Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. Some websites also use your browser's local storage, which works in a similar way. This page lists what we use, why, and how to control it. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information more generally.
On this website
This website, kichwaconnect.co.ke, saves the following. If you don't choose, or you choose "No thanks", it sets no cookies at all. Our server sets none, and there are no advertising, social media or other tracking cookies.
| Name | What it is | What it is for | How long | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Cookie, from Google Analytics | Gives your browser a random ID so we can tell visits apart. | Up to 2 years | Only if you choose "Yes, allow" |
_ga_LFC6PLHM66 | Cookie, from Google Analytics | Keeps track of your current visit. | Up to 2 years | Only if you choose "Yes, allow" |
kc-analytics | Local storage entry, from us | Remembers whether you chose "Yes, allow" or "No thanks", so we don't keep asking. | Until you clear your browser data or change your choice | Once you have made a choice |
Google Analytics
If you allow it, Google Analytics counts visits and shows us which pages are used, using your IP address, your device and browser details and the pages you view. We use this to improve the website, and we have turned off Google's advertising features. Google may process this information in other countries. You can read how Google uses cookies at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
On the repair tracker
The repair tracker opens in a new tab on a separate address, erp.kichwaconnect.co.ke. It does not use the choice you make on this website, and it does not use Google Analytics. The companies that run and protect it set these cookies:
| Name | Set by | What it is for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
session-id | The platform that hosts our repair system | Keeps your visit together so basic usage and page speed can be measured. | 30 minutes |
__dpl | The platform that hosts our repair system | Keeps you on the same version of the page while the site is being updated. | About a week |
__cf_bm | Cloudflare, which protects the site | Tells real visitors from automated bots so the site stays available. | 30 minutes |
Other services
This website loads its fonts from Google Fonts. That doesn't set a cookie on our site, but Google receives your IP address and browser details when a page loads. Links on this website to WhatsApp, Google Maps and our social media pages take you to other sites, which set their own cookies under their own policies.
Your choices
- On this website. Use the choice we show on your first visit, or change it at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page, or with the button below. Choosing "No thanks" stops Google Analytics and removes its cookies.
- In your browser. You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you do, the website still works, and we will just ask again for your analytics choice.
- For Google Analytics everywhere. Google offers a browser add-on that stops its analytics on all websites, at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Changes to this policy
If we change what we use, we will update this page and the date at the top.
