Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the site.

2. Cookies We Use

Kaarastu uses a minimal set of cookies:

• →Theme preference — stored in localStorage to remember your light/dark mode selection. Not a cookie, but functions similarly. No data is sent to our servers.
• →Google Analytics — if you consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our website. GA4 sets cookies including _ga and _ga_*. IP addresses are anonymized.
• →Form submission — our contact form uses Formspree, which may set functional cookies required for form processing and spam prevention.

3. No Advertising or Tracking Cookies

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party tracking scripts beyond Google Analytics. We do not sell or share your data with advertisers.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some website features.

5. Consent

Analytics cookies are only loaded after you provide consent through our cookie banner. Essential functionality (theme preference, form processing) works without consent as these are strictly necessary.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
