Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how KenyanTutors.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies on our website and apps, and how you can control them. For more about how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

1) What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device by your browser. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, device IDs (for apps), and SDKs. These help us run the site, measure performance, prevent fraud, and (where allowed) personalise content.

2) How we use them (categories)

• Strictly necessary (essential): required for core features such as login, security, load balancing, and preferences you set. These run by default and cannot be switched off in our systems.


• Performance & analytics: help us understand usage (pages visited, feature adoption, error diagnostics) so we can improve reliability and speed.


• Functional: remember choices like language, timezone, or saved inputs to provide a better experience.


• Advertising & measurement (where used): deliver or measure ads and limit repeats. In some regions, this may be treated as “sale”/“sharing” of personal information—you can opt out.


• Security & fraud prevention: detect abuse, bots, or suspicious activity; protect accounts and payments.

3) Legal basis

Under EU/UK GDPR and Kenya DPA 2019:

• Essential cookies run on legitimate interests and/or as strictly necessary to provide the service you request.


• Non-essential cookies (analytics, functional, advertising) run with your consent, which you can grant or withdraw at any time.

4) Your choices

• Consent banner: On your first visit we ask for consent for non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or manage categories.


• Change your settings any time: Open cookie preferences.


• Browser controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Doing so may impact functionality.


• Do Not Track: Our response may vary by region and technology. Use the preferences link above for the most reliable control.

5) Third-party cookies/SDKs

We may use trusted providers for analytics, performance monitoring, customer support, payments, fraud prevention, and (where used) advertising measurement. These partners set cookies/SDKs and act as our processors or independent controllers depending on their role. Details are in our Privacy Policy and may be shown in the preferences panel.

6) Retention

• Session cookies expire when you close your browser.


• Persistent cookies last for a defined period (for example, 1–24 months) unless you delete them sooner.


• Consent records (your selections) are stored so we can honour and audit your choices. We refresh consent periodically or when our vendors change.

7) Region-specific notices

EU/UK/EEA

• We request consent for non-essential cookies and provide granular controls.


• You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie preferences link.

Kenya

• We follow Kenya DPA 2019 principles of lawful processing, transparency, and data minimisation. Non-essential cookies are used with consent.

United States (CCPA/CPRA, where applicable)

• If we engage in cross-context behavioural advertising, it may be considered “sharing.” You can opt out here: Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information.


• Global Privacy Control (GPC), where detected, will be treated as an opt-out for applicable activities.

8) Managing specific categories

Implementation notes (for your devs): Bind the links with IDs
