Cookie Notice

This notice is effective as of 12 October 2026. We change it when our cookies change.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website puts on your device. Your browser sends it back to the website on your next visits. This website also keeps some values in the local storage of your browser. This notice calls all of them cookies.

The company that is responsible for this website and for the data described here (the controller) is KKBC Corporation, 3285 Gibson Rd NW, Salem, OR 97304, United States. In this notice, “we” means KKBC Corporation.

This Cookie Notice is part of our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy says what we do with your data and which rights you have.

Cookies we use and why

This website uses two kinds of cookies: strictly necessary cookies and statistics cookies. We do not use advertising cookies.

Strictly necessary

These cookies remember your cookie choice and the language of the page. One more value is set only when you switch from Accept to Reject. Its name is kkbc_withdraw. It holds your visitor number and your Google Analytics browser number until deletion is confirmed, for up to 14 days. The strictly necessary cookies are not part of the choice between Accept and Reject.

When you click Accept or Reject, our website also stores a record of your choice: a random number, the choice, the banner version, the time and the language of the page. This record holds no name. We keep it indefinitely, as proof of your choice.

Statistics

We use statistics cookies only after you click Accept. Before you click Accept, and after Reject, we send nothing to Google Analytics and nothing to our visitor record system. There is one exception: if you change from Accept to Reject, your browser sends a request that asks for the deletion, as described under "How to change your choice".

After you click Accept, two systems receive data: Google Analytics, and our own visitor record system.

Our visitor record is more than a count of visits. It is one record for each browser on each KKBC country site. It holds your network address (IP) and the city and organisation that the address belongs to. We keep it with no time limit: until a person at KKBC deletes it, until you change to Reject, or until you ask us to delete it.

The visitor record keeps:

the pages you open and when;
the site you came from and the campaign tags in the link;
the languages and the time zone of your browser;
the type and model of your device, the operating system and its version, the browser and its version, and the size of the screen and the window;
the browser number and the session number of Google Analytics;
if you arrived from an advertisement, the click number of the advertising network (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok or X);
your network address (IP), stored exactly as we receive it;
the buttons and links you click (for a link to another website, the domain of that website) and your clicks on contact links;
the files you open (the file name) and the videos you start and end;
how far you scroll on a page and for how many seconds you use it;
the words you type into the site search. We drop them when they hold "@" or four digits in a row;
how you use a form: that you started it, the name of the last field you touched when you leave without sending, and the names of fields with an error;
when you send a form: which form it was, the kind of enquiry, the stage and the service you chose.

The record never keeps the text that you type into a form field. The record has no name and no e-mail address.

From your network address (IP) we add the country, the region, the city, and the organisation or internet provider that the address belongs to. We do this to see which companies and regions read our site. We take this from MaxMind GeoLite2 data that we keep on our own server, and from the public reverse name (DNS) of the address. To get this name, our server sends the address in a question to the public name servers of the internet. MaxMind receives nothing.

This product includes GeoLite Data created by MaxMind, available from https://www.maxmind.com

Google Analytics receives the page views and the same events with a random browser number. It does not receive the words of the site search. Google sees the network address (IP) of the request. We switched off the settings that share this data with Google's own products and with benchmarking. We use no advertising features. Read How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

If you clicked Accept and you move to another KKBC country site by a link, the link carries your Google Analytics browser number, so that Google counts one visitor. Each country site asks for your choice again and keeps its own visitor record.

Link to your enquiry

We link the visitor record of your browser to an enquiry only if you clicked Accept and you also tick the optional box at the enquiry form. The box is never ticked for you.

If you tick it, the enquiry gets four things:

a link number to your visitor record;
the dates of your first and last visit;
the number of your visits;
your first source (a campaign or the site you came from).

With the link number, a salesperson at KKBC can open your visitor record and see which pages you read and when. This includes pages that you read before the enquiry.

If you do not tick the box, we make no link. The visitor record still holds the event "a form was sent" with its time. We do not use it to match a visitor record to an enquiry.

