This policy explains how cookies are used on igmabrokerke.com. It applies only to this website and to the pages published here. The site is an independent editorial resource that reviews a broker for readers in Kenya. It is not the broker, it is not affiliated with the broker, and it does not provide financial services, accounts, deposits or advice.
This policy does not describe how any other website, including the broker's own site, handles cookies. If you follow a link away from this site, the privacy and cookie rules of the destination apply, and you should read them there.
This document is separate from any terms of use or privacy notice published on this site. Where those documents deal with personal data more broadly, this policy deals only with cookies and similar storage technologies.
What a Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. It contains a name, a value and usually an expiry date. When you return to the site, your browser sends the stored value back, which lets the site recognise a previous visit or remember a choice you made.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot run code, install software or read other files on your device. Related technologies, such as local storage in the browser, work in a similar way and are covered by the same choices described below.
Cookies can be set by the site you are visiting or by a service the site loads, such as a measurement tool. They can last for a single session or for a fixed period after that.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Some cookies are required for the site to work correctly. They keep a session stable, remember security tokens, load pages consistently and store your cookie choice so that you are not asked again on every visit. These cookies do not track you across other websites and are not used for advertising.
They are set when you load a page and normally expire when you close your browser or after a short period, typically within hours or up to a few days for preference storage. If you block them, parts of the site may stop working: pages may fail to load, your cookie choice may not be saved, and some security checks may not complete.
Because these cookies are needed to deliver the site, they are used without a separate consent step, in line with common practice for essential functions.
Measurement and Analytics
The site uses analytics cookies to understand how readers use it. These cookies record things such as which pages are viewed, how long a visit lasts, whether a reader arrived from a search engine, and general device or browser information. The data is used in aggregate to improve the structure and clarity of the editorial content.
Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary and are only set where the site is set up to request your agreement first. Where you refuse them, the site still works, but the editors see less information about which pages are useful and which need revision. Some analytics cookies last for the duration of a visit; others persist for up to about two years so that returning visits can be counted.
These cookies are not used to build advertising profiles, and the site does not sell data collected through them.
How to Control Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view stored cookies, delete them, block third-party cookies, or block all cookies. The exact steps differ by browser and are described in its help pages. You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which clears storage when you close it.
If you refuse analytics cookies, editorial measurement is reduced but the site remains usable. If you block strictly necessary cookies, expect parts of the site to break, as described above.
Withdrawing a choice you made earlier is done through the same cookie settings control on this site, where one is shown, or by clearing cookies in your browser and reloading the page.
Changes to This List
The cookies used on this site may change as the site develops. When a cookie is added, removed or its lifetime changes, this page is updated and the revised version is published here. The date shown at the top or bottom of the page reflects the latest revision.
Continued use of the site after a revised policy is published means the updated policy applies to you. Readers who want to check what is currently in use should review this page from time to time.
Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact form on this site.
