Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 8, 2026
This page discusses how cookies are used by this site. If you continue to use this site, you are consenting to our use of cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your web browser at the request of a site you're viewing. This allows the site you're viewing to remember things about you, such as keeping you logged in.
Cookies may be stored on your computer for a short time (such as only while your browser is open) or for an extended period of time. Cookies not set by this site will not be accessible to us.
Our cookie usage
Unlike a lot of sites, we keep this short - Kaizen sets exactly one cookie, and it's essential:
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
connect.sid |
Keeps you logged in between page loads and protects forms on the site against cross-site request forgery. This cookie only holds a session identifier - your actual session data (who you are, your CSRF token) is stored on our server, not in the cookie itself. It expires automatically after 7 days, or sooner if you log out. |
You may not reject this cookie and continue to use the site - without it, we have no way to keep you logged in, so core features like posting, messaging, and your profile wouldn't work.
We do not set any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies, and we do not use browser local storage to track you either.
Third-party cookies
Cookies set by third parties may be required to power functionality embedded into some pages.
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| YouTube | Set by YouTube when a member embeds a YouTube video in a post. May be used by YouTube for analytics or verifying legitimate traffic. |
| Vimeo | Set by Vimeo when a member embeds a Vimeo video in a post. May be used by Vimeo for displaying the embedded player. |
These cookies are set by YouTube/Vimeo directly, independently of us - we have no ability to read or write them, and they're only set if a page you visit actually contains one of these embeds.
Removing/disabling cookies
Managing your cookies and cookie preferences must be done from within your browser's options/preferences. Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies from their settings menu - check your browser's help documentation for the exact steps ("cookies" is usually searchable directly in browser settings).
