Cookie notice

Effective date: May 17, 2026
Last updated: May 17, 2026

The short version

When you read articles on www.kodainya.com, we set no cookies on your device.

We do not use analytics, advertising, retargeting, or social-media tracking. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

The remainder of this page exists for completeness — so you can verify the above yourself, and so it’s clear what would change if our practices ever did.

1. What a cookie is

A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. The next time you visit, the browser sends the cookie back, which lets the site remember things like your login session or your language preference.

Cookies are sometimes used for tracking — recording what you read, building a profile, sharing that profile with advertisers. Kodainya does not use cookies for any of that.

2. Cookies we set

The complete list of cookies set by Kodainya, for any kind of visitor, is below. If a cookie is not listed here, we do not set it.

2.1 For ordinary visitors (reading articles)

None. Loading any page on www.kodainya.com as a visitor sets zero cookies on your device.

You can verify this in your browser’s developer tools: open DevTools → Application → Cookies → www.kodainya.com. The list will be empty.

2.2 For signed-in editors (admin area only)

The editorial admin area uses a session cookie to keep editors signed in. This cookie is only set after an editor signs in; ordinary visitors never receive it.

This is a strictly necessarycookie in the sense used by GDPR Recital 30 and the ePrivacy Directive — the admin panel cannot function without it. It carries no personal data about visitors and is not used for analytics, advertising, or any other purpose.

3. What we don’t use

For clarity, here are common tracking technologies that Kodainya does not use:

• Analytics— no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no Matomo, no Mixpanel, no any other analytics service
• Advertising and retargeting— no Google Ads, no Google AdSense, no Floodlight, no DV360, no Trade Desk, no Adform, no Criteo, no Dstillery
• Social-media pixels— no Meta Pixel, no LinkedIn Insight Tag, no Twitter/X Pixel, no TikTok Pixel, no Pinterest Tag
• Visitor identification— no Leadfeeder, no Clearbit, no 6sense, no Albacross
• Session replay— no Hotjar, no FullStory, no Microsoft Clarity, no LogRocket
• Heatmaps— no Mouseflow, no Crazy Egg
• Survey overlays— no Qualtrics, no Typeform-style on-site popovers
• Tag managers— no Google Tag Manager, no Tealium, no Segment

If we ever add a tool that uses cookies or similar tracking technology, this page will be updated before the tool launches, and the homepage will carry a banner announcing the change for at least 30 days.

4. Third-party content

We sometimes link to external sites (research papers, news articles, manufacturer documentation). Clicking a link takes you to that site, where their cookie policy applies, not ours.

We do not embed third-party iframes, social-media widgets, or video players on article pages, so simply reading articles does not load any third-party code onto your device.

5. How to control cookies in your browser

Even though we set no tracking cookies, you may want to manage cookies set by other sites you visit. Every major browser provides cookie controls:

• Chrome:Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox:Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari:Settings → Privacy
• Edge:Settings → Cookies and site permissions

For a general resource on cookies and how to manage them, see allaboutcookies.org.

6. Changes to this notice

Any change to what cookies we set will be reflected here, and the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change. Material changes will also be announced by a banner on the homepage for at least 30 days.
