Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 18 April 2025
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and how you can manage them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. Questions can be directed to [email protected].
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to give website owners basic information about how the site is being used.
We also use similar technologies — specifically, localStorage entries — for the same purposes. This policy covers both.
2. How We Use Cookies
This website uses a small number of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or any cookies that follow you across other websites. Our use is limited to what is needed to keep the site running and to understand, in aggregate, how visitors navigate it.
2.1 Essential cookies
These are required for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They include the record of your cookie consent choice (stored in localStorage) so the consent notice does not appear again once you have responded.
2.2 Analytics cookies
Where you consent, we use analytics cookies to understand which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on the site, and what paths they follow through it. This data is aggregated — we cannot identify individual visitors from it. We use this information to improve the site's content and structure.
3. Cookies This Site Sets
The table below lists the specific cookies and localStorage entries in use on this website at the time this policy was last updated.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| kindrid_cookie_consent | Essential | Records whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies, so the consent banner does not reappear on subsequent visits. | 12 months |
| _ga | Analytics | Set by Google Analytics. Distinguishes unique visitors using a randomly generated identifier. Used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for site analytics reports. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Analytics | Set by Google Analytics (GA4). Persists session state across page requests. | 2 years |
| _gid | Analytics | Set by Google Analytics. Distinguishes users within a 24-hour window. | 24 hours |
| _gat | Analytics | Set by Google Analytics. Used to limit the rate of requests to the analytics service. | 1 minute |
Analytics cookies are only set if you accept optional cookies via the consent banner.
4. Third-Party Cookies
The analytics cookies listed above are set by Google LLC, acting as a data processor on our behalf. Google Analytics data is stored on Google's servers. For details of Google's data handling, see Google's Privacy Policy.
This website also embeds a Google Maps iframe on the contact section of the home page. If you interact with the map, Google may set cookies in accordance with their own policies. These cookies are set by Google, not by Kindrid, and are outside our direct control.
We do not embed third-party social media buttons, advertising networks, or other tracking technologies beyond those listed above.
5. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit this website, a consent notice gives you the option to accept or decline optional analytics cookies. Your choice is stored locally and respected on subsequent visits.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, which will cause the consent notice to reappear on your next visit. Instructions for doing this vary by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Clear browsing data → Cookies and other site data
You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites you visit using Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Blocking essential cookies through your browser settings may affect the basic functionality of this website.
6. Retention
Cookie durations are set out in the table in section 3. Where cookies expire before you return, they are re-set on your next visit (subject to your consent preference for analytics cookies).
Analytics data associated with your visit is retained by Google Analytics for 26 months from the date of collection, in line with the retention period we have configured within our Google Analytics account.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy if we change the cookies we use or the services that set them. The most current version will always be available at this URL. The date at the top of the page reflects when it was last revised.
