Cookie Policy
How Intellinks East Africa Limited uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on intellinksea.com, and the choices available to you.
1. What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Intellinks East Africa Limited (“Intellinks,” “we,” “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on intellinksea.com (the “Site”), and the choices available to you. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, and tracking scripts embedded by third-party services.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Can be disabled? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the Site to function — e.g., security tokens, load balancing, and form submission. | No — the Site may not function correctly without these. |
| Performance / analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the Site (pages visited, time on page, navigation paths) so we can improve it. | Yes, via cookie settings / browser controls. |
| Functional | Remember choices you make (e.g., form field state, cookie consent preference) to improve your experience. | Yes. |
| Third-party / embedded content | Set by embedded third-party content such as the Google Map on the Contact page. | Depends on the third party — see Section 5. |
We do not currently use cookies for third-party advertising or cross-site behavioral ad targeting. If this changes, this Policy will be updated and, where required, we will request your consent before such cookies are set.
4. Cookie Inventory
The cookies and similar technologies actually set on intellinksea.com are:
| Cookie / technology | Set by | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | intellinksea.com | Functional | Stores your cookie preference (which categories you accepted or rejected) so the banner does not repeatedly appear and so we can respect your choices | 12 months |
| Google Maps embed | Google (via the Contact page map) | Third-party / embedded content | Displays the office location map. The map only loads after you accept non-essential cookies; Google sets its own cookies under its privacy policy | Varies — see Google’s policy |
This inventory is reviewed periodically and will be updated if the cookies we set change. We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or social-media tracking cookies on this Site.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose content or functionality is embedded in the Site. Where you consent to non-essential cookies, third parties (such as Google, via the embedded Maps location finder) may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies; they are governed by the third party’s own policies, which we encourage you to review: Google Privacy Policy.
6. Your Choices
You can control or delete cookies through:
- Our cookie consent banner, allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies on your first visit and to change your preference at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the site footer (which reopens the preferences panel).
- Your browser settings — most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. Instructions vary by browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and are typically found under Settings → Privacy.
- Opt-out tools provided by specific third parties (e.g., Google’s opt-out tools), where available.
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Site, including your ability to submit forms.
7. Legal Basis
Where cookies involve the processing of personal data (such as an IP address or a unique identifier), we process that data on the basis of your consent (for non-essential cookies) or our legitimate interest in maintaining the security and functionality of the Site (for strictly necessary cookies), consistent with the Data Protection Act, 2019 (Kenya). Where our visitors are located outside Kenya, we have regard to internationally recognized standards for cookie consent, including the principles reflected in the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or regulatory reasons. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
