Cookies

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text record a website places in your browser so it can recognise you on the next page or the next visit. Local storage is a similar space in the browser that is not sent along with every request. This page covers both.

What we store by default

The site can store these records without optional tracking:

• Your cookie choice, kept in local storage under the name kbr-consent. It stays in your browser and never reaches our servers.
• On the free website request, your chosen language under kai-web-lang.
• A 48-hour conversation reference under kai-web-session-v2, so a refresh or return can reconnect to the same conversation.
• An unsent chat message under kai-draft until you send or erase it, plus references to up to five earlier conversations under kai-session-archive when you choose to start again.
• The first landing page, referrer and campaign codes under kbr-attribution-v1, so the original source can accompany an enquiry.
• A security cookie from Cloudflare, which hosts and protects the site, set only when Cloudflare needs to tell a person from a bot.

These records do not load analytics or advertising tags and do not track your activity across other websites.

What runs only after you say yes

Analytics (Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager) and advertising measurement (Google Ads and Meta) load only after you switch them on in Cookie settings. If you do nothing, they never load.

Google Tag Manager is prepared on the site but loads only when a container is configured and you allow at least one optional category. The exact Google or Meta records that appear depend on the tags configured in that container; the table below lists the identifiers KBR Global may use.

Cookie settings

Change your choice here or through the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of every page. Accept and reject carry the same weight; nothing is pre-ticked.

The full list

Everything a production page can place in your browser, by name. Rows marked Analytics or Advertising exist only after you switch that category on.

Clearing cookies in your browser

Every browser lets you see and delete cookies and local storage for a site, and block them ahead of time, in its privacy settings. If you delete kbr-consent the site goes back to essential only, and the panel will ask again the next time you open it.
