Cookie Policy

kaji.studio does not set cookies, and does not use local storage, session storage or any comparable way of keeping information on your device. There is no cookie banner on this site because there is nothing to ask you about.

This is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight, and it is why the site works the same whether or not your browser blocks third-party storage.

We use Vercel Web Analytics to see roughly how many people visit and which pages they read. It is built to work without cookies: instead of storing an identifier in your browser, it derives a value from your IP address, your browser's user agent and the page path, and that value changes every day.

The practical consequences are worth stating plainly. We cannot recognise you when you come back tomorrow, we cannot follow you to another website, and we never see your raw IP address — Vercel discards it after deriving the daily value. What we get is counts, not people.

We rely on our legitimate interest in understanding whether the site works (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Because nothing is stored on or read from your device, the consent rule in the ePrivacy Directive does not apply.

The app is a separate thing from this website and does not use cookies either. It does keep data on your device — that is what lets it work offline — and the Kaji Meals privacy policy describes what and why.

If we add the ability to sign in to this website, we will need a session cookie so your browser can remember you are signed in. A cookie like that is classed as strictly necessary and does not require consent, but we will describe it here before it is used.

If we ever wanted advertising, cross-site measurement or analytics that relies on cookies, we would have to ask your permission before setting anything, and you would see a consent banner. We have no plans to do that.

If anything here is unclear, or you think the site set a cookie it should not have, write to us at the address at the bottom of this page and we will look into it.
