is the case, we handle that data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Analytics data collected via cookies is processed in aggregated, non-identifiable form where possible.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable regulations. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically if you have an interest in how cookies are used on our site.
