What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to provide information to site operators, and to enable certain features.

Similar technologies include:

• Local storage: Data stored in your browser that persists until explicitly cleared
• Session storage: Data stored temporarily for the duration of a browsing session
• Pixel tags: Small images that can record when a page has been accessed

This policy covers all such technologies, referred to collectively as "cookies" for convenience.

Our Approach to Cookies

This site is built and operated with minimal technical complexity. Our approach to cookies reflects a commitment to data minimisation.

Cookies We Set

The help.kaharagia.org site is static documentation and does not set any cookies. Your light/dark theme preference, if you change it, is held in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device.

If cookies are introduced in the future, each one will be listed here, with its name, purpose, and duration, before it is enabled.

Cookies We Do Not Use

We do not use:

• Analytics cookies: We do not track individual visitor behaviour or use services such as Google Analytics
• Advertising cookies: We do not display advertisements or track users for advertising purposes
• Social media cookies: We do not embed social media tracking widgets
• Personalisation cookies: We do not personalise content based on browsing history

Categories of Cookies

For reference, the standard categories of cookies are:

• Strictly necessary: essential for site operation (security, network management, accessibility)
• Performance and analytics: measure how visitors use a site
• Functional: remember preferences and enhance functionality
• Targeting and advertising: deliver and measure advertising

This site falls into none of these categories in practice, see "Cookies We Set" above.

Third-Party Cookies

This site does not embed third-party content that would place cookies on your device. We do not use:

• Third-party analytics services
• Embedded social media content
• Third-party advertising networks
• External comment systems

Infrastructure providers (such as hosting services or content delivery networks) may collect technical information for operational purposes. This is addressed in our Privacy Policy.

Managing Cookies

Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View cookies stored on your device
• Delete individual cookies or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block all cookies
• Configure exceptions for trusted sites

Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Data

Impact of Blocking Cookies

Blocking cookies should not affect your experience of this site, since none are set.

Do Not Track

"Do Not Track" (DNT) is a browser setting that asks websites not to track browsing activity. We honour DNT signals, although this has no practical effect here, we do not track regardless of the setting.

Future Changes

Should cookies be introduced in the future, we will:

• Update this policy before implementation
• Clearly identify any new cookies and their purposes
• Provide appropriate notice to users
• Ensure any new cookies serve legitimate operational purposes
• Seek consent where required for non-essential cookies
