Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, improve efficiency, and provide information to the website owner. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others help us understand how visitors interact with our content so we can improve your experience.

AutomagiKal uses cookies and similar storage technologies for the following purposes:

• Functional: To remember your cookie consent preference so you are not prompted on every page.
• Analytics: To understand how visitors find and use our website using Google Analytics 4 and Vercel Analytics (both configured to anonymise IP addresses).
• Performance: To measure Core Web Vitals and ensure fast, reliable page loads via Vercel Speed Insights.

We do not use cookies for advertising targeting, retargeting, or any form of cross-site behavioural tracking beyond what Google Analytics collects by default.

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the respective providers' privacy policies for more information:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Vercel Privacy Policy

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline cookies. When you first visit our site, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and local storage, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. Instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but we encourage you to use the cookie management options described above to control tracking preferences.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
