Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and retain information about your preferences and actions. Cookies are widely used across the web for purposes ranging from essential functionality to anonymised statistical analysis.

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. This policy explains which categories of cookie are used, the purpose of each, and how you can manage your preferences.

2. Cookie Categories Used on This Website

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled. They are set in response to actions you take — such as submitting the contact form or selecting a cookie preference — and do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided.

Examples: session state cookies, cookie consent preference storage, form security tokens.

2.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation. They may be set by this website or by third-party providers whose services are embedded in the pages. If these cookies are not permitted, some or all of these enhanced features may not function correctly. Accepting functional cookies is optional.

Examples: cookies that remember your cookie preference selection for subsequent visits; font-loading performance cookies set by external font providers.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use this website — for example, which pages are visited most often and how visitors navigate between pages. This information is used to improve the website. All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymised; it does not identify individual visitors. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.

Examples: page view counters, session duration tracking, referral source recording. Data collected is retained in anonymised form by the analytics provider for a maximum of 14 months.

2.4 Third-Party Embedded Content

This website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the contact page. When this page is loaded, Google may set cookies on your device in connection with the map display. These cookies are governed by Google's privacy policy and are not under Kaltevo's direct control. The map is loaded with the loading="lazy" attribute to minimise unnecessary cookie activity.

For information on Google's data practices, refer to policies.google.com/privacy.

3. Cookie Duration

Cookies used on this website fall into two duration categories:

• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period after your visit. The cookie consent preference cookie, for example, is set for 12 months so that you are not asked for your preference on every visit.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit this website, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may choose from three options:

• Accept All: Strictly necessary, functional, and analytics cookies are all permitted.
• Accept Selected: Only the categories you explicitly select are permitted.
• Functional Only: Only strictly necessary and functional cookies are permitted. Analytics cookies are not set.

You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer. This will reopen the consent banner and allow you to revise your selection.

5. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

In addition to the consent banner, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view cookies currently stored on your device, delete cookies individually or in bulk, block all cookies, and block cookies from specific websites.

Note that blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of this website, including preventing contact form submissions from being processed correctly. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

6. Changes to This Policy

This cookie policy may be updated to reflect changes in the cookies used on the website or in applicable regulations. The date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the website following a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
