Types of Cookies We Use
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They help you navigate our website and keep you logged in during your visit.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits to Kagoz.

Third party cookies are set by external services we use, such as Google Analytics. These cookies are controlled by third parties according to their own privacy policies.
Third Party Services
We use the following third party services that may set cookies:
Google Analytics

Google Analytics uses cookies to track visitors across sessions and distinguish between new and returning users.

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

Consequences of Disabling Cookies
If you disable or block cookies, some features of Kagoz may not work properly. You may experience:
- Limited website functionality and features
- Need to log in every time you visit.
- Loss of personalized settings and preferences
- Difficulty using search and navigation features

Essential cookies are required for basic website operation. Without them, you cannot access your account or use core features.
Do Not Track
Some browsers have a Do Not Track feature that sends a signal to websites requesting not to track user activity. Kagoz does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals because there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to these signals.
You can still control tracking by managing cookies through your browser settings as described above.
Mobile App Cookies
When we launch mobile apps for Android and iOS in the future, those apps may use similar technologies to cookies for analytics and functionality. We will update this policy when mobile apps are available.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a new "Last Updated" date.
Significant changes will be announced on our website or by email. Your continued use of Kagoz after changes take effect means you accept the updated Cookie Policy.
