1. Introduction

Asili Gadgets KE (“Asili Gadgets”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://asiligadgets.co.ke to operate our online store, maintain security, remember visitor preferences, understand website performance, improve customer experience and, where permitted, measure advertising effectiveness.

This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies and related technologies that may be used on our website, why they are used, how consent works and how visitors can manage their choices.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy at https://asiligadgets.co.ke/privacy-policy/ and our other applicable website policies.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored in a visitor’s browser or device when a website is accessed. They can help a website remember a session, maintain a shopping cart, save preferences or recognise a returning browser.

Similar technologies include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, session storage and software development tools that allow a website or third-party service to measure interactions or remember information.

These technologies do not all work in the same way. Some are needed for the website to function. Others are optional and may be used for analytics, advertising, personalisation or performance measurement.

3. The categories of cookies we use

3.1 Essential cookies

Essential cookies support core website functions, security and customer transactions. Depending on how the website is used, they may help to:

  • Maintain website and customer login sessions.

  • Support shopping-cart and checkout functions.

  • Protect forms and transactions.

  • Remember and apply cookie-consent choices.

  • Check whether the browser accepts cookies.

  • Support other security or technical functions necessary to provide a service requested by the visitor.

These technologies are not used as a reason to collect unrelated information. Where a technology is strictly necessary, it may operate without optional analytics or advertising consent, subject to applicable law.

3.2 Preference and functional technologies

Preference technologies may remember choices made by a visitor, such as consent settings or other settings needed to provide a consistent experience.

The website may use browser storage or similar mechanisms to retain such choices. These technologies will be used only for their stated purposes and in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

3.3 Statistics and analytics cookies

Where a visitor has given the required consent, we may use analytics technologies, including Google Analytics and related Google tagging tools, to understand how visitors use our website.

Depending on the service and its configuration, analytics information may include:

  • Pages viewed and interactions with website features.

  • Referring pages or traffic sources.

  • Browser, operating system, device and approximate geographic information.

  • Session and visit information.

  • Product-page activity and interactions with shopping features.

  • General performance and technical error information.

  • Campaign attribution and website-conversion events.

We use this information to assess website performance, understand customer journeys, identify technical problems and improve our products and services.

Analytics data is not intended to identify visitors directly. However, online identifiers and combined information may qualify as personal data under applicable law.

3.4 Marketing and advertising technologies

Where the visitor has provided the required consent, we may use marketing technologies such as Meta/Facebook Pixel and TikTok Pixel, if those integrations are active on the website.

These technologies may help us:

  • Measure advertising campaign performance.

  • Understand whether an advertisement led to a website visit or purchase.

  • Measure product and checkout interactions.

  • Create or measure advertising audiences where permitted.

  • Improve the relevance and effectiveness of our advertising.

  • Measure conversions across advertising channels.

Depending on the configuration, advertising technologies may process browser identifiers, campaign information, page interactions, conversion events and related technical information.

We will not treat a visitor’s rejection of optional marketing technologies as permission to activate them by another route.

3.5 WooCommerce store and order-attribution technologies

Our website uses WooCommerce to provide online shopping. WooCommerce may use cookies or similar technologies to support shopping carts, customer sessions, checkout and order-related functions.

The website may also use WooCommerce order-attribution technology, including Sourcebuster, to record information about how a visit arrived at the store or which marketing source contributed to an order.

Where attribution technologies are optional, they should follow the visitor’s consent choice. Essential cart, checkout and transaction functions may continue to operate as needed to complete a customer-requested transaction.

3.6 WhatsApp contact and customer-enquiry widget

Our website may provide a WhatsApp contact or enquiry widget to help customers ask questions about products and services.

When a visitor chooses to use the widget, the information processed may include information the visitor enters or submits, such as:

  • Telephone number and, if supplied, email address.

  • The visitor’s enquiry or message.

  • Product or page details associated with the enquiry.

  • Town or delivery-location information, where requested.

  • Date and time of the enquiry.

  • Page address and basic browser or device information.

  • Technical information used to operate, protect or troubleshoot the service.

Depending on the widget’s implementation, information may be sent to a service endpoint used to receive and process enquiries. The widget may also attempt to send relevant interaction or conversion events to analytics or advertising services, where those integrations are active and permitted.

We aim to collect only information needed to respond to an enquiry, operate the service, maintain security and measure activity where the visitor has consented. We do not regard a general visit to the website as permission to submit a customer’s contact details to advertising platforms.

