Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the Website and measure traffic and performance.
Advertising Cookies
These may be used by Google and other advertising partners to deliver, measure, personalise, or limit advertisements.
Functional and Preference Technologies

4. Cookie and Consent Choices
Where applicable, Kaldarshak may provide a cookie-consent or privacy-preference mechanism that allows visitors to control certain categories of non-essential cookies and tracking technologies.
You may also control cookies through your browser settings.
Where applicable, you can withdraw or change consent using the privacy or cookie settings made available on the Website.
Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect account, shopping, checkout, download, or other Website functionality.
For visitors in jurisdictions where consent is legally required for certain cookies or tracking technologies, we aim to configure applicable services to respect those consent choices.
For example, Microsoft documents that Clarity supports consent-management mechanisms and can be configured to wait for a valid consent signal before setting cookies.

Where applicable, Clarity may be configured to respect consent preferences before setting non-essential cookies or collecting applicable telemetry.
7. Google Tag Manager

GTM itself is primarily a tag-management system. Other services configured through GTM may collect analytics, advertising, measurement, or other information.
