COOKIES · SBM_COOKIE

A small preference, a map, and how to opt out.

This page explains what Smart Brand Moves Pte. Ltd. stores in your browser when you visit https://smartbrandmoves.pro, what a third party may store if you open the map on the contact page, and how you can refuse or clear those items. The studio is at 3 Anson Road, #27-01, Springleaf Tower, Singapore 079909. Write to privacy@smartbrandmoves.pro if a line here is unclear.

1. Why a banner appears

We show a dialog labelled Cookie preferences on the first visit and again when a stored choice has expired. The dialog tells you that this Anson Road studio stores a small preference so we remember your cookie choice for 30 days under the key sbm_cookie. It also tells you that Google Maps on the contact page may set third-party cookies if you open that view. Three buttons sit under the text: Accept, Dismiss and Settings. Settings opens a panel with a checkbox for the maps embed and a Save settings button.

The banner is part of the page chrome. It is not an advertisement. It does not score you as a lead. It exists so a choice you make can last for thirty days and so the same question does not interrupt every click.

2. Categories we use

Strictly necessary items keep the site usable. The HTML, the stylesheet at /css/style.css, and the script at /js/main.js must load for the pages to work as designed. Those files do not, by themselves, write a marketing profile. A short-lived host log may record that a page was requested. That log is a technical record, not a campaign tool.

Preference items remember a decision you made. On this site the preference is sbm_cookie. It stores a choice of accept or dismiss, plus an expiry thirty days ahead. The script writes it to local storage in your browser. Local storage is not a classic HTTP cookie, but we treat it with the same respect because it is a stored preference about cookies and maps.

Embedded map items appear only if you load the Google Maps view on /contact.php. They are third-party cookies and similar files set by Google. They are not set by our send.php handler and they are not required to post a brief.

We do not run an advertising category on these pages. We do not drop a pixel that follows you around the city-state market. If that ever changes, this page and the change-log will say so before the pixel appears.

3. The sbm_cookie preference

Name: sbm_cookie. Place: local storage on smartbrandmoves.pro. Life: 30 days from the moment you press Accept, Dismiss, or Save settings. Purpose: remember that you have seen the banner and what you chose, so we can hide the dialog and honour a maps choice.

If you press Accept, we record an accept choice. The banner hides. The maps checkbox is treated as allowed unless you later change it. If you press Dismiss, we record a dismiss choice. The banner hides. We treat maps as refused for that period. If you press Settings, the panel opens. You may tick or untick Allow the Google Maps embed, then press Save settings. Save writes accept when the box is ticked and dismiss when it is not.

When thirty days pass, or when you clear site data, the key expires or disappears. The banner may show again. That is intended. We would rather ask again than keep a silent preference forever.

4. Button labels in plain language

Accept means you are content for the studio to store sbm_cookie and to treat the maps embed as allowed. Dismiss means you want the banner gone and you do not want us to treat maps as allowed. Settings means you want to decide about maps before we store the preference. Save settings means write the choice now and hide the panel.

Those four labels — Accept, Dismiss, Settings, Save settings — are the only controls we give you inside the dialog. You also have the controls in your own browser, which we describe below.

5. Vendor list

Smart Brand Moves Pte. Ltd. — first-party preference sbm_cookie, plus ordinary hosting logs on a Singapore-region host. Purpose: remember a banner choice and keep the site available. Contact: privacy@smartbrandmoves.pro.

Google LLC / Google Maps — third-party embed on the contact page, loaded only when that iframe is requested. Purpose: show 3 Anson Road, Springleaf Tower, on a map. Google may set cookies and collect a network address, a browser type, and map interactions under Google’s own documentation. You can refuse the embed through our Settings panel or by pressing Dismiss. You can still read the address in text and send a brief.

No other vendor is invited to set a cookie from the chrome of this site as of 02 September 2026. Fonts are requested from a stylesheet that may cause a font host to see a network request. That request is for type, not for a stored advertising identifier from our side.

6. How to opt out

Use Dismiss or untick the maps box and Save settings. Clear local storage for smartbrandmoves.pro in your browser if you want the key gone immediately. Block third-party cookies if you want to limit Google’s files even after a map is opened. Use a browser setting that deletes site data when the window closes if you prefer a clean slate each day.

You can also write to privacy@smartbrandmoves.pro and ask us to confirm what the studio itself stores. We can speak to sbm_cookie and to our host logs. We cannot reach into Google’s systems on your behalf; you will need Google’s own tools for that slice.

Opting out of maps does not stop the contact form. Name, email, message and consent still post to send.php and still go to hello@smartbrandmoves.pro. The map is a courtesy for people walking to Tanjong Pagar. It is not a gate.

7. Changes

If we add a vendor, a new key, or a new button label, we will update this page and move the date. 02 September 2026 is the first published cookie note for the studio. Read the privacy notice for how personal data in a brief is handled, and the terms for the engagement itself.
