Privacy Settings ​

Kagi's privacy model is simple: you pay, we provide the service. Our business model eliminates any need to monetise your data, so we're ad-free, tracker-free, and collect only what's necessary for your account to function, with complete transparency about what we collect and why. Full details are in our Privacy Policy and LLMs & Privacy page.

Privacy Pass ​

Privacy Pass is an optional feature that lets you search using cryptographic tokens instead of your account credentials. While logged in, you generate a set of untraceable tokens and later redeem one per search, letting Kagi verify you're authorized to search without knowing which user you are.

You can start using it through a browser extension, the Kagi app for Android, or the Orion browser. See Kagi Privacy Pass for setup instructions for each platform.

Location ​

If you have enabled precise location, it's stored solely on your device and serves to provide more accurate localized search results. You can clear it at any time from this page, or from the Geolocation settings on Kagi Maps.

  • Update Location: Refresh your saved location using your device's location services.
  • Set location manually: Enter a location instead of using your device's location services.
  • Clear Location: Remove your saved location.

Use Location for Searches ​

Allow Kagi to use your location to improve the relevance of search results.

Hide kagi.com Referrer ​

When clicking on search results to other websites, Kagi lets them know you found them through Kagi. This is a small way to help spread awareness about Kagi, but you may choose to disable it. No data is transmitted other than that your visit came from kagi.com.
