Privacy Notice
This notice covers kingdomanalytical.com only. It is short because the site does very little: it publishes an article, asks you to confirm your age, and measures whether people do.
We set no cookies until you answer the banner. If you accept, two analytics services run. If you decline, neither does. We do not sell or share your information with anyone, and we never ask you for a name, an email address or a payment detail, because there is nothing here to buy.
What is stored on your device
| Name | Type | What for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| ka_consent | Local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or declined the banner, so we stop asking | Until you clear it |
| ka_ok | Local storage | Remembers that you confirmed your age, so you are not asked twice | 30 days |
| _fbp | Cookie | Meta Pixel. Set only if you accept | 3 months |
| _fbc | Cookie | Meta Pixel. Records that you arrived from an advertisement. Set only if you accept | 3 months |
| _ga, _ga_* | Cookie | Google Analytics. Set only if you accept | Up to 2 years |
ka_consent and ka_ok are stored even if you decline, because they are how the site remembers your decision and your age confirmation. Neither identifies you and neither is transmitted anywhere. If they were not stored we would have to ask you both questions on every page load.
Who receives data, and what
Meta Platforms
If you accept, the Meta Pixel records that this page was viewed and whether the age confirmation was completed. It transmits your IP address, browser user agent, the page address, and the two cookies above. If you arrived from an advertisement it also transmits the click identifier from that advertisement, which is what allows Meta to report that the advertisement worked.
We send Meta no name, no email address and no product names.
Google Analytics
If you accept, Google Analytics records aggregate traffic: pages viewed, rough geography, device type, and where visitors arrived from. We use it to know whether anything published here is read.
What we never collect
- No names, email addresses or telephone numbers. There is no form on this site.
- No payment information. Nothing is sold here.
- No date of birth. The age step records only that a confirmation was made.
- No health information of any kind, and we do not infer any.
Changing your mind
Clear this site's data in your browser and the banner returns. In Chrome, Safari and Firefox that is under site settings for this domain. Declining does not limit anything: the article and the age confirmation work identically either way.
You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all sites using Google's browser add-on, and review Meta's own controls in your Facebook or Instagram settings.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask what information is held about you, to ask for it to be deleted, or to object to its processing. Because we hold no account and no identifier that points to you personally, in practice there is usually nothing on file to retrieve. Write to privacy@kingdomanalytical.com and we will answer honestly, including telling you when the answer is that we hold nothing.
Links away from this site
Completing the age confirmation may take you to a third-party site. Once you are there, that site's own privacy notice applies and this one does not. We do not control what it collects.
Who to write to
Kingdom Analytical, Brooklyn, New York, United States. privacy@kingdomanalytical.com
We answer every request to that address. If you ask what we hold about you and the answer is nothing, we will tell you it is nothing rather than leaving you guessing.
