Introduction
This Cookies Policy explains how buzzdashup.org uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. As a health insurance provider based in Singapore, we are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). This policy details the types of cookies employed, their purposes, and your options for managing them. It applies to all visitors to our commercial website, which offers insurance products, information on health coverage, and related services.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store information such as your preferences, browsing history, and login details. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage that can track user interactions. These tools allow websites to remember actions and preferences over time, improving functionality without requiring repeated input. In the context of health insurance, cookies may help personalise content related to policy options or claims processes while ensuring compliance with data protection standards.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to operate our site efficiently, enhance user experience, analyse performance, and deliver relevant information about health insurance products. Necessary cookies enable core functions like navigation and form submissions for quote requests. Others support analytics to understand how users interact with insurance comparison tools, while advertising cookies may show tailored health plan promotions. Without these, certain features such as secure account access or personalised recommendations would not function properly.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Our cookies fall into five main categories. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for basic site operation, including security and session management. Functional cookies remember user choices such as language preferences or saved insurance quotes. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated data on site usage to improve content about health policies. Advertising or targeting cookies help deliver relevant promotions for insurance products based on browsing behaviour. Social media cookies may integrate sharing features if enabled, though our site minimises their use to protect sensitive health-related inquiries.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by buzzdashup.org and relate to our domain, handling tasks like user authentication for policy management. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or advertising networks. These may track activity across sites to support targeted health insurance advertising. We carefully select third parties that adhere to Singapore's PDPA requirements, ensuring any data sharing aligns with our privacy commitments.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, used for short-term functions like maintaining login during a quote session. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, ranging from days to years, to remember preferences such as previously viewed health plans. Retention periods vary by purpose; for example, analytics cookies may persist for up to 24 months to track long-term site improvements, while advertising cookies typically expire after 12 months unless renewed by interaction.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Necessary cookies handle minimal data like session IDs for security. Functional cookies store settings such as preferred insurance types. Analytics cookies process IP addresses and page views to generate usage reports. Advertising cookies may capture interests in specific health coverage to personalise ads. All data collection aims to support our services without unnecessary profiling of health details beyond what is required for legitimate insurance purposes under PDPA.
Legal Basis for Cookies Under Singapore Law
In Singapore, cookie use involving personal data requires consent under the PDPA, except for strictly necessary cookies that are exempt if they support core site functions. We obtain consent through our site-wide cookie banner for non-essential categories. Analytics, advertising, and functional cookies rely on explicit user agreement. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting necessary operations. This approach ensures transparency and respects your rights regarding personal data in health insurance contexts.

The following table summarises key cookies used on our site: Necessary - Provider: buzzdashup.org, Purpose: Session security, Duration: Session. Analytics - Provider: Google Analytics, Purpose: Usage statistics, Duration: 24 months. Advertising - Provider: Meta Pixel, Purpose: Ad targeting for insurance, Duration: 12 months.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Our consent manager appears via the cookie banner on first visit, allowing you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise choices by category. You can revisit preferences through a link in the footer to adjust or withdraw consent. Changes take effect immediately and apply across sessions where possible. This tool ensures ongoing control aligned with PDPA consent requirements.
Browser Controls and Consequences of Disabling Cookies
Most browsers allow blocking or deleting cookies via settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent access to quote forms or account features. Blocking analytics could limit our ability to improve the site, while rejecting advertising reduces personalised insurance offers. Note that some site elements may not work fully without cookies, potentially affecting your experience with health policy information.
International Transfers and Privacy Policy Reference
Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside Singapore for processing. We ensure appropriate safeguards under PDPA for such transfers. For complete details on data handling beyond cookies, please refer to our Privacy Policy available on the site.
