Our Privacy & Cookie Policy

Kadaza takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. Kadaza ("Kadaza" or "we" or "us" or “Website” or "site" or "our" or "app" or "webapp") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We appreciate your use of our websites and mobile sites, apps and related services (collectively known as the "Services," or, each individually, a "Service"). By using Kadaza, you agree to abide and bound by this Privacy Policy, which may be modified or updated from time to time. Since this is a website in progress with continual additions and expansions, and because Internet technologies are constantly evolving, these guidelines are subject to change. Use of Kadaza is also subject to our terms and conditions.

1. Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It helps the website to remember information about your visit, like your preferred language and other settings. That can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Cookies play an important role. By using Kadaza, you agree that we and our partners may set cookies for advertising and to analyse our traffic.

There are different types of cookies in use, which are explained below.

Functionality & Strictly necessary cookies - Kadaza uses these cookies to store information such as your preferred settings when you visit our site. These cookies make the interaction between our users and Kadaza faster and easier. For example, We may place cookies to save your personalized Kadaza start page.

Google Analytics Cookies - Anonymous Traffic data are generated when your computer connects to the internet and to Kadaza. These data may be used for statistical purposes to analyse the traffic (most and least-viewed pages, activity per day and hour, etc.). Traffic data are always processed anonymously. Kadaza uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to collect these anonymous traffic data. Google Analytics uses “cookies” to help us analyze how users use our site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Kadaza will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. We may share Google Analytics data with other Google Products and services.

In addition, our website uses Google AdWords conversion tracking and Google remarketing and Google Signals, which are also services by Google. Google AdWords conversion tracking and Google remarketing also use cookies and similar technologies in order to measure the performance of advertisements placed (so-called AdWords campaigns) and to show you individualised advertising messages on websites that collaborate with Google. Google Signals compiles for us multi-platform data reports on Google users that have enabled personalized advertising in their Google accounts.

If you have enabled personalized advertising in your Google account, Google will be able to prepare data models and reports on website habits, which show for instance on which device you first clicked on an advertisement and on which device any eventual purchase took place. These data models and reports are based on random samples and are pseudonymized to ensure anonymity, which means that we are unable to draw any conclusions as to the identities of the individual Google users. Data may be accessed and/or deleted by end users via My Activity.

Google may transfer information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. If you don’t want Analytics to be used in your browser, you can install the Google Analytics browser add-on. Learn more about Google Analytics and privacy.

You can choose to remove your browser's cache in your browser settings.
