Cookie Policy

Effective date: December 29, 2025
Last updated: 13 July 2026

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage and web beacons, can serve related purposes. They can help a website function, remember choices, secure services, and deliver content or advertising.

Cookies may be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain stored until they expire or are deleted.

How do we use cookies?

Kagool Studios uses cookies for the following purposes.

Essential cookies

These technologies are used to operate and secure the Website. They include:

• CookieYes, which displays our consent controls and remembers your cookie preferences
• Security and network features needed to deliver the Website

Newsletter signup form

Our newsletter form is provided by Kit. The Website does not request the Kit form when a page first loads. It connects to Kit only after you select the button to load the form. At that point, Kit and its infrastructure providers may process technical request data and set security cookies. If you submit the form, Kit also processes the information you enter and your subscription choice.

For more information, see the Kit Privacy Policy.

Embedded media

YouTube videos are shown as local placeholders and do not connect to YouTube until you choose to load a video. When loaded, the video uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain, but Google may still process technical data and use cookies or similar technologies.

Advertising & personalisation cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on article pages. The AdSense script is requested only after you consent to advertising cookies through our consent controls. Google and its partners may then use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this and other websites
• Deliver personalised or non-personalised advertising

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to show ads tailored to your interests.

You can learn more about how Google uses data here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Third-party cookies

Depending on your choices and the features you use, cookies or similar technologies may be set by:

• CookieYes, for consent management
• Kit, when you request or submit the newsletter form
• Google AdSense, after you consent to advertising cookies
• YouTube, when you choose to load an embedded video
• Affiliate providers, when you follow an affiliate link to another website

The Website does not currently use Google Analytics. Third parties control their own technologies, so we recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie policies.

Manage cookie preferences

You can modify your advertising-cookie choice through the consent preferences shown on the Website. The Kit form and YouTube videos are controlled separately: neither service is requested until you select its load control. You can also avoid affiliate tracking by not following affiliate links.

Different browsers also offer methods to block and delete cookies used by websites. You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies:

• Chrome: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050
• Safari: https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
• Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox
• Internet Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-delete-cookie-files-in-internet-explorer

If you are using a different web browser, please refer to its official support documentation.

Advertising opt-out options

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or using industry opt-out tools.

• Google Ad Settings
• AboutAds.info

Legal basis for UK and EU users

Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR):

• Strictly necessary technologies are used to operate and secure the Website and remember your privacy choices
• Advertising cookies and similar technologies are used only after you provide consent
• The Kit form and YouTube content are requested only after you choose to load them

Where required, we use cookie consent banners to collect and manage your preferences.

Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our services.

Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated Last Updated date.
