Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how OpenKinematics (operated by Lagodish Tech) uses cookies and similar technologies on openkinematics.com. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use comparable technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage; for the purposes of this policy and EU Directive 2002/58/EC (the "ePrivacy" Directive), we treat them the same.

3. What we actually set

We aim to keep tracking to a minimum. The cookies and similar technologies currently in use on this site are:

Name / type	Purpose	Provider	Lifetime	Category
`theme` (localStorage)	Remember light/dark theme preference.	OpenKinematics (first-party)	Until cleared	Strictly necessary / functional
`__cf_bm`, `cf_clearance`	Bot management, DDoS protection, security challenge.	Cloudflare, Inc. (third-party)	30 minutes – 30 days	Strictly necessary
Vercel deployment cookies (e.g. `_vercel_jwt` on previews)	Edge routing and preview-deployment access control.	Vercel Inc. (third-party)	Session	Strictly necessary
Sketchfab embedded viewer cookies	Set only when the embedded 3D viewer loads on hardware pages, by Sketchfab.	Epic Games, Inc. (third-party)	Per Sketchfab's policy	Third-party (functional)

We do not currently run advertising, ad-targeting, cross-site profiling, or social-media tracking pixels. If we add analytics or marketing technology in the future, we will update this policy and obtain prior opt-in consent through a cookie banner where required by law (e.g. for non-essential cookies under the ePrivacy Directive and Polish Telecommunications Law / Polish Electronic Communications Law).

4. Categories explained

Strictly necessary: required to deliver the site you asked for. They cannot be switched off without breaking the site, and consent is not required under the ePrivacy Directive.
Functional: remember preferences (e.g. theme, language). Set on the basis of your continued use.
Analytics, marketing, advertising: not currently in use. If introduced, prior consent will be requested.

5. Managing cookies

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site (e.g. Cloudflare bot challenges). Instructions for popular browsers:

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Many browsers also support a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal; we honour GPC where it is technically meaningful for the cookies we set.

6. Do Not Track

There is no consensus standard for handling browser "Do Not Track" signals. Because we do not run cross-site tracking, DNT does not change the cookies we set.

7. Updates

We will update this Cookie Policy when our practices change and revise the "Last updated" date.
