1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how pages are used, and, where you have agreed, support measurement tools that help us improve the experience we offer.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on tao-yuen.pro, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences at any time. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains in broader terms how we handle personal data.
2. Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies on this website. The table below describes each one.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies allow core functions of the site to work. Without them, things such as remembering your cookie choice cannot operate. Because they are essential to the basic function of the page, these cookies are placed without requiring your consent. They do not collect information about you for marketing purposes and cannot be used to track your browsing on other websites.
4. Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and where visitors typically arrive from. This helps us make the information we provide more useful and straightforward to navigate.
The data collected by these tools is anonymised or pseudonymised where possible and is never used to identify you as an individual. Analytics cookies are only placed after you acknowledge our cookie notice.
5. Marketing Cookies
We use a Meta (Facebook) Pixel to understand, at a broad level, whether our advertisements are reaching people who may genuinely find Tao Yuen relevant. The Pixel does not allow us to identify you personally, and we do not use it to retarget individuals with repeated advertisements in an intrusive way.
Marketing cookies are only placed after you acknowledge our cookie notice. You may withdraw your agreement at any time using the method described in Section 7 below.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use, including Google and Meta. We do not control those cookies directly. Each provider has its own cookie and privacy policies:
We encourage you to review those policies if you would like further information about how those organisations handle data.
7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You may adjust your cookie preferences at any time in the following ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Please refer to your browser's help pages for instructions. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site display.
- Google Analytics opt-out: You may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics.
- Meta ad preferences: You can manage your advertising preferences through the Meta Ads Preferences panel.
- Contact us: If you have any questions about cookies on this site, you are welcome to contact us directly at [email protected].
Withdrawing your agreement does not affect the lawfulness of any use of cookies before you withdrew it.
8. Cookies and the Law in Hong Kong
Hong Kong does not currently have specific legislation governing the use of website cookies. We nonetheless follow internationally recognised good practice — including providing clear notice of what cookies we use, explaining their purpose, and giving you straightforward control over non-essential cookies — as an expression of our respect for your personal data and your autonomy as a visitor to our site.
Personal data collected through cookies is handled in accordance with Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486). Please see our Privacy Policy for full details.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or as laws and best practices evolve. The most current version will always be available on this page, with the "Last Updated" date revised accordingly. We encourage you to check back periodically if you would like to stay informed.
