1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a website in a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and other browser mechanisms used to remember preferences, maintain functionality, support security, or measure website performance. This Policy uses the term cookies and similar technologies as a general term.
2. Technologies this site uses
| Technology | Type | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| kzen_cookie_consent_v1 | Essential / preference | Records the visitor's cookie choices so the consent notice is not repeatedly displayed and optional technologies are not activated without the applicable choice. | 180 days |
| Theme / preference storage | LocalStorage or similar | Remembers interface preferences such as light/dark theme and accessibility settings where implemented. | Until cleared or changed |
| Google Analytics identifiers | Analytics / third-party | Measures aggregate website traffic, usage, and performance after analytics consent is granted. | Provider-dependent |
| Security / session technologies | Essential / session | May support essential functionality, security, abuse prevention, and authenticated or protected features where applicable. | Session or provider-dependent |
The exact storage and expiry behavior of third-party technologies is provider-dependent. Optional analytics is not loaded by the Website until the visitor grants analytics consent through the consent manager.
3. Consent and preference management
When you first visit the Website, the consent notice explains the categories of technology used and provides separate choices to accept optional technologies, deny optional technologies, or manage preferences. Essential technologies remain active because they are required for core operation, security, and the consent mechanism itself.
The Website stores the consent decision in an essential first-party cookie named kzen_cookie_consent_v1 for 180 days. The stored record contains category choices and does not intentionally contain names, passwords, consultancy records, or document contents. You may change or withdraw your optional consent at any time through the Website's privacy controls or by clearing the Website's stored data in your browser.
4. Essential and functional technologies
Some cookies or browser-storage mechanisms may be necessary for Website operation, security, preferences, or requested functionality. Blocking these technologies may affect features or saved preferences. Theme and similar interface preferences are functional rather than advertising technologies.
5. Analytics
Where analytics consent is granted, the Website may use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic, usage, and performance. The analytics integration is designed so that Google Analytics is not loaded before analytics consent is granted. Analytics providers may process technical information such as IP-related information, browser and device characteristics, pages viewed, events, approximate location, and timestamps according to their own policies and applicable settings.
Analytics is intended to improve the Website and is not intended to provide analytics providers with Kzen PH client records, uploaded consultancy documents, or confidential engagement information.
6. Security and third-party resources
The Website may load or communicate with third-party services used for hosting, security, content delivery, analytics, forms, fonts, or other functions. Providers may process technical information in connection with requests. Their processing is subject to their own policies and applicable agreements.
Kzen PH may use Cloudflare and other infrastructure or security services. The use of these resources does not authorize third parties to use client records, consultancy documents, or other confidential information for advertising purposes.
7. Advertising and behavioral tracking
Kzen PH does not intentionally use Website authentication or functional storage mechanisms to sell personal information or create advertising profiles. Marketing and behavioral-tracking technologies are currently not enabled by the cookie consent manager. If the Website later introduces non-essential advertising, behavioral tracking, or similar technology that requires consent under applicable law, the relevant notice and preference mechanism will be updated before or when that technology is deployed, as required.
8. Retention and disposal
The first-party consent record is configured to expire after 180 days, after which the consent notice may be presented again so that preferences can be renewed. Browser-stored preferences may remain until cleared or changed. Third-party analytics retention is controlled by the relevant provider and applicable account configuration. Visitors can dispose of locally stored cookies and site data at any time through browser controls.
9. Managing cookies and browser storage
You can use the Website's privacy controls to change optional consent, or clear or block cookies and local storage through your browser settings and delete stored site data for business.kzen.ph. Blocking some technologies may affect Website functionality or saved preferences. Clearing local storage may reset interface preferences.
10. Relationship to the Privacy Policy
Information associated with cookies, browser storage, analytics, and security mechanisms may constitute personal information when it can reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual. Such information is therefore handled in accordance with the Kzen PH Privacy Policy, including its provisions on lawful processing, security, retention, disclosure, data-subject rights, and breach response.
11. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Policy when Website technology, cookie usage, analytics, third-party integrations, or legal requirements change. The current version published on this page identifies the applicable Policy.
