Last updated: 1 January 2026. This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Kalonix Quarterly places on your device, and the options available to you for managing them.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, handheld device, or mobile phone — when you visit. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember certain information about your session or preferences.
Cookies are widely used across the web to make sites work efficiently, to gather information about visitor behaviour, and to enable certain functionality. They do not give access to your device and cannot carry software or viruses.
In addition to cookies, this publication may use similar tracking technologies including local storage and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies collectively.
Exist only for the duration of your visit. Deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used to maintain basic functionality while you navigate the site.
Remain on your device after you close your browser, for a defined period. Used to remember your preferences and to measure returning visitor patterns.
Set directly by kalonix.info. Used for functional purposes such as consent records and session continuity.
Set by external services embedded in the publication, such as analytics and mapping tools. Subject to those services' own policies.
These cookies are essential for the publication to function. They cannot be disabled, as the site would not operate correctly without them. No personal data is collected for marketing or analytics purposes through these cookies.

Analytics cookies allow us to understand how readers navigate the publication — which articles attract the most engagement, how long readers spend with long-form pieces, and which sections see the highest return rates. All data collected through analytics cookies is anonymised and aggregated; no personally identifiable information is retained. These cookies are set only if you accept analytics cookies via the consent banner.

Certain pages of this publication embed content from third-party services, including Google Maps on the contact page. When you interact with these embedded elements, those services may set their own cookies. Kalonix Quarterly does not control these cookies. Please refer to the third-party provider's privacy and cookie documentation for full details. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
You have several options for managing cookies placed by this publication. Your preferences are stored in the strictly necessary cookie kq_consent and remain active for 12 months, after which you will be invited to review them again.
When you first visit kalonix.info, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You may accept all cookies, accept only functional cookies, or accept only the strictly necessary set. Your selection is applied immediately.
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This prevents your visit data from being sent to Google Analytics across all sites that use it.
For questions about our use of cookies or to exercise any right under data protection law, please contact us at [email protected] or write to Kalonix Quarterly, Rue du Bailli 156, 1050 Brussels, Belgium.
This cookie policy may be revised as this publication evolves, as new third-party services are introduced, or as applicable law changes. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Readers are encouraged to review this page periodically. Material changes will be communicated via the consent banner on your next visit.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of kalonix.info.
