Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2025 | Applies to: kabini.info

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how kabini (operating under the legal name kabini, hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at kabini.info (the "Website"). This policy is intended to give you clear, transparent information about how we collect, use, and manage data through cookies in compliance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, where applicable, provincial privacy laws such as Quebec's Law 25 (Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector).

By continuing to use our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where your consent is required by law, we will request it before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide reporting information to site owners.

Cookies are set by either the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party organizations whose content or services appear on that website (known as third-party cookies). Cookies can be stored for different periods of time:

• Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your movements from page to page so you are not asked to provide information you have already given during a visit.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed and for a defined period of time. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to information contained in or obtained from cookies. When we use the term "cookies" in this policy, we also refer to similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage, which function in a similar manner.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on the Website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential to the operation of the Website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the Website cannot function properly, and they cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Under Canadian privacy law, strictly necessary cookies generally do not require your prior consent as they are essential for delivering the service you have requested. However, we still disclose their use transparently in this policy.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference, region, or username) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of the Website. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often, and whether they receive error messages from web pages. This data helps us understand how the Website is being used and allows us to improve its performance and the user experience. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We may use third-party analytics providers to assist us with this analysis.

3.4 Preference / Cookie Consent Cookies

These cookies are used to remember your cookie consent choices so that we do not repeatedly ask for your preferences each time you visit the Website. They store a record of your decision to accept or decline specific categories of cookies.

4. Detailed Cookie Table

The table below provides specific details about the cookies used on kabini.info, including their names, purposes, duration, and type:

Note: This table reflects cookies currently in use and is updated periodically as the Website evolves. Third-party cookies may be subject to change by the respective third-party providers.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Our Website may load resources from third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. These third parties may include:

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with the Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour, such as pages visited, time spent on the Website, and the source of traffic. This data is aggregated and anonymized. Google may transfer this data to servers in other countries. For more information, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
• Google Fonts: Our Website may use Google Fonts, a font delivery service operated by Google LLC. When Google Fonts are loaded, your browser may send requests to Google's servers, which may result in Google setting cookies or collecting your IP address and browser information. For more information, please see Google's Privacy Policy.
• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): We may use CDN providers to serve static assets such as JavaScript libraries, stylesheets, or images more quickly. These CDNs may collect technical data such as your IP address and browser type.

We do not control these third-party cookies and they are subject to the respective privacy policies of those third parties. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party services accessible through our Website.

6. Cookie Consent Mechanism

In accordance with Canadian privacy legislation — including PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25 — we obtain your meaningful consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. When you first visit kabini.info, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that:

• Clearly explains what cookies we use and for what purposes;
• Allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences on a category-by-category basis;
• Provides a link to this full Cookie Policy for further information;
• Records your choice and stores it in a preference cookie so you are not asked again during your consent period (typically 12 months).

You may withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link available in the footer of the Website, or by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Website, at which point the consent banner will appear again.

Please note that strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent as they are essential to the functioning of the Website. You cannot opt out of these cookies without significantly affecting the usability of the Website.
