Overview
Cookies help keep the site functional, improve usability insights, and measure campaign performance. KastHunt blocks non-essential technologies until consent is given and maintains a published record of how those technologies are governed.
1. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies on kasthunt.com. A cookie is a small data file placed on your device when you visit our website.
We use the following categories of cookies:
- (a) Strictly necessary cookies - essential for the website to function. These cannot be disabled as they are required to deliver the website. No consent is required for these cookies.
- (b) Analytics cookies - to understand how visitors interact with our website. We use Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity for this purpose. These cookies collect pseudonymous data about pages visited, session duration, and interaction patterns. These cookies are only activated with your consent.
- (c) Marketing and LinkedIn tracking - we use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to measure the effectiveness of LinkedIn campaigns and to understand the professional characteristics of our website audience. This cookie is only activated with your consent.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using our cookie consent tool, powered by CookieYes, accessible via the 'Cookie Settings' link in our website footer. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics and marketing cookies will not affect your ability to use kasthunt.com.
For full details of the cookies we use, including cookie names, durations, and providers, this Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. How We Manage Cookies and Tracking Responsibly
We apply the following standards to cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies on kasthunt.com:
- (a) Complete inventory - our Cookie Policy lists every cookie, pixel, web storage object, and third-party SDK we use, stating its name, purpose, duration, and whether it is a first-party or third-party technology. We do not use device fingerprinting techniques on kasthunt.com.
- (b) Prior blocking via a Consent Management Platform - we deploy a Consent Management Platform, CookieYes, that blocks all non-essential cookies and tracking scripts until you give consent. Non-essential technologies do not load before you make a choice.
- (c) Equal-prominence consent choices - our consent banner presents a 'Reject Non-Essential' option with the same prominence and on the same banner layer as 'Accept All', requiring no greater effort to reject than to accept.
- (d) Consent logging - we log a record of each consent decision, including the categories accepted or rejected, the date and time, the version of the cookie notice in force, and the page on which consent was given. These records are retained as evidence of consent, a minimum of 3 years, and consent is renewed at least every 13 months.
- (e) No advertising pixels on health-related content - we do not allow advertising or tracking pixels, for example Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or Google Ads remarketing tags, to fire on any page that presents health conditions, symptoms, treatments, or diagnoses.
- (f) Privacy-protective analytics - our analytics are configured, including IP anonymisation, so that no identifiable health data is transmitted to advertising or social media platforms. Where server-side analytics are used, they are configured to the same standard.
- (g) Regular verification - we carry out a quarterly scan of the live website to verify that the cookies and scripts actually blocked or allowed by our Consent Management Platform match the technologies described in the published Cookie Policy.
- (h) Re-consent for new technologies - where we add a new tracking technology, pixel, or analytics tool, we re-prompt for fresh consent rather than relying on consent previously given.
- (i) Review of embedded content - pages presenting health-related content are reviewed for embedded third-party content, such as social share buttons, embedded videos, or map iframes, that may set cookies or transmit browsing data, and such content is removed or gated behind consent where appropriate.
