1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how KenyaWinMachine.com ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
As an informational portal dedicated to reviewing and comparing online casino entertainment options in Kenya, we rely on cookies to ensure our site functions securely, loads quickly on mobile devices, and provides you with the most relevant content regarding platforms, payment methods, and digital security.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other mobile devices when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, KenyaWinMachine.com) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., interactive content, external links to featured bookmakers like WRBet, and analytics).
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate securely. We refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website, particularly when reading long-form reviews or comparing platform data.
Specifically, we use cookies to:
- Ensure the site loads efficiently on Kenyan mobile networks.
- Remember your preferences, such as hiding the cookie consent banner once you have accepted it.
- Analyze website traffic to understand which platform reviews are most helpful to our visitors.
- Protect our portal against fraudulent activities, spam, and server overloads.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
A. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas or enabling fast page transitions. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.
B. Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our informational content is. For example, they help us determine if users are finding the information they need about mobile access or local payment methods like M-Pesa. This data is anonymous.
C. Functionality Cookies
These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our Website. This enables us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region, if applicable in future updates).
D. Third-Party and Tracking Cookies
Since we provide external links to verified platforms, certain third-party cookies may be placed on your device if you click through to an external site. Please note that we do not control these third-party cookies. When you visit platforms like WRBet via our portal, their respective cookie policies will apply the moment you land on their pages.
