Last Updated:
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Fundara uses them on this website, and how you can control your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers the broader topic of personal data. By using our website, you agree to the use of strictly necessary cookies as described below.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, remember your preferences, and provide website operators with information about how their site is being used.

- Persistent cookies — files that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
- First-party cookies — set directly by the website you are visiting
- Third-party cookies — set by a domain other than the one you are visiting (e.g. analytics or advertising services)

For queries regarding your rights under the PDPA, please see our Privacy Policy or contact the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC).
