This Cookie Policy explains how KAOS uses cookies and similar technologies on kaos.ad. We keep this short on purpose: we do not run advertising networks, we do not track you across other websites, and we do not sell data.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to remember information about your visit, such as whether you are signed in. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage in the browser.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary— required for the site and platform to function (authentication, CSRF protection, load balancing). These are set without consent because the site cannot work without them.
Analytics— only set if you opt in. We use a privacy-respecting, server-side aggregated analytics tool with IP anonymization and no cross-site tracking.
Advertising / tracking— we do not use these.
