This Cookie Policy explains how Kabiri ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at kabiri.co (the "Site"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the site owners.
Cookies can be "persistent" (they remain on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session" cookies (they are deleted when you close your browser).
2. Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on the Site:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firebase Auth | Strictly Necessary | Manages user authentication and keeps you signed in securely. | Session / Persistent |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics cookies used to distinguish users and track site usage patterns. | Up to 2 years |
| _gid | Analytics | Google Analytics cookie used to distinguish users. | 24 hours |
| _gat | Analytics | Google Analytics cookie used to throttle the request rate. | 1 minute |
| _gcl_au, _gcl_aw | Advertising | Set by Google Ads to record that you arrived from one of our ads, so a later sign-up can be attributed to it. | 90 days |
| IDE, test_cookie | Advertising | Set by Google on doubleclick.net to measure ad performance and to check whether your browser accepts cookies at all. | Up to 13 months / 15 minutes |
| _fbp, _fbc | Advertising | Set by the Meta pixel to identify your browser, so a sign-up can be attributed to an ad you saw on Facebook or Instagram. | 90 days |
| fr | Advertising | Set by Meta on facebook.com and used to deliver and measure advertising. | 90 days |
| kabiri_cookie_consent | Strictly Necessary | Stores your cookie choice (in local storage, not a cookie) so we do not ask again on every page. | 6 months |
The advertising cookies above are only set if you turn on the Advertising category in the cookie banner. Turn it off, or reject all, and none of them are written.
We also use Google Tag Manager to load the tags listed here. Tag Manager sets no cookies of its own and collects nothing about you on its own account - it is the container the other tags sit in, and it obeys the choice you make in the banner before any of them run.
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as authentication and security. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
4. Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, anonymous form. We use this data to improve the Site and understand usage patterns. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We implement Google Consent Mode v2. Analytics and advertising storage both start as "denied" and stay that way until you say otherwise in our cookie banner, so nothing is placed on your device unless you opt in. Analytics and advertising are separate choices - accepting one does not accept the other. If you later change your preferences, your choice takes effect immediately without requiring a page reload.
5. Advertising Cookies
We advertise Kabiri on Google and on Meta (Facebook and Instagram). If you accept advertising cookies, those platforms can tell that a visit which began with one of our ads later turned into a sign-up. That is what the category is for: measuring whether our advertising works, and not paying for ads that don't.
Concretely, accepting this category allows Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing, and the Meta pixel, both loaded through Google Tag Manager. It means Google and Meta receive a record that a browser which saw or clicked an ad reached a particular page on our site, and it allows them to show you Kabiri ads again elsewhere. They may combine that with data they already hold about you from their own services.
If you decline - by rejecting all, or by leaving Advertising off - none of these cookies are written and neither platform is sent anything that identifies your browser. Our ads still run; we just measure them less precisely. You are never worse off on the Site for saying no.
You can also control ad personalisation directly with each company, whatever you choose here: Google My Ad Center and Meta ad preferences.
6. How to Control Cookies
You have the right to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that if you disable cookies, some features of the Site may not function properly.
- Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit the Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- Change or Withdraw Consent: You can revisit your choice at any time - . We also re-ask every six months, so a choice you made long ago doesn't stand indefinitely.
- Opt-out Links: For analytics cookies, you can use the Google Analytics opt-out link above. For advertising, see the Google and Meta ad preference links in section 5.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the setting of these cookies. The third parties that may set cookies on the Site include:
- Google (Analytics, Tag Manager, Ads, Fonts) - see Google Privacy Policy and Google Ads Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms
- Meta (the Facebook/Instagram advertising pixel) - Meta Platforms Ireland Limited acts as a joint controller with us for the collection and transmission of pixel data, under Meta's Controller Addendum. See the Meta Privacy Policy. These cookies are only set if you accept the Advertising category.
- Firebase (Authentication) - see Firebase Privacy & Security
- Stripe (Payment processing) - Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention when processing payments. See Stripe Privacy Policy
- DocuSign (Electronic signatures) - when you send a file for signature, DocuSign may set cookies for authentication and the signing session. See DocuSign Privacy Policy
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
