ChinaStudyGuide Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20 October 2026
About this policy
Study Unite Limited operates ChinaStudyGuide. This policy explains cookies and similar technologies used in connection with our website. Questions can be sent to contact@chinastudyguide.com or 7F, Blissful Building, 243–247 Des Voeux Rd Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Local storage can remember preferences on your device. Pixels and similar technologies can report visits or actions to a service provider. Some information may also be transmitted directly between servers; deleting browser cookies alone does not necessarily prevent that processing.
Why we use these technologies
Essential functions include sign-in, account sessions, security and request validation. Disabling the relevant cookies may prevent account or form functions from working.
Preference storage remembers interface choices, including the positions of movable website buttons and whether a study-assessment prompt has been dismissed or completed. Session storage can retain selected assessment answers while you move through the form. It also records referral or campaign information and helps avoid counting the same completed assessment repeatedly.
Analytics tools, including Google Analytics where enabled, help measure visits, traffic sources and completed actions so we can understand website use. Advertising tools, including Meta Pixel and any enabled server integration, can measure advertising results and support relevant Facebook and Instagram ads. These tools may process browser identifiers, device details and event information.
Zoho SalesIQ supports visitor messaging and related visitor information. Some SalesIQ technologies identify returning visitors or visits, rather than solely enabling a chat message. Its cookies and processing depend on the configuration and the features you use. A choice concerning chat does not automatically govern Google or Meta tracking.
External forms, video meetings and other linked services can use their own technologies when you access them. Their privacy and cookie information also applies to their services.
Choices
Read the notice accompanying a cookie or advertising choice to understand which feature it covers. A newsletter opt-in is a separate choice. Reading this policy or using the website does not, by itself, express consent to optional advertising tracking.
The webinar registration form includes wording about Meta advertising measurement. Its form-specific control should not be assumed to manage every analytics or advertising integration across the website.
You can also block or delete cookies and clear site storage through your browser. Doing so may sign you out or remove saved preferences, and browser settings may not stop server-side event processing. For questions about tracking choices or to withdraw a previously given permission, contact contact@chinastudyguide.com. Withdrawal applies to future processing covered by that permission and does not reverse processing already carried out.
Browser storage used by our custom features
The following entries describe the custom CRM code reviewed for this policy. They are browser storage, not HTTP cookies. Names containing {version}, {form} or {event} vary with the installed version or relevant form or event.
| Storage name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
csgLeadLauncherPosition:v1 and csgWebinarLauncherPosition:v1 | Remember your chosen positions for movable buttons | Local storage; no automatic expiry specified in the reviewed code. Remains until cleared, reset or removed by the browser. |
csgLead:{version}:firstSeen and csgLead:{version}:submittedAt | Control when assessment prompts appear | Local storage; no automatic expiry specified in the reviewed code. A prompt suppression period does not itself delete the stored value. |
csgLead:{version}:dismissed | Remember dismissal of the assessment prompt | Browser page session, subject to browser session-restoration behaviour. |
csgLead:{version}:modalProgress and csgLead:{version}:inlineProgress:{form} | Retain selected assessment answers | Browser page session, or removed after successful submission. |
csgLead:{version}:acquisition | Retain referral and campaign information | Browser page session; may be replaced by a subsequent qualifying campaign entry. |
csgLead:{version}:ga4:generate_lead:{event} | Avoid repeating an assessment conversion event within the session | Browser page session. |
Your browser may clear storage sooner. Clearing site data may remove saved preferences and form progress.
Third-party technologies and duration
Session cookies generally expire at the end of a browser session, although browser restoration can affect this. Persistent cookies have an expiry and may be refreshed on later visits. Provider defaults are not a guarantee of the configuration used on this website.
Google documents _ga and _ga_<container-id> cookies with a default two-year duration, which can be configured differently. Zoho documents SalesIQ visitor cookies such as names ending _zldp with a two-year duration and _zldt with a one-day duration. These are provider examples, not confirmation that every listed cookie is placed on your device.
See Google Analytics cookie information, Zoho SalesIQ cookie information, Meta cookie information and Microsoft privacy information. Providers may update their practices independently.
Changes
We may revise this policy as website technologies change. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy for information about data sharing, international processing, retention and privacy requests.
