This policy must be checked against the actual hosting, analytics, consent-management and third-party tools used on the live website.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files or similar browser technologies that a website may place or read on your device. They can be used for essential operation, preferences, security, analytics or other functions.
2. Current static website position
The current KEW public website build is a static front-end. It does not intentionally include advertising cookies, behavioural profiling or a live analytics platform in the files created for this build.
The live hosting environment may still use technical or security technologies that are outside the static page code. This policy should therefore be confirmed against the production hosting setup before launch.
3. Types of cookies KEW may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These may be required for essential website operation, security, accessibility, load balancing, fraud prevention or other functions necessary to provide the service requested by the user.
Preference cookies
These may remember choices such as language, interface preferences or other settings where such functionality is introduced.
Analytics cookies
KEW may later use analytics tools to understand website performance and how visitors use public pages. If non-essential analytics cookies are introduced, the live website should provide appropriate notice and consent controls where required.
Third-party cookies
Embedded third-party services may set their own cookies or similar technologies. Examples could include maps, videos, social content, payment pages or other external services introduced in future.
4. Consent and non-essential cookies
Where applicable law requires consent before placing or reading a non-essential cookie, KEW intends to obtain that consent before the relevant technology is activated.
Refusing non-essential cookies should not prevent access to ordinary public content, although some optional functionality may be limited.
5. Browser controls
Most browsers allow users to view, block or delete cookies and to control whether websites may store them. Browser settings differ by provider and device.
Blocking all cookies may affect website functions that depend on strictly necessary or preference-related browser storage.
6. Similar technologies
The term “cookies” in this policy may also include similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels or other browser-based identifiers where they perform a similar function.
7. Third-party services
Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. KEW should identify material third-party technologies in this policy or a consent interface once the final production stack is known.
8. Changes to cookie use
If KEW adds analytics, advertising, embedded media, third-party widgets or other technologies that materially change cookie use, this policy and any cookie-consent interface should be updated before or when those technologies are activated.
9. Privacy
For information about how KEW intends to handle personal information, see the Privacy Policy.
