What cookies are
A cookie is a small piece of data saved by a website in a browser so that a setting can be recognised on a later page or visit. Some cookies are necessary for basic operation; others can support preferences, measurement or advertising. The cookies described for the current public functions of this website are primarily used for language preference and essential operation.
Cookies currently used by this website
kertone_lang
Purpose: remembers the language selected through the English and Chinese switch so that later visits continue in that language. Type: functional cookie. Duration: up to one year. The cookie uses SameSite=Lax, is marked for secure transmission when the connection uses HTTPS, and is not directly readable by browser scripts.
Essential system cookies
When a user signs in to the WordPress administration area, completes a security check or uses a protected function, WordPress may set session, login or security cookies. They support authentication, session continuity and protection against forged requests. Their exact names and duration depend on the function in use. An ordinary public visitor does not need to sign in to the administration area.
Analytics and advertising cookies
The available site configuration does not confirm optional third-party analytics or advertising cookies on public pages. This policy therefore does not list or promise any unverified analytics, advertising or social-platform service. If non-essential cookies are introduced later, the notice should be updated and an information or choice mechanism provided where required.
Managing cookies
You can use browser settings to inspect, delete or block cookies, or clear data for a particular website. If you delete or block kertone_lang, the website will return to its default language or will not remember your selection. Blocking cookies required by the administration area may prevent login or security checks from working. Consult your browser help pages for the relevant controls.
Related information and updates
See the Privacy Policy for information about form submissions. This policy may be updated when website functions or cookie settings change, and the revised page will display a new date.

Local storage: kertone_cookie_notice
Purpose: records that a visitor has dismissed the cookie notice so it is not shown on every page load. Type: browser local storage (localStorage), not a cookie, and it is not automatically sent to the server. Duration: until the visitor clears browser data for this website. The notice will appear again after it is cleared.
