1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how you navigate, and deliver a more personalised experience. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses; they simply store small pieces of information.

5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You have several options to control cookies:

  • Cookie banner: When you first visit kenandagitan, a consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.
  • Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Refer to your browser's help section (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) for instructions.
  • Opt-out tools: For Google Analytics, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For Meta, adjust ad preferences in your Facebook account settings.

Note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site — such as interactive maps or saved routes — from functioning correctly.

6. Your Consent

By clicking "Accept All" on our cookie banner, you consent to the use of analytics and marketing cookies. Clicking "Reject Non-Essential" or closing the banner without accepting will result in only strictly necessary cookies being set. Your preference is stored for 12 months, after which we will ask again. You may withdraw consent at any time using the Cookie Settings option.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top and, where changes are significant, notify you via the site's cookie banner. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
