Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 May 2025. This policy explains what cookies we use on kpjournal.com, what they do, and how you can control them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or whether you have dismissed a notification — and can help us understand how the site is used.

Some cookies are set by us directly ("first-party cookies"); others are set by third-party services we use ("third-party cookies"). Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (retained until they expire or you delete them).

2. How we obtain your consent

When you first visit kpjournal.com, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to:

  • Accept all cookies — this includes essential and analytics cookies.
  • Essential only — only strictly necessary cookies are set; analytics cookies are not activated.

Your preference is stored in a first-party cookie named 83nbq_cookie_consent so the banner does not appear on subsequent visits. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies or contacting us at [email protected].

3. Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as filling in a form. You can set your browser to block them, but some parts of the site will not work as a result.

Cookie name Purpose Duration Type
83nbq_cookie_consent Stores your cookie consent preference so the banner does not reappear. 12 months First-party, persistent
83nbq_session Maintains your session state across page loads (e.g., quiz progress). Session First-party, session

4. Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve content and navigation. They collect information in an anonymised and aggregated form. We only set these cookies with your consent.

Cookie name Purpose Duration Type
_ga Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users. IP anonymisation is enabled; no cross-site tracking. 2 years First-party, persistent
_ga_* Google Analytics — stores session state. 2 years First-party, persistent
_gid Google Analytics — distinguishes users across sessions. 24 hours First-party, persistent

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. We do not share analytics data with Google for advertising purposes, and we have a Data Processing Agreement in place with Google LLC. More information on how Google uses data is available at policies.google.com.

5. LocalStorage

In addition to cookies, our quiz pages use browser localStorage to save your progress between quiz steps within a session. This data is stored entirely within your own browser and is not transmitted to our servers. It persists until you clear your browser's site data or it is overwritten.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. The following links provide guidance for common browsers:

Please be aware that deleting or blocking cookies may affect the functionality of this and many other websites you visit.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Updates will be reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If we make significant changes, we will display a notice on the Site.
