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

The Principality of Kaharagia operates policy information sites with minimal technical complexity. Our approach to cookies reflects our commitment to data minimisation.

Cookies We Use

The info.kaharagia.org site currently uses:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences.

Name Purpose Duration
None currently

Note: As a static information site, info.kaharagia.org does not currently require any cookies for basic operation.

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 transparency, we describe the categories of cookies that websites may use, even where we do not currently employ them:

Strictly Necessary

Cookies that are essential for the operation of a website. These enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

Performance and Analytics

Cookies that collect information about how visitors use a website. These help site operators understand traffic patterns and improve services. Kaharagian policy sites do not use such cookies.

Functional

Cookies that enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering preferences. Kaharagian policy sites do not currently require such cookies.

Targeting and Advertising

Cookies used to deliver relevant advertisements and track advertising effectiveness. Kaharagian services do not use such cookies under any circumstances.

Third-Party Cookies

Kaharagian policy information sites do 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.

Clearing Cookies

To clear cookies in common browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings > Privacy, Search, and Services > Clear Browsing Data

Impact of Blocking Cookies

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. However, as Kaharagian policy sites do not currently use cookies, blocking cookies should not affect your experience of these services.

Do Not Track

"Do Not Track" (DNT) is a browser setting that requests websites not to track browsing activity.

Kaharagian policy information sites respect DNT signals, though this is largely academic given that we do not engage in tracking activities regardless of DNT settings.

Future Changes

Should Kaharagian services introduce cookies 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
