Last updated: May 30, 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owner.

2. How Kindred Stars Uses Cookies

Kindred Stars uses a minimal set of cookies, all strictly necessary for the service to function. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies.

3. What We Don't Use

Kindred Stars does not use:

  • Advertising or retargeting cookies
  • Third-party analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics)
  • Social media tracking pixels
  • Cross-site tracking technologies

Our infrastructure providers may set their own technical cookies for load balancing and security purposes. These are strictly functional and do not track your browsing across other sites.

4. Managing Cookies

Because the cookies we set are strictly necessary for you to be logged in and use the service, disabling them through your browser will prevent Kindred Stars from working correctly.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Here are instructions for common browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Logging out of Kindred Stars will clear your session cookie. Deleting your account removes all data we hold about you in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

5. Changes to This Policy

If we introduce new cookies (for example, if we add analytics tools in future), we will update this page and, where required by law, ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
