Last updated: 07 June 2025

 

Welcome to kasada.lk (“we”, “our”, or “us”). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. By continuing to use our site, you agree to the use of cookies as described below. For information about how we handle your personal data more broadly, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

 

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help us recognize your device, remember your preferences, and improve your browsing experience.

 

Cookies are classified by their lifespan:

  • Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser.

  • Persistent cookies — remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted.

 

Cookies are also classified by origin:

  • First-party cookies — set directly by kasada.lk.

  • Third-party cookies — set by external services we integrate (e.g., Google Analytics, Meta Pixel).

 

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functions such as user authentication, session management, security, and access to account features. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking site functionality.

 

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are visited most, how long users stay, and where they navigate from. This data is used in aggregate to improve site performance and user experience.

 

Functionality Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and settings, such as your chosen language, login details (where applicable), and display preferences, so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.

 

Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to serve advertisements that are relevant to your interests. They track your browsing activity across websites and are set by our advertising partners such as Google AdSense. You may opt out of interest-based advertising via your browser settings or the tools listed in Section 6.

6. Cookie Consent

When you first visit kasada.lk, a cookie consent banner will appear. You may:

  • Accept all cookies

  • Accept only essential cookies

  • Customise which categories of cookies you allow

 

Your consent preferences are stored in a first-party cookie (“cookie_consent”) for up to 1 year. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies or revisiting the cookie banner through our website settings.

 

Consent records (category accepted, timestamp, and banner version) are logged on our servers to demonstrate compliance. These records do not contain personally identifiable information beyond an anonymous session identifier.

 

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but you can use the opt-out tools listed in Section 5 to limit tracking.

 

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie usage, third-party services, or applicable legal requirements. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
