A Cookie Policy Without The Tracking
A cookie policy should be short when the tracking is short. Our marketing website runs on Plausible, a cookieless analytics tool that sets no personal-data cookies and follows you nowhere. This page explains exactly what that means, what a cookie is, and how you stay in control.
What this policy covers
This KaizenFlow cookie policy explains how cookies and similar browser storage are used across our public marketing website at kaizenflow.us. It sits alongside our privacy notice and applies to the pages you are reading right now.
It does not cover the authenticated KaizenFlow platform, where you sign in to review opportunities and the verified savings ledger. That environment uses a small set of strictly necessary session cookies, which we describe near the end of this page. We review this policy when our tools change and note the date of the last update at the bottom.
What cookies actually are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. When you return, the browser sends that file back, which lets a site remember a preference or keep you signed in. Website cookies are ordinary and useful. The concern is not the file format, it is what a site chooses to record and who it shares that with.
Cookies are usually grouped into four purposes. Understanding the categories makes it easy to see how little of this we actually use:
- Strictly necessary: keep a site secure and functional, for example holding a login session or a security token. These cannot be switched off without breaking the service.
- Functional: remember a choice you made, such as a language or a light or dark theme preference.
- Analytics and performance: count visits and page views so a site can understand what content is useful. These can be built with or without cookies.
- Advertising and targeting: build a profile of your behavior across many sites to serve ads and measure campaigns. These are the cookies most people mean when they worry about tracking.
Our approach: cookieless by default
We measure how our marketing pages perform using Plausible Analytics, which is intentionally cookieless. It sets no personal-data cookies, assigns you no persistent identifier, and builds no profile that follows you from one website to the next. There is no cross-site tracking to opt out of because there is none to begin with.
Plausible reports in aggregate. We can see that a page was viewed, roughly where visits came from, and which referrer or search brought people to us. We cannot see who you are as an individual, and no advertising network receives your data from us. This keeps our measurement honest and light, which matches how we talk about the KaizenFlow platform everywhere else: connect, surface, decide, verify, with nothing hidden in the pipes.
Cookies we use and cookies we do not
Because the analytics are cookieless, most of the categories above simply do not apply to us. To be concrete, here is what our marketing site does not set:
- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No third-party tracking or data-broker cookies.
- No social media pixels that report your visit back to a network.
- No analytics cookies, because Plausible does not use them.
The only cookies you may encounter are strictly necessary or functional ones, and only if a page genuinely needs them. For example, a functional cookie may remember a display preference such as light or dark mode, and a strictly necessary cookie may hold a security token when you submit a form. If we ever add a feature that would set anything beyond this, we will update this policy first and, where the law requires consent, ask for it before the cookie is set.
How to control cookies in your browser
You are always in charge of website cookies, regardless of what any single site does. Every major browser lets you view stored cookies, delete them, and block new ones. Look under Settings, then Privacy or Security, in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. You can clear cookies for a single site or for everything, and you can set the browser to reject third-party cookies by default.
Two browser-level signals are also worth knowing about. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control let you broadcast a preference not to be tracked. Since we run no tracking or advertising cookies, these signals have nothing to suppress on our site, but we support the principle behind them.
One honest caveat: strictly necessary cookies keep core functions working. If you block cookies entirely, a form or a secure action may fail. Blocking analytics or advertising cookies, where they exist elsewhere on the web, does not break browsing and is a reasonable default.
The platform is separate from this site
The signed-in KaizenFlow application is a different environment from this marketing website. When you log in, it uses strictly necessary session cookies to keep you authenticated and to protect the session. These are not analytics or advertising cookies, and they are not used to profile you. They exist so the product works and stays secure.
That environment is built to the same calm, honest standard as everything else we ship. Data is encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, tenants are isolated from one another, and our controls are aligned to SOC 2 and ISO 27001, though we do not claim to be certified against them. You can read more on our security page, and if you have a question about any of this, our team is easy to reach through contact.

Frequently asked
Does KaizenFlow use tracking cookies? No. Our marketing site uses Plausible Analytics, which is cookieless. We set no advertising cookies, no third-party tracking cookies, and no personal-data cookies, so there is no cross-site profile of you to build.
Do I need to accept a cookie banner to use the site? No consent banner is required for normal browsing because we do not set advertising or third-party tracking cookies. Any strictly necessary or functional cookie is used only where a page genuinely needs it.
What does Plausible actually collect? Aggregate, anonymized metrics such as page views, referrers, and rough visit counts. It does not store a persistent identifier in your browser and does not follow you to other websites.
How do I block or delete cookies? Use your browser settings under Privacy or Security to view, delete, and block cookies. You can reject third-party cookies by default. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop secure actions like form submissions from working.
