What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have already acknowledged a notice — so that the experience feels consistent during and between sessions.
Cookies do not contain personal information by themselves, and most are entirely harmless. They simply help a website work as intended and, optionally, help the people who run it understand how visitors use the site so they can improve it over time.
Cookies We Use
We group the cookies on this website into four categories. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot function properly without them. The remaining three categories are optional — you can manage them in the preferences section further down this page.
Essential Cookies
Always active — cannot be disabled
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the site. They handle things like remembering your cookie consent decision and maintaining session security. Without them, pages would not load or function correctly.
Examples: Cookie consent record, session identifiers, security tokens.
Analytics Cookies
Optional
These help us understand how visitors move through the site — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and where they come from. This information is collected in aggregate and used only to improve the site's content and layout.
Examples: Page view counts, session duration, referral source.
Marketing Cookies
Optional
Marketing cookies allow third-party advertising services to understand which of our pages you have visited. This can be used to show you relevant content elsewhere on the web. If you prefer not to be tracked for advertising purposes, you can disable these.
Examples: Ad interaction records, retargeting identifiers.
Preference Cookies
Optional
These cookies remember choices you have made — such as your preferred language or display region — so you do not need to set them again on your next visit. They make the site feel a little more familiar each time you return.
Examples: Language preference, region setting, UI display choices.
Your Cookie Preferences
Use the toggles above to adjust which optional cookies are active, then save your choices below. You may change your preferences at any time by returning to this page.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are placed by third-party services rather than by Naga Kala directly. These services have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to read.
- Google Analytics — helps us understand site traffic patterns in aggregate, using anonymised data.
- Google Maps — used to display our workshop location. Google may set cookies when the map is loaded.
- Advertising networks — if marketing cookies are enabled, ad personalisation partners may set their own cookies.
How Long Cookies Last
Session Cookies
These exist only while your browser is open. Once you close the tab or browser window, they are deleted automatically. They handle temporary tasks like keeping you on the right page.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device after the browser closes, for a set period. Our cookie consent record typically lasts 12 months. Analytics and preference cookies range from 30 days to 2 years depending on the service.
