This Cookie Policy applies only to kristinajera.com. Websites and applications developed for clients are separate projects and may use different technologies and cookie practices.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website can store on your device when you visit. It's not a program and it can't harm your device — think of it more like a note the site leaves for itself, so it can remember something the next time it's needed.
Some cookies are essential for a site to work at all. Others are there to measure how a site is used or to personalise what you see. They're a normal, everyday part of the web — the important thing is knowing which ones a site actually uses, and why.
In plain terms: a cookie is a small note a website leaves on your device.
Why we use cookies
We keep our use of cookies deliberately minimal. Where cookies are involved on kristinajera.com, it's for straightforward, practical reasons:
- Security — helping protect the site and its visitors from malicious activity.
- Basic functionality — making sure the site loads and behaves the way it should.
- Performance — helping the site load quickly and reliably.
- Experience — keeping your visit smooth from one page to the next.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to follow you around the web.
Types of cookies
Cookies generally fall into four categories. Here's what each does — and, honestly, which ones this site actually uses.
Essential cookies
Used
These cookies are necessary for the website to function securely and reliably. Without them, certain technical features or security protections may not work as intended. They don't track you or gather information about you for marketing.
Do we use them? Yes, where necessary. These may be set automatically by the infrastructure that runs and protects the site (see Third-Party Cookies below). They're strictly technical.
Functional cookies
If needed
These remember choices you've made — a language preference, for example — to make your visit a little smoother.
Do we use them? Only if genuinely needed for something you've chosen. We don't set functional cookies to gather information about you.
Analytics cookies
Not used
These measure how visitors use a site — which pages are viewed, how people move through it — usually in an aggregated, anonymous way.
Do we use them? No. kristinajera.com does not currently use analytics cookies or any third-party analytics platform. If that ever changes, we'll update this page and this section first.
Marketing cookies
Not used
These track browsing across websites to build a profile and show targeted advertising.
Do we use them? No — and we have no plans to. We don't run advertising and we don't sell or share your data for it.
Third-party cookies
To run the site securely and reliably, we rely on a couple of trusted infrastructure providers. In the course of doing their job, these may set essential, technical cookies — for example, to route traffic or protect against malicious activity.
VercelProvides the hosting infrastructure that delivers the website securely and reliably.
CloudflareHelps protect the website against malicious traffic while improving reliability and performance.
These are limited to technical, security and performance purposes. We don't add third-party cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking, and we'll update this page if the providers we rely on change.
Managing cookies
You're always in control of cookies, and you can manage them at any time through your browser.
Most browsers let you:
- Accept or reject cookies, in full or by type.
- Delete cookies that have already been stored.
- Block cookies from specific sites, or all sites.
- Get a warning before a cookie is set.
Most modern browsers include cookie controls within their Privacy or Security settings. The exact location varies between browsers.
What happens if cookies are disabled?
For a site as light on cookies as this one, not much — you can browse kristinajera.com comfortably with cookies disabled.
The only thing worth knowing is that some essential, technical cookies exist to keep the site secure and running smoothly. Blocking absolutely everything can occasionally affect how some sites behave, but for normal browsing here you shouldn't notice a difference.
There's no wall, no nagging, and nothing hidden behind accepting cookies.
Changes to this policy
The web changes, and so do the tools behind a website. If we add or change anything that affects cookies — for instance, introducing analytics in the future — we'll update this page and revise the "Last updated" date at the top. For significant changes, we'll make the update clear.
