Cookie Policy
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 work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. Similar technologies (such as pixels, tags, and local storage) are addressed by this Policy in the same way as cookies.
2. Who uses these cookies
Cookies on whalehound.ai are set by ChainLabs Pte. Ltd. ("we," "us," "our") and, where indicated, by third-party service providers we work with (for example, analytics or marketing providers).
3. Your consent
Where required by applicable law, we will only place non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing cookies) on your device after you have given your consent through our cookie banner or preference centre. You can accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" below, or by adjusting your browser settings. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, as they are essential for the Site to function.
4. Categories of cookies we use
Our cookie consent is managed through Usercentrics, a consent management platform (CMP). The table below reflects the services currently configured in our CMP.
| Category | Service | Purpose | Legal basis | Cookie(s) / duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Usercentrics Consent Management Platform | Stores and manages your cookie consent choices so we can honour your preferences on future visits. | Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR — legal obligation | Consent record, approx. 12 months |
| Essential | Google Tag Manager | A tag container that loads other scripts (such as analytics) based on your consent choices. Does not itself set tracking cookies or process personal data. | Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent | No cookies set directly |
| Functional | Google Fonts | Loads web fonts used on the Site from Google's servers to ensure consistent typography. | Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent | No cookies set; font requests are sent to Google's servers |
| Marketing | Google Analytics | Helps us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., pages visited, session duration) so we can improve content and performance. | Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent | _ga, _ga_*: approx. 13 months · _gid: 24 hours |
Essential services are technically necessary for the Site's cookie preference mechanism to function and are not switched off by rejecting non-essential categories, though you can still decline data processing associated with them where our CMP allows.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third parties when you use the Site (for example, analytics or advertising partners). These third parties may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Site and other websites. We do not control these third-party cookies; please refer to the respective third party's own cookie or privacy policy for further information once providers are confirmed in Section 4.
6. How to manage or withdraw consent
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by:
- using the "Cookie settings" button above, or the equivalent link in the Site's cookie banner or footer;
- adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies (this may affect Site functionality); or
- using any relevant device- or browser-level privacy controls, such as opt-out tools offered by advertising networks.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
7. Relationship to our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we collect, use, and protect personal data, including any personal data collected via cookies.
8. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, including as we add, remove, or reconfigure services in our consent management platform. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
