Cookie Policy
This policy explains how cookies work on Katanaspin, what they do for you as a visitor, and the choices you have around them. We keep this straightforward: cookies help us remember your preferences and understand how the site is used, but you stay in control.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It allows the site to recognise you on your next visit and recall settings you chose earlier. Katanaspin uses them to keep you logged in, remember your language preference, and make navigation smoother.
Some cookies exist only for your current session and disappear when you close the browser. Others stay on your device for a set period—weeks or months—so your preferences persist between visits. We don't store sensitive personal data in cookies; they hold identifiers that link back to server-side records.
The analytics question
We use analytics cookies to learn which pages are read most, where visitors arrive from, and which device types are common. This helps us improve layout, prioritise updates, and fix problems faster. The data is aggregated—patterns across thousands of visits rather than tracking one person's journey in detail.
Google Analytics is the primary tool here. It sets cookies that measure session duration, bounce rate, and traffic sources. These analytics cookies require your consent under UK data-protection law, and we ask for it through the banner you see on your first visit. Declining them does not break the site; you simply won't contribute to the usage statistics.
Scripts we do not control
Third-party services embedded on Katanaspin—advertising networks, social-media widgets, payment processors—may set their own cookies. We do not control what those scripts collect or how long their cookies last. Each third party operates under its own privacy policy, and your consent to our cookies does not automatically extend to theirs.
Examples include ad-serving platforms that deliver targeted banners based on your browsing history across multiple sites, and social plug-ins that let you share content. Blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings will stop most of these, though some embedded features may stop working as a result.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security, language preference | No (essential for the site to function) |
| Analytics | Usage statistics, page performance, traffic sources | Yes |
| Marketing | Targeted advertising, conversion tracking | Yes |
| Preference | Display settings, layout choices | No (improves experience but not strictly required) |
Your options
You can decline non-essential cookies through the consent banner that appears on your first visit to Katanaspin. Accepting all cookies makes the site faster and more personalised; declining analytics and marketing cookies means we collect less data about your visit but core functions—reading articles, navigating pages—remain unchanged.
Every major browser gives you direct control over cookies, independent of our banner. Here's how to manage them:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party only, or clear cookies when you close the browser.
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Choose Standard, Strict or Custom blocking, or delete cookies individually.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks most third-party cookies by default; you can block all cookies or allow from current website only.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Options include blocking third-party, clearing on exit, or seeing a list of stored cookies per site.
Blocking all cookies will log you out of most sites and reset preferences on each visit. Blocking third-party cookies alone is usually a good middle ground—site functionality stays intact while cross-site tracking drops away.
Revisions
We update this policy when cookie usage changes—new analytics tools, a different ad partner, or shifts in UK data-protection guidance. The date at the bottom shows when the current version took effect. Significant changes are announced through a notice on the homepage, and the revised text replaces the old one immediately.
If you have questions about how Katanaspin uses cookies or want to exercise your data-protection rights, write to [email protected]. We respond within 48 hours during the working week.
