Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 30 April 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Kintsugi Forum uses them on this website, and the choices available to you. Our aim is to be straightforward about our practices so you can make an informed decision about your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have previously agreed to certain terms — so that the next time you visit, the experience is consistent.
Cookies do not give websites access to your device or personal files. They are widely used to make websites work more reliably and to give the owner basic information about how the site is being used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect how some parts of a site function.
2. Cookies We Use
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services that we use for analytics and advertising purposes. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies that govern how they handle data collected through their cookies.
- Google Analytics — used to analyse site traffic and visitor behaviour
- Google Ads — used to measure the performance of paid advertising campaigns
- Meta Pixel — used to measure conversions from Facebook and Instagram campaigns
- Microsoft Advertising (Bing) — used to track conversions from Bing campaigns
Where these services are in use, they operate only if you have consented to the relevant cookie category above.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies may be classified by how long they remain on your device:
Session Cookies
Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to keep your session consistent during a single visit.
Persistent Cookies
Cookies that remain on your device for a set period after you close your browser, ranging from a few days to up to 26 months depending on the purpose.
