Cookie Policy

This policy explains the cookies used on kalem.info, why they are used, and how visitors can manage their preferences or withdraw consent at any time. Consent can be updated using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

01 — What Are Cookies

Cookies Explained

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator about how the site is used.

Cookies set by the website operator — in this case Kalem — are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other services (such as analytics providers) that appear on the website are called third-party cookies. Both types are described below.

How to Control Cookies

When you first visit kalem.info, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept all cookies, accept partial cookies (strictly necessary and functional only), or accept functional cookies only. Your preference is saved in the kalem_consent cookie.

You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of any page on kalem.info. This will reopen the consent banner, allowing you to revise your selection.

You may also control cookies at the browser level. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites. Disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of kalem.info, particularly the contact form submission process.

04 — Third-Party Services

External Services and Their Cookies

kalem.info uses Google Analytics (Google LLC) for aggregated traffic analysis. Google Analytics sets the _ga, _ga_* and _gid cookies described above. These cookies are set only when analytics consent has been given. For more information about Google Analytics data practices, refer to the Google Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

The contact page includes an embedded Google Maps iframe for location display. Google may set its own cookies when the Maps embed loads. These cookies are governed by Google's own cookie and privacy policies. To prevent Google Maps cookies from being set, you may block iframes in your browser settings, which will disable the map display but will not affect any other kalem.info functionality.
