Cookie and Storage Access Notice
Last updated: 18 August 2026
This notice explains cookies and other technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device when you use Techne Kaizen and the Website Pilot.
1. Who is responsible
Techne Kaizen is a trading name of Joshua Nimako, sole trader, 34 Summerton Way, London, SE28 8QX, United Kingdom.
Email: info@technekaizen.com
2. Your choices
Non-essential technologies are off by default. The first layer offers equally available controls to Accept all, Reject non-essential or Manage choices.
The second layer separates:
- Essential: always on where genuinely needed for security, requested functionality, checkout state or saving your privacy preference;
- Analytics: Google Analytics measurement, off until you choose it; and
- Advertising: Meta advertising measurement, off until you choose it.
Analytics and Advertising are independent. Refusing either does not prevent suitability, checkout, Stripe payment, success/status, onboarding, approval or balance payment.
3. Technology inventory
| Technology | Provider / storage | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
tk_consent_preferences_v1 | Techne Kaizen; browser local storage | Records notice version, Analytics/Advertising decisions and timestamp so the site respects the latest choice. | Up to 6 months | Essential preference |
tk_website_pilot_campaign_session_id | Techne Kaizen; browser session storage | Maintains a pseudonymous campaign session and prevents duplicate funnel handling. | Browser session | Essential for requested pilot flow |
tk_website_pilot_first_touch | Techne Kaizen; browser session storage | Holds a query-free landing route and permitted campaign context. Advertising click IDs are removed unless Advertising is allowed; Analytics identifiers are removed unless Analytics is allowed. | Browser session | Essential record with optional fields gated by purpose |
tk_website_pilot_fit_answers | Techne Kaizen; browser session storage | Preserves non-identifying suitability answers while the visitor completes the short check. | Browser session | Essential for requested pilot flow |
Checkout/event deduplication keys beginning tk_wp_ | Techne Kaizen; browser session or local storage | Prevents the same payment or measurement event being handled more than once. Optional-provider keys are written only after the relevant permitted event. | Session or until browser storage is cleared | Essential integrity / purpose-bound measurement |
| WordPress login, security and request cookies | Techne Kaizen / WordPress; first-party cookie | Authentication, administration, request security and essential site operation where applicable. | Session or the login duration chosen | Essential |
| WooCommerce cart/session cookies, if a WooCommerce flow is used | Techne Kaizen / WooCommerce; first-party cookie | Maintains the cart and requested checkout session. | Session or WooCommerce-configured cart duration | Essential for that requested checkout |
_ga and _ga_<container-id>, plus the Google tag and Analytics requests | Google Analytics; first-party cookie and third-party requests | Distinguishes users/sessions and measures page and approved campaign events. | Default up to 2 years, refreshed by use | Analytics — consent required here |
_fbp, _fbc, Meta Pixel library, pixel requests and permitted Conversions API events | Meta; first/third-party storage and requests | Advertising attribution, campaign measurement and optimisation. | Meta documents these identifiers as up to 90 days | Advertising — consent required |
| Stripe hosted-checkout storage and security technologies | Stripe, on the Stripe-hosted payment page | Payment, fraud prevention, security and checkout operation requested by the customer. | As described by Stripe for the relevant technology | Essential on provider-hosted checkout |
4. Similar technologies
The rules and choices apply not only to classic cookies but also to scripts, tags, pixels, link decoration, browser web storage and other storage/access techniques. The Website Pilot does not use fingerprinting as an Analytics or Advertising workaround.
5. Withdrawing or changing a choice
Use the persistent Cookie Settings control to change Analytics or Advertising independently. Changing a purpose from on to off:
- updates the stored decision and consent timestamp;
- stops subsequent Website Pilot dispatch for that purpose;
- sends the relevant denied consent update where supported; and
- makes a reasonable attempt to remove the related first-party Google or Meta identifiers from the current site.
A provider may have already received information sent while consent was valid. Withdrawal does not make that earlier processing unlawful. Browser controls can also remove site data, but they are not the only withdrawal method.
6. Versioning and fresh choices
The current consent version is tk-cmp-2026-08-18-v1. It is tied to these purpose descriptions and this inventory. If a materially new technology or purpose is introduced, the saved decision is invalidated and the site asks again.
7. Third parties and transfers
Optional measurement may disclose information to Google or Meta only after the relevant choice. Stripe receives payment and device information on its hosted checkout as needed to provide payment and security. See the Privacy Policy for recipients, lawful bases and international-transfer information.
