Cookie Policy

Policy version: 1.0 · Last updated: 12 October 2026.

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on Chimundo (chimundo.com), owned and operated by Kahunam Ltd. It covers their purpose, duration and how you can manage them. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy.

Definition

A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies can remember your choices, support a sign-in or help measure visits. Scripts and other technologies can also access information on your device.

Policy

We store a necessary cookie when you save your cookie choice. Google Analytics and its cookies remain off until you explicitly accept Analytics. The banner offers Accept analytics, Reject optional and Manage choices. You can read the website whichever option you choose.

Use Cookie settings here or in the footer at any time. To withdraw consent, choose Reject optional or switch Analytics off and save. Withdrawal removes Analytics cookies this site can access and reloads the page to stop the Google script. It does not automatically delete previously collected data.

Cookie list: Analytics — non-essential

These first-party cookies are set by Google Analytics only after consent. Our configured duration is shorter than Google’s default. Google describes their function in its Analytics cookie documentation.

Advertising personalisation and Google signals are disabled. This integration does not load Meta Pixel or advertising tags. It omits site-search terms, URL query strings and form contents. Analytics user/event retention is two months, separate from the lifespan of cookies stored in your browser; aggregated reports can last longer.

Third-party and embedded content

Following an external link takes you to another service with its own policies. Embedded media and avatar services may receive technical information when they load. Their processing is separate from our Google Analytics controls; consult the relevant provider’s privacy notice. Our Privacy Policy describes the third-party services relevant to this site.

Managing cookies in your browser

Your browser can show, block or delete cookies. Consult its privacy settings or help pages. Removing the consent cookie makes this website ask for your choice again. Blocking authentication cookies may affect sign-in; rejecting Analytics does not prevent you reading articles. For general guidance, see AboutCookies.org.

Changes and contact

We will update this policy and the date above when our use of cookies changes. Where necessary, we will ask for a fresh choice before enabling new optional processing. For questions about cookies or your information, use Kahunam’s contact form and mention Chimundo.
