This policy explains how Katanaspin uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our site. We keep things straightforward: cookies help us remember your preferences and understand how the site is used, but you stay in control of what gets stored.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. We use them to recognise your browser across visits, keep you logged in where applicable, and remember settings like language or display preferences. Without cookies, you would need to re-enter information every time you navigate between pages.
Some cookies are essential — they make the site function. Others are optional and require your consent before they are set. You decide which category to allow through the banner that appears on your first visit.
The cookies we set
We categorise cookies by their purpose. Each type serves a distinct role, and only the first category is required for the site to work.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security, load balancing | No |
| Analytics | Traffic measurement, behaviour analysis | Yes |
| Marketing | Advertising delivery, conversion tracking | Yes |
| Preference | Language, layout, display settings | No |
Necessary and preference cookies persist for the duration of your session or up to 12 months, depending on their function. Analytics and marketing cookies typically expire after 24 months but may be refreshed if you return to the site within that window.
The analytics question
When you consent to analytics cookies, we collect anonymised data about page views, session duration, and navigation paths. This helps us identify which sections are most useful and where the site could be clearer. No personal information is linked to this data — we see aggregate patterns, not individual behaviour.
Marketing cookies work differently: they track your journey across sites to serve relevant advertising. If you decline them, you will still see adverts elsewhere online, but they will not be tailored to your activity on our site.
Scripts we do not control
Some pages embed third-party content — video players, social-media widgets, payment processors. These services may set their own cookies when their content loads, and their use is governed by the privacy policies of those providers rather than ours.
We limit third-party embeds to established platforms, but we cannot control what they store or how long it persists. If you block third-party cookies in your browser, embedded content may not display correctly or may lose functionality.
Managing what third parties see
Most browsers let you block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones from the site you are visiting. This strikes a balance: the site functions normally, but external trackers are stopped. The exact setting is usually found under Privacy or Content Settings in your browser's preferences.
Your options
You can manage cookies at two levels: through our consent banner when you first visit, or directly in your browser settings. The banner lets you accept or decline optional categories in one click. Your choice is stored in a preference cookie so you are not asked again on every visit.
To change your mind later, clear your cookies and revisit the site — the banner will reappear. Alternatively, adjust your settings in the browser itself:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → Block third-party cookies, or See all site data and permissions to remove specific entries.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data, or choose Standard/Strict tracking protection.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data, or enable Prevent cross-site tracking.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Blocking all cookies will disable some features — you may be logged out repeatedly, preferences will not be saved, and parts of the site may fail to load. Blocking third-party cookies and marketing cookies has no effect on core functionality.
Declining without breaking the site
If you decline optional cookies through our banner, necessary cookies are still set — these are the ones required for the site to operate securely and deliver the page you requested. Preference cookies may also be set to remember your decline choice, so you are not prompted again.
Declining analytics means we lose visibility into how the site is used, which can slow improvements. Declining marketing means adverts you see elsewhere will not reflect your activity here. Neither choice prevents you from browsing, registering or using any feature we publish.
Revisions
We update this policy when our use of cookies changes — for example, when we add a new analytics tool or retire an old one. The date at the foot of this page shows when it was last revised. Significant changes are announced through a notice on the homepage.
Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. If a change requires fresh consent under data-protection law, we will ask for it explicitly rather than assume it from your continued browsing.
Questions
For questions about how we use cookies or to request deletion of data stored under your profile, write to [email protected]. We respond within 48 hours during business days.
