Legal & Privacy
Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use on the Wira AI website, and how you can manage them.
Last updated: 15 May 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — for example, your language preference or whether you have already dismissed a notice. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or access files on your device.
Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixels work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
2. Who We Are
The website wiraaimyr.biz is operated by Wira AI, an online AI development school based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. For cookie-related queries you may contact us at [email protected].
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We divide the cookies used on this site into four categories.
3a. Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, form submission, and security. They do not collect personal information for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Stores your cookie preference (localStorage). Not sent to our server. | Persistent (until cleared) |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier. Maintains session state across page requests. | Session |
3b. Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use it to improve content and structure.

3c. Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to measure the reach and effectiveness of our advertising. They help us understand which channels bring visitors to our site, so we can spend our marketing budget wisely. No personal profile is sold to third parties.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |

3d. Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made on the website — such as dismissing notices — so that you do not need to repeat them on future visits.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Remembers your chosen consent settings (analytics, marketing, preferences on/off). | Persistent (until cleared) |
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control how those services use the data they collect. The main third parties are:
- Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager — Google Privacy Policy
- Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) — Microsoft Privacy Statement
- Meta (Facebook Pixel) — Meta Data Policy
- Google Maps — embedded on our homepage to show our location. Google may set cookies when the map is loaded.
5. Legal Basis
We set essential cookies on the basis of legitimate interest, as they are required for the site to operate. We set analytics, marketing, and preference cookies only with your consent, which you provide (or withhold) through the notice that appears on your first visit. This is consistent with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and relevant guidance.
6. Your Consent and How to Change It
When you first visit our website, a notice invites you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key cookieConsent.
You can review or update your preferences at any time using the panel below. Changes take effect immediately and will apply from your next page view onwards.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the website works. Guidance for common browsers:
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. There is currently no agreed technical standard for how websites should respond to this signal. We do not currently alter our data collection in response to DNT signals, but you can use the preference panel above to control non-essential cookies directly.
9. Retention of Cookie Data
Cookie data is retained for the duration stated in the tables above. Analytics and marketing data processed by third parties is subject to their own retention policies, which are linked in Section 4.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our practices or the law changes. When we make significant updates, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Where required, we will re-request your consent.
