1. About this Cookie Policy
Ximthoreoth is operated from Nelson, New Zealand, and provides free informational reading about mindfulness, gentle pauses and unhurried daily rhythms. This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar local-storage technologies are used on the website.
The Policy is written to align with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and, for visitors located in the European Economic Area, the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences and provide anonymous information about how the site is used.
3. Cookies we use
Ximthoreoth uses a small, transparent set of cookies. These are grouped into the categories below. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. The other categories can be turned on or off through our cookie banner.
Because our website is informational only, no cookies are used to track health-related details, personal habits, or any sensitive category of information. We never use cookies to build advertising profiles related to medical or wellness conditions.

4. Managing your preferences
You can manage your cookie choices at any time through the cookie banner that appears at the bottom of the screen. Click Cookie Settings to enable or disable each category, then choose Save Preferences.
You can also clear cookies and local storage from your browser at any time. The next time you visit, the cookie banner will appear again. New Zealand visitors may also use the privacy controls available in their browser to block third-party cookies by default.
5. Third-party cookies
The Ximthoreoth website embeds a Google Maps frame on selected pages so that visitors can locate our address in Nelson, New Zealand. When that frame loads, Google may set its own cookies according to its policies. We do not control those cookies, but you can disable third-party cookies through your browser if you prefer.
Google Fonts and an icon library are loaded from public content delivery networks. These services do not place cookies on your device but may receive technical request information such as your browser version and IP address as part of standard internet operation.
6. How long cookies last
Strictly necessary preferences are stored locally for up to twelve months. Analytics cookies, when accepted, may last between one session and up to fourteen months, depending on the specific cookie. Marketing cookies are reserved for future use and are not active by default.
7. Your rights in New Zealand and the EEA
Where cookies process information that identifies you, that information is treated as personal information under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and, where applicable, as personal data under the GDPR. You have the right to access, correct, restrict or delete that information, and to withdraw cookie consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
8. Updates to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add or remove cookies, change service providers, or update local rules. The current version is always shown on this page, with the date refreshed at the top.
