Our Cookies Policy
Preamble
Kioko Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 15, 2018
Kioko uses cookies, web beacons and other technologies when you use any Kioko website, mobile site or mobile app (collectively, “Services”). This Policy explains what cookies and web beacons are, why we use them, and how you can manage their use.
By using any Service we offer, you consent to its use of cookies, web beacons and other such technologies in accordance with this Policy and Kioko 's Privacy Policy. In particular, you accept the use of essential, analytical and/or personalization, functionality cookies as described below.
If you do not wish to accept the use of cookies, please disable them by following the instructions in this Policy or by changing your browser settings so that cookies cannot be placed on your computer or mobile device. Disabling certain cookies (i.e. essential cookies) may make the site entirely or partially inaccessible.
What are cookies ?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are automatically downloaded to your computer or device when you visit a website. The cookies send data back to the original site on each subsequent visit, or share data with another website that recognizes that cookie.
Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device. They perform a lot of different functions, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help make the ads you see online more relevant to you and your interests.
Cookies generally do not identify you as an individual, just the device you are using. For more information about cookies, including how to find out which cookies have been installed on your device and how to manage and delete them, go to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/en/
How we use cookies
We use cookies, web beacons and other technologies for a range of functions: remembering your preferences, providing services (including product and site-related features), analyzing our performance, improving and personalizing your experience and sending marketing messages. .
The types of cookies we use
We use three different types of cookies:
- Essential cookies: these cookies are necessary for the operation of our Services (e.g. to allow you to connect to secure parts of our websites or use a shopping cart). These cookies are necessary for the Services to function properly. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided. We want you to understand the role of these essential cookies, and why we use them, but we are not required to obtain your consent to use them as part of our Services, as we only use these cookies to provide you the services you have requested.
- Functionality cookies: these cookies allow our Services to remember the choices you make, for example: remembering your username, preferences and settings; remember if you have completed a questionnaire or participated in a survey or contest, or otherwise responded to something through the Services, so that you are not asked to do so again; remember if you have used any of our Services before; restrict the frequency with which a particular advertisement is shown to you; memorize your location; and activate social media elements such as Facebook or Twitter. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience so that you do not have to re-adjust your preferences each time you use our Services. We also use functionality cookies to give you access to enhanced services such as watching a video through the Services. As described below, you can disable any of these functionality cookies; but if you do so, then various features of our Services may no longer be available to you or may not work as you expect.
- Analytical and/or personalization cookies: these cookies collect information about how visitors use and interact with our Services, for example which pages they visit most often. These cookies also allow us to personalize content and remember your preferences (e.g. your choice of language, country or region). These cookies help us improve the way our websites work and provide an improved and personalized experience for users.
Kioko does not use any advertising cookies.
Some of the cookies we use frequently are listed in our cookie graph. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended to illustrate the main functions of certain types of cookies installed by Kioko and third parties on our websites. Third parties may also install certain cookies on your device when you use our Services. In some cases, the third party has been requested to provide certain services on behalf of Kioko (e.g. website analysis). In other cases, our websites include third-party content or advertisements (e.g. videos, news content or advertisements provided by other advertising networks). When your browser connects to the Internet servers of these third parties to retrieve content, these third parties may install and use their own cookies on your device.
How long do cookies stay on your device?
Some cookies operate from the moment you visit a Kioko website or until the end of that particular browsing session. These cookies expire and are automatically deleted when you close your Internet browser. These cookies are called “session” cookies.
Some cookies will remain on your device between browsing sessions: they do not expire when you close your browser. These cookies are called “persistent” cookies. The length of time a persistent cookie stays on your device varies between cookies.
Third-party cookies
We can also retrieve content from social networks for our own pages, such as Twitter or FaceBook feeds for example. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest and Google Plus may themselves place cookies on your device. For example, our website also uses the Facebook Like button to share content. If a user clicks the Like button and logs into Facebook via our website, Facebook will place a cookie on the users' computer. This is the same process as when the user logs in directly to Facebook, or clicks Like on any other website.
We also use Google Analytics as part of our Services to help us analyze how our Services are used. Google Analytics uses performance cookies to track visitor interactions. For example, by using cookies, Google can tell us which pages users visit, which are the most popular, what time of day our sites are visited, whether visitors have visited our websites before, which websites have referred the visitor to our website, and other similar information. All this information is made anonymous.
We cannot exercise control over "third party" cookies already present in your browser, so we suggest that you check the respective privacy policies of these external services to help you understand what data about you is held by these organizations and what that they do on their respective sites:
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

Our use of web beacons
Our use of web beacons
We may also use electronic images called web beacons as part of our Services: these are sometimes called "clear GIFs", "single pixel GIFs", or "pixel tracking". Web beacons are used to embed cookies on our Services, count clicks/users/visitors, and provide co-branded services or content. We may include web beacons in our promotional e-mail messages or newsletters to determine whether the messages have been opened and whether any actions have been taken in connection with them.
Kioko Services may also contain web beacons from third parties to help us compile aggregate statistics regarding the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or other website operations. These web beacons may allow third parties to install or read cookies on your device.
How to control which cookies are installed
You can determine which analytical and/or personalization and functionality cookies are installed on your devices. Essential cookies, on the other hand, cannot be deactivated. If you do not allow certain cookies to be installed, you may not be able to access the website, or the performance, features or services of this website may not be available.
The first time you visit our Services, you will see a banner explaining that we use cookies as part of the Services and that continued use of these Services is considered consent to the use of cookies as described in our cookie policy.
Disabling cookies
Opting out of most targeted or behavioral advertising cookies
If you would like to opt out of advertising cookies that remember your browsing habits and attempt to display relevant advertisements when you use our Services, you can visit www.youronlinechoices.com . If you choose to disable cookies, you will still see advertisements across the Internet but they will not be personalized to your interests. This doesn't mean you won't see any ads when you're online. While many companies operating in relation to advertising cookies and serving online behavioral advertising are listed at the above address, this is not the case for all. So even if you choose to disable cookies used by all companies listed, you may still receive advertising cookies and personalized ads from other companies.
You can also manage this type of cookies in the privacy settings of the Internet browser you use. Additional information can be found below.

You can disable and/or delete all types of cookies in your browser settings. Please note that if you use your browser settings to block all cookies, you may not be able to access parts of our or others' websites.

Cookies that have been set in the past
If you have recently disabled one or more types of cookies, we will stop using the disabled cookies to collect additional information. However, we may still use information collected through these cookies before you set cookies to “disabled”.
