Cookies Policy
Last updated: 29 September 2026.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage objects that can store or access information on your device. These files may contain identifiers, timestamps or settings that help distinguish your browser or device from others.
Why the Site Uses Cookies
lessonvizo operates a non-commercial informational website focused on Course Programming. Cookies support basic site functions, remember user preferences during a visit and help measure how content about programming courses is used. Without them certain pages would not load correctly and repeated visits would require re-entering the same choices.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. They do not require consent under Malaysian law because they are essential for the service requested. Disabling them prevents the site from working properly.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as language settings or course topic filters. They improve usability but are not required for basic operation. The site relies on legitimate interest for these under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 while providing an easy way to refuse them through the cookie banner.
Analytics or Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors navigate the programming course content. They help identify popular articles and improve page layout. These cookies are used only after consent is obtained through the site-wide banner in line with PDPA consent requirements.
Advertising or Targeting Cookies
The site does not serve behavioural advertising. No cookies are placed for the purpose of building advertising profiles or delivering targeted promotions related to Course Programming.
Social-Media Cookies
Embedded social sharing buttons may set cookies from third-party platforms when you interact with them. These cookies are governed by the policies of those platforms and are only activated after you give consent via the banner.
First-Party versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by lessonvizo and relate to the domain you are visiting. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services. The site uses both types but limits third-party cookies to essential analytics only after consent.
Session versus Persistent Cookies
Session cookies last only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, typically up to 24 months, or until you clear them manually. Retention periods are chosen to balance usefulness with privacy.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Necessary cookies store session identifiers and security tokens. Functional cookies store preference selections. Analytics cookies record page views, referral sources and device type in aggregated form. No category collects names, email addresses or other directly identifying information unless you voluntarily submit it through the contact form.
Consent or Exemption Basis under Malaysian Law
The Personal Data Protection Act 2010 requires consent for processing personal data. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from prior consent because they enable the service you request. All other categories rely on explicit consent collected through the site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

How the Consent Manager Works
The cookie banner appears on first visit. You can accept all categories, reject non-essential categories or manage choices individually. Your selections are stored in a functional cookie and can be changed later by revisiting the banner link in the footer. Withdrawal of consent stops further collection by the rejected categories.
Browser-Level Controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking necessary cookies will stop the site from functioning. Deleting cookies removes stored preferences and may require you to re-enter choices on future visits. The site provides instructions for common browsers on the Contacts page.
International Transfers
Analytics data may be processed by providers outside Malaysia. Appropriate safeguards such as contractual clauses are used. Details appear in the Privacy Policy accessible from the footer.
Policy Changes
lessonvizo may update this Cookies Policy when technology or legal requirements change. The date at the top of the page indicates the latest revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
