Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 March 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on a visitor's device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when they visit a website. They are widely used to enable websites to function correctly, to remember visitor preferences, and to gather aggregated information about how a site is used.
Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, when combined with other data — such as an IP address — they may be capable of identifying an individual. This policy explains what cookies are used by kalden.info, their purpose, and how visitors can manage them.
2. Cookie Categories
Cookies used on kalden.info fall into the following categories:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as session management, security, and the cookie consent banner itself. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking fundamental site features.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| kfn_consent | Stores cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
| kfn_session | Maintains session state across page views | Session |
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on pages, and where they navigate from. This data is used solely to improve the publication's content and navigation. These cookies are only set with the visitor's consent.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors (Google Analytics) | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Persists session state (Google Analytics) | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes unique visitors over 24 hours | 24 hours |
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices made by the visitor — such as display preferences — to provide a more personalised experience on return visits. Functional cookies are set only with consent and do not track activity across other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on this website embed content from third-party services. Where such embeds result in cookies being set by those third parties, this is noted below. The publication does not control third-party cookie placement and recommends reviewing the relevant third-party privacy policies.
- — Google Maps (contact page): Google may set cookies when the Maps iframe loads. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
- — Google Fonts: Font requests may be logged by Google's servers. See Google's privacy policy for details.
3. Managing Cookie Preferences
When a visitor first accesses kalden.info, a cookie consent banner is displayed. The banner provides three options:
- — Accept All: Enables all cookie categories, including performance and functional cookies.
- — Accept Selected: Enables only the categories selected through the banner interface.
- — Essential Only: Enables only strictly necessary cookies. Performance and functional cookies will not be set.
Preferences can be reviewed and changed at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of any page on this website. This action reopens the consent banner.
In addition to the site-level controls, most browsers provide settings that allow visitors to refuse, delete, or manage cookies independently. The method varies by browser:
- —Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- —Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- —Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- —Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
Disabling essential cookies through browser settings may impair the functioning of certain website features.
4. Opt-Out of Analytics
Visitors who wish to opt out of Google Analytics data collection across all websites (not only kalden.info) may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Selecting "Essential Only" on the cookie banner at kalden.info will prevent analytics cookies from being set on this website specifically.
5. Changes to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time as the website's technical infrastructure changes or as applicable law is revised. The date of the most recent update appears at the top of this page. Where changes materially affect how cookies are used, the consent banner will be re-displayed to existing visitors.
