Quick Control: You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our Cookie Management section or directly in your browser settings. This policy explains what cookies are, how Kenya Teachers TV uses them, your choices regarding cookies, and further information about cookies. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy unless you have disabled them in your browser settings.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-connected device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies help the website remember information about your visit, which can make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser. We use both session and persistent cookies for the purposes set out in this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
On tv.kenyanteachers.com, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies for several important purposes that enhance user experience and help us operate our platform effectively. These technologies include cookies, web beacons, pixels, and local storage. We use them to enable basic website functionality, analyze how visitors interact with our content, deliver relevant advertising, remember user preferences, and integrate with third-party services like YouTube and social media platforms. Each type of cookie serves specific functions that collectively improve the quality of our service, provide valuable analytics for content improvement, and support the financial sustainability of our platform through advertising revenue.
Essential Cookies
Purpose: Necessary for basic website functionality and security features. These cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. They are required for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Examples include cookies that maintain your session as you navigate through pages, balance website traffic across servers to ensure optimal performance, and remember your cookie consent preferences to comply with data protection regulations.
Analytics Cookies
Purpose: Understand how visitors use our site to improve content and user experience. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance. We use Google Analytics for this purpose, which helps us understand user behavior, identify popular content, track referral sources, and make data-driven decisions about content creation and website improvements.
Advertising Cookies
Purpose: Deliver relevant advertisements and measure advertising effectiveness. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners including Google AdSense. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. These cookies help support our free content by enabling advertising revenue. They allow for frequency capping (limiting how many times you see an ad), campaign measurement, and interest-based advertising that attempts to show ads relevant to your browsing interests.
Functional Cookies
Purpose: Enhance user experience by remembering preferences and settings. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly. These cookies remember choices you make such as language preferences, region settings, and customized layouts. They enable features like embedded YouTube videos to remember your playback preferences, social media sharing to work properly, and comment systems to function effectively. They help create a more personalized browsing experience tailored to your preferences and usage patterns.
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
3.1 Browser Controls
You can control and manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies for individual websites or all websites. The method for controlling cookies varies by browser, but generally you can find these settings in the “Options,” “Tools,” or “Preferences” menu. Here are direct links to cookie management for popular browsers: Google Chrome – Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data; Mozilla Firefox – Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data; Safari – Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data; Microsoft Edge – Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data. You can also use private browsing modes (Incognito in Chrome, Private Browsing in Firefox, etc.) which typically do not save cookies after you close the window.
3.2 Third-Party Opt-Outs
For specific services we use, you can opt out directly through the service providers: Google Analytics – Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on which prevents Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information; Personalized Advertising – Visit Google Ads Settings to control the ads you see on Google services and partner websites; Digital Advertising Alliance – Use the YourAdChoices tool to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies; Network Advertising Initiative – Use their opt-out tool for member companies; For YouTube cookies – Manage through your YouTube/Google account settings.
