1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies may be session cookies — which expire when you close your browser — or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Cookies set by the website operator are called first-party cookies; cookies set by other parties (such as analytics or advertising providers) are called third-party cookies.
2. How We Use Cookies
Kelmere uses cookies on this website (the "Site") for the following purposes:
- To ensure the Site functions correctly and securely.
- To remember choices you have made (such as cookie consent preferences).
- To understand how visitors use the Site so that we can improve it.
- To measure the effectiveness of any advertising or outreach we may run.
We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for the purposes described in this policy or in our Privacy Policy.
3. Cookie Categories
We categorise the cookies we use into four groups. You may manage your preferences for each category through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings.

Certain features or tools on this Site are provided by third parties and may set their own cookies. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective providers' privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. Third-party services we may use include:

- Google Ads — conversion measurement and remarketing (Google LLC)
- Microsoft Advertising (Bing Pixel) — conversion measurement (Microsoft Corporation)
- Meta Pixel (Facebook) — conversion measurement and retargeting (Meta Platforms, Inc.)

You can revisit and change your choices at any time by clearing the kelmere_cookie_consent entry from your browser's local storage and refreshing the page.

7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that you can enable to indicate that you prefer not to be tracked across websites. At present, there is no universally agreed standard for responding to DNT signals, and we do not currently change our data collection practices in response to DNT signals. We will review this position as standards develop.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, applicable laws, or our operating practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to revisit this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
Continued use of the Site after any update constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised policy, subject to any consent requirements that may apply under applicable law.
