Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 July 2026
This page explains the cookies Kaluma Living uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. We keep the list short and only use what we need. For the wider picture of how we handle your data, see our Privacy Notice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used. Under the ePrivacy rules, cookies that are not strictly necessary — such as analytics cookies — may only be set with your consent.
The cookies we use
Strictly-necessary cookies keep the site working and do not require consent. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics / GA4) are optional and are only set after you accept them in our cookie banner. Until you accept, no analytics cookie is placed on your device.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors (analytics). | 2 years | |
_ga_W5TM6HLQ61 | Google Analytics — keeps session state (analytics). | 2 years | |
_gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors, if set (analytics). | 24 hours | |
lang | Remembers the language you chose (strictly necessary). | 1 year | Kaluma Living (first-party) |
Third-party services
Some parts of the site load content from trusted third parties. On their own, these do not place advertising or tracking cookies on your device when a page loads:
Image delivery (Sanity CDN).Article and editorial images are served from Sanity’s content delivery network. This is a request for image files — it does not set a cookie on this website.
Calendly. If you choose to book a call, a Calendly scheduling widget may open. Calendly only sets its own cookies once you interact with that widget, under its own privacy policy — nothing is set beforehand.
WhatsApp (Meta). If you choose to message us, our site simply opens a link to WhatsApp — it sets no cookie on this website. Anything that happens after that is handled by WhatsApp under its own terms.
Managing your choice
When you first visit, our banner lets you accept, reject, or choose which cookies to allow. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and analytics stays off by default. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of every page. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
