Overview
This policy explains how Kaizensclan uses cookies and similar browser storage. Analytics cookies and full audience measurement are disabled unless you actively consent through the privacy controls shown on your first visit.
Operator: Kaizensclan
Storage we use
- kaizensclan_consent_v1 — a necessary first-party cookie that records whether optional analytics is allowed. It is retained for up to 180 days and uses SameSite=Lax; Secure is added over HTTPS.
- wp_consent_* — optional standardized consent-category cookies used when WP Consent API is active. They mirror the same choice and preference period.
- WordPress session and security cookies — necessary for authorised editors and administrators. Their duration follows the selected WordPress login session.
- Local reading preferences — saved stories, reading history and text size use localStorage. They remain in the current browser until cleared and are not advertising cookies.
Analytics
Kaizensclan uses Basic Consent Mode. Google Analytics is not loaded, no request is made to Google measurement services and no analytics data is sent until you explicitly allow Analytics.
If you allow Analytics, the theme loads Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate readership and site usage. GA4 may use first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id> according to the configured Google retention period. Marketing consent, advertising storage, ad personalisation and advertising user-data consent remain denied.
Your choices
You can accept analytics, reject optional storage or choose settings individually. Reopen Cookie settings from the footer or the control below at any time. A new choice replaces the previous one.
Blocking or deleting necessary storage may cause the consent banner to appear again. Refusing analytics does not restrict access to articles, match information or editorial tools intended for readers.
Third-party services
Google Site Kit keeps the WordPress dashboard connected to Google services but does not place the public Analytics tag. After Analytics consent, the Kaizensclan theme loads the configured GA4 Measurement ID. WP Consent API, when active, mirrors the selected consent categories for compatible plugins. PandaScore supplies match data and provider-hosted team logos. Opening streams, source links or embedded third-party services may take you to providers with their own cookie practices. Kaizensclan does not use the consent choice to authorise cookies on a separate website.
Policy updates
We will update this page before adding a new optional cookie category, analytics provider or advertising technology. A material change may reset the saved consent version so readers can choose again.