Delivery of pictures and scripts

A content delivery network, BunnyCDN (bunny.net, a company in Slovenia), delivers the pictures, scripts and style sheets of this website. For this delivery it receives your network address (IP). This happens with and without a cookie choice.

The table below lists each cookie.

Cookies on this website

Cookie	Category	Set by	What it holds	How long it stays
`kkbc_consent`	Strictly necessary	KKBC	Your cookie choice: the version of the cookie banner, statistics yes or no, and the time of the choice. A field for advertising cookies is always "no": this website has none.	6 months
`kkbc_consent_id (local storage)`	Strictly necessary	KKBC	A random number that marks your choice in our consent record. The consent record holds no name.	Until you clear the site data of your browser
`kkbc_withdraw (local storage)`	Strictly necessary	KKBC	Set only when you change your choice from Accept to Reject: your visitor number and your Google Analytics browser number, kept until our website has confirmed that your visitor record is deleted.	Until the deletion is confirmed, 14 days at most
`kkbc_dl`	Strictly necessary	KKBC	A flag with the value 1. It remembers that you sent the form for an e-book or a webinar and entered the code from the email, so that the page can show you the file again. It is necessary for this function that you asked for. It holds no name and no email address.	30 days
`wp-wpml_current_language`	Strictly necessary	KKBC	The language of the page.	1 day
`kkbc_cdp`	Statistics	KKBC	A random visitor number for our own visitor record. If you send us an enquiry and tick the optional box at the form, we use it to link your visitor record to the enquiry.	6 months after your last visit
`kkbc_cdp_s`	Statistics	KKBC	A random visit number, so that one visit is counted once.	30 minutes after your last page view
`_ga, _ga_DSC75H3Q39`	Statistics	Google Analytics	A random browser number for Google Analytics and the state of the visit.	2 years

How long cookies stay

The table on this page shows how long each cookie stays on your device. The cookie that holds your choice stays for 6 months. We renew it for 6 months each time you choose.

The time of a cookie is not the time of the data. We set no time limit for the visitor record: it stays after its cookie has ended. Google deletes its records of single events after 14 months.

How to change your choice

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time. Use the button "Update your cookie preferences" at the top of this page, or "Cookie settings" at the bottom of each page. The banner opens again, and you click Accept or Reject. Each KKBC country site keeps its own choice.

What happens when you change from Accept to Reject

We delete the statistics cookies in your browser. We collect nothing new. Your browser keeps your visitor number and your Google Analytics browser number in one value (kkbc_withdraw) until the deletion is confirmed, for up to 14 days.
Your browser tells our website. A job then deletes the visitor record of this browser on this country site from our visitor record system, usually within 10 minutes.
The same job asks Google to delete the Google Analytics events of this browser. Google does this in its own time. This can take up to about two months.

What a change to Reject does not remove. If you ticked the box at an enquiry form, that enquiry keeps four things: the link number (it then points to nothing), the dates of your first and last visit, the number of your visits, and your first source. We remove them only when you ask us. The enquiry itself also stays.

When the automatic deletion does not work. It works only while your browser still holds its visitor cookie. This cookie ends after 6 months without a visit, or when you clear your cookies. It also covers only this browser on this country site. In all other cases, write to kkbc-ga-legal-data-privacy-officer@kkbc.co.

What we need to find your visitor record. A visitor record has no name. We can find it in three ways:

by your visitor number, which is the value of the cookie kkbc_cdp. Your browser shows it in its settings for this site, in the list of cookies, as the value of kkbc_cdp;
through an enquiry that was linked to it;
by your network address (IP) together with the date and time of a visit. This way is less sure, because several people can share one address.

If you ask for deletion by e-mail, give us one of these. If you can give us none of these, we cannot find your record and we cannot delete it for you. So switch to Reject before clearing your cookies.

Your browser

You can also delete cookies in the settings of your browser. This does not delete the visitor record on our servers. To have it deleted, switch to Reject before you delete the cookies. After you delete them, your browser no longer holds your visitor number.
