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 work more efficiently, provide information to website owners, and enhance user experience.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).

2. Legal Framework (Netherlands / EU)

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. The storage of information on your device or access to information already stored on your device (for example through cookies or similar technologies) is regulated under the EU ePrivacy rules (implemented in the Netherlands in the Telecommunications Act, Telecommunicatiewet) and, where personal data are involved, the GDPR/AVG.

Non-essential cookies and similar technologies are only used after you have given consent via our cookie banner, unless a narrow legal exception applies.

3. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

On khodraxncroz.world we use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes, depending on your choices:

• To ensure the website functions properly (strictly necessary)
• To remember your cookie preferences (strictly necessary)
• Where you opt in: to understand how visitors interact with our website (analytics)
• Where you opt in: to measure advertising performance and relevance (marketing)

4. Types of Cookies and Similar Technologies

4.1 Strictly Necessary (always active)

These technologies are essential for the website to function or to record a choice you have made (such as cookie settings). They do not require consent under Dutch/EU ePrivacy rules in the same way as analytics or marketing tools.

• Cookie / storage key: preferences stored under the name cookie_consent in your browser's local storage (not a third-party server). This remembers whether you accepted, rejected, or customised optional categories.
• Purpose: Storing your cookie choices so the banner does not reappear on every visit.
• Retention: Until you clear site data or we change the storage key.

Legal basis (GDPR): Legitimate interest in operating the site and respecting your choices; where only strictly necessary data are processed, consent may not be required for placement under ePrivacy in line with guidance for essential cookies.

4.2 Analytics (optional — only if you consent)

If we integrate analytics tools (for example Google Analytics), they may set cookies or use similar technologies to collect aggregated usage data. At present, this website does not load third-party analytics scripts; your banner choice is stored locally for when such tools are enabled in the future.

Legal basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), obtained through the cookie banner.

4.3 Marketing (optional — only if you consent)

Marketing or advertising tags (for example Google Ads, Meta Pixel) may set cookies to measure campaigns or show relevant ads. At present, this website does not embed third-party advertising pixels; consent choices are stored so that if we add these services later, they can respect your preferences.

Legal basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

5. Cookie and Storage Details (Current Implementation)

The following reflects what this site uses today:

Strictly necessary

• localStorage: cookie_consent — JSON object storing your choices for necessary, analytics, and marketing categories and a timestamp.

Analytics and marketing (third-party)

None are loaded by default on this site. If we add services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or similar, we will update this policy and list specific cookie names, providers, and retention periods before or when they are activated.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

6.1 Through Our Website

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences. You can change these settings at any time by clicking on "Cookie Settings" in the cookie banner.

6.2 Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

• View cookies stored on your device
• Delete individual or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific or all websites
• Set preferences for first-party vs. third-party cookies

Please note that blocking certain cookies may impact your experience on our website and limit functionality.

Browser-Specific Instructions

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
• Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
• Edge: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies

7. Third-Party Cookies and Tools

When third-party analytics or advertising tools are not embedded on a page, they cannot set their own cookies. If we add such tools in the future, they may include services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion measurement, or similar providers. We will only activate them in line with your consent choices where required, and we will list specific providers and cookie names in an updated version of this policy.

For any active third-party service, please refer to that provider's privacy and cookie information.

8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Industry practice for DNT is not fully standardised. We treat rejection of non-essential cookies via our banner as the primary way to limit optional technologies on this site. If we implement automatic recognition of GPC or DNT in the future, we will describe it here.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised.

10. Your Rights

Under the GDPR and other applicable laws, you have rights regarding your personal data, including data collected through cookies. For more information about your rights, please see our Privacy Policy.
