Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 May 2025
1. What This Policy Covers
This policy explains how akalworka uses cookies and similar small files on our website. We want to be open about what is stored on your device, why, and how you can manage it.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser. They help a site remember information between visits or pages — things like whether you have accepted a notice, or which pages are most visited.
2. The Cookies We Use
We keep our cookie use modest. The table below describes each category.
| Category | Purpose | Duration | Consent required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Remembers your cookie preference so we do not ask repeatedly. Required for the site to behave consistently. | 12 months | No — these are needed for the site to function |
| Analytics | Helps us understand which pages are visited and where visitors come from, using anonymised data only. No personal details are collected. | Up to 13 months | Yes — only placed after you accept |
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies that follow you across other websites, or cookies that identify you personally.
3. Essential Cookies in Detail
Cookie preference store
When you respond to our cookie notice, we save your choice in your browser's local storage (not as a traditional cookie, but serving the same purpose). This means we will not show the notice again on future visits. It does not contain personal data and is not shared with anyone.
4. Analytics Cookies in Detail
If you accept analytics cookies, we use a privacy-conscious analytics tool to collect anonymised data about how visitors use the site. This may include:
- Which pages were visited and in what order
- Approximate geographic region (country or city level only)
- Device type (mobile or desktop)
- How long a page was viewed
This data helps us improve the site for future visitors. It is not used for advertising and is not combined with any personal data you may have shared with us through a contact form or email.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the contact section. Google may place cookies when that map loads. These are governed by Google's own Cookie Policy, which you can review at policies.google.com. We do not control what Google stores.
Other than the Google Maps embed, we do not embed third-party scripts that place their own cookies.
6. Managing Your Preferences
You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies for this site. Most browsers provide a straightforward way to do this through their settings.
You can also prevent cookies from being placed by adjusting your browser settings. Each browser is slightly different — you can usually find the right option under Privacy or Security settings. Note that disabling all cookies may affect how some websites (including this one) function.