Where the widget uses optional analytics or advertising functions, those functions should remain inactive until the required consent is given. Submitting an enquiry does not, by itself, mean that the visitor has agreed to unrelated marketing.

Visitors should avoid entering payment-card details, account passwords or other unnecessary sensitive information into an enquiry message.

3.7 Third-party services and embedded content

Some website features may rely on third-party services. Depending on the features actually installed and used, those services may include analytics providers, advertising platforms, payment providers, embedded media, maps, security services or social-media tools.

A third-party service may receive technical information when its content or script loads. Where consent is required, optional embedded content and associated tracking should be held back until the visitor gives the relevant consent.

The providers and technologies actually used on the website may change as we update our store. We aim to keep this policy and our cookie inventory up to date.

4. Cookies and technologies detected on our website

Our cookie-management system has detected or listed the following examples. Detection does not necessarily mean every item is active on every page or currently being set. Names, purposes and durations can change depending on software versions, configuration and visitor activity.

Cookie or identifierReported purposeReported duration
wordpress_logged_inMaintains a WordPress login sessionPersistent; depends on login settings
wordpress_secSupports secure WordPress login sessionsUp to 15 days, as reported
wordpress_test_cookieChecks browser cookie supportSession

_gac_*Google advertising-campaign information in certain configurationsMay be up to 90 days
_fbc, _fbp, frMeta advertising attribution or measurementVaries by identifier and configuration
ttclidTikTok advertising click or conversion attribution identifierVaries by implementation

The table is an inventory of reported items, not a guarantee that every cookie is currently present. The live cookie inventory should be reviewed after a fresh scan and a browser test.

5. How consent works

Our cookie banner provides options for visitors to accept, reject or manage optional cookies.

  • Accept All: permits the categories of optional technologies described by the consent interface, subject to the actual services enabled and applicable requirements.

  • Reject: declines optional categories covered by the rejection choice. Essential website functions may continue to operate.

  • Preferences: allows visitors to review the available categories and choose which optional categories to permit.

We aim to use an opt-in approach for optional analytics and marketing technologies: those technologies should not run before the required consent has been provided. Google Consent Mode or other technical configurations must be implemented consistently with this policy and the visitor’s choice.

A visitor may change or withdraw their consent later through the floating cookie-preferences control, where available.

Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing unlawful where it was lawful at the time, and it does not affect processing that is independently necessary or lawful. It does stop future optional processing that relies on that consent, subject to technical implementation and any permitted retention requirements.

6. How to manage cookies through your browser

Visitors can also control or delete cookies using their browser settings. Browser controls vary, but commonly allow users to:

  • View and remove stored cookies.

  • Block cookies from selected websites or third parties.

  • Delete cookies when closing the browser.

  • Clear browsing history and site data.

Blocking essential cookies may affect shopping-cart, checkout, login or other website functions. Browser settings do not necessarily remove information already sent to a third-party provider.

7. How long cookies and related information are retained

Cookie lifetimes vary by service and purpose. Some cookies expire when a browser session ends; others may remain for a specified period or until deleted.

The durations shown in our consent interface or cookie inventory are indicative and may vary with provider settings and software updates.

Information submitted through an enquiry form or processed by a third-party service may be retained separately from cookies. Retention should be limited to the period reasonably needed for the stated purpose, legal obligations, dispute resolution, security or other lawful requirements.

8. Sharing and international processing

Depending on the technologies enabled and the visitor’s choices, information may be processed by service providers supporting our website, store, analytics, advertising, communications, security or hosting.

Some providers may process information outside Kenya. Where this occurs, we aim to use appropriate safeguards and comply with applicable data-protection requirements.

Third-party providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. Visitors should review the relevant provider policies for more information about their practices.

9. Personal data and privacy rights

Cookies and similar technologies may process information that qualifies as personal data. Our handling of such information is described in our Privacy Policy.

Subject to applicable law, individuals may have rights to request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction or objection to certain processing, withdrawal of consent, or other applicable remedies.

Requests can be sent to sales@asiligadgets.co.ke. We may need to verify a requester’s identity and may be required to retain certain information for legal or legitimate operational reasons.

We aim to handle personal data in accordance with Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019, applicable regulations and other laws that apply to our activities and visitors.

10. Children’s privacy

Our website is an online retail store and is not intended to solicit personal information from children without appropriate authorisation where required. If we become aware that personal data has been collected improperly, we will assess the circumstances and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law.

11. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy when our website, plugins, services, cookie inventory or legal obligations change. The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated effective date where appropriate.

Visitors should review this page periodically.
