Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function, improve their efficiency, and in some cases to gather information about browsing behaviour. Cookies set by the website you visit are referred to as "first-party cookies." Cookies set by other parties are referred to as "third-party cookies."

Klymus does not use third-party cookies of any kind. All cookies described in this policy are first-party and are essential to the fundamental operation of the site.

2. How Klymus Uses Cookies

Klymus is a static, non-commercial educational website. It does not engage in advertising, user profiling, or behavioural tracking. Accordingly, the use of cookies on this site is minimal and limited strictly to the following purpose:

• Consent preference storage: A single cookie is set when you interact with the cookie consent banner to record your stated preference (accepted or declined). This prevents the banner from reappearing on every subsequent page visit during your browsing session and across return visits within the cookie's lifespan.

No other cookies are set by this website. No cookie is used to identify you personally, to track your behaviour across sessions or websites, or to serve any commercial function.

3. Cookies Used on This Website

The following table provides a complete and accurate listing of all cookies that may be set when you visit Klymus:

4. Cookies We Do Not Use

Klymus explicitly does not use the following types of cookies:

• Analytics cookies — no platforms such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, or similar are integrated on this website.
• Advertising and targeting cookies — no advertising networks, remarketing pixels, or promotional tracking of any kind are present.
• Social media cookies — no social media platform integrations or sharing widgets that set cookies are used.
• Performance cookies — no tools measuring page load times, user interactions, or behavioural paths for optimisation purposes are in use.
• Functional preference cookies (beyond consent) — no cookies are used to remember language settings, display preferences, or other user-configured options beyond the consent banner state.

5. Legal Basis for Using Essential Cookies

Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the provision of a service explicitly requested by the user are exempt from the requirement to obtain prior consent. The single cookie used by Klymus falls within this category. Nevertheless, in the interest of transparency and user autonomy, Klymus presents a consent banner on first visit, giving users full awareness and control.

6. Managing and Deleting Cookies

You have full control over cookies stored on your device. You can manage and delete cookies through your web browser settings. The method varies by browser:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions
• Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

Deleting or blocking the Klymus consent cookie will cause the cookie consent banner to reappear on your next visit. It will have no other effect on site functionality, as the single cookie stored performs no structural role in delivering page content.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be revised from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulatory requirements, or site structure. Any changes will be published on this page with the date of update indicated at the top. As Klymus uses only one essential cookie, significant changes to this policy are not anticipated.
