Cookie Policy

How hfembrokerke.com uses cookies, what each type does, and what changes if you refuse them.

What a cookie is

Open hfembrokerke.com in a browser and, depending on your settings, a small text file may be stored on your device. That file is a cookie. It carries a short label and some values, and the site or a service it uses can read it back on your next visit.

Cookies are not programs. They cannot run on your device, install software or read unrelated files. They simply let a website remember something between page loads, such as a display preference or the fact that a session is already open.

This site is an independent editorial resource that reviews a broker for readers in Kenya. It is not the broker, is not affiliated with the broker, and does not offer financial services, accounts, deposits or advice. The cookies described here relate only to running and measuring this website.

Strictly necessary cookies

Some cookies are needed for the site to work at all. They keep a session stable while you move between pages, remember choices you have already made in a form, and help protect the site against abusive or automated traffic.

These cookies are set because the site cannot function without them. They are not used to build a profile of you, and they are not shared for advertising. Because they are essential to delivery of the page you asked for, they are normally placed without a separate permission step.

If your browser blocks them entirely, parts of the site may load incorrectly or refuse to accept input.

Measurement and analytics cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how the site is read. They record things like which pages are opened, how visitors arrive, how long a page takes to load, and where readers leave. The results are looked at in aggregate so that content can be corrected or reorganised.

These cookies are set by a third-party measurement service acting on our instructions, not by the broker. They may assign a random identifier to a browser so that repeat visits are not counted twice. We do not use them to identify you by name.

Analytics cookies are optional. They are placed only where the law and your browser settings allow, and you can refuse them without losing access to any article.

Cookies set by third parties

A page on this site may include embedded material, such as a video or a chart, or a link that opens an external destination. The provider of that material can set its own cookies when the embed loads, and those cookies are governed by that provider's policy rather than ours.

We do not control what third parties store, and we do not receive their raw data. Where an embed is optional, it is loaded in a way that limits contact with the provider until you interact with it. Any external site you choose to visit from here sets cookies under its own rules, and you should check its policy before continuing.

No partner, platform or broker is named in this policy because the set of embeds can change; the current behaviour is always visible in your browser's storage panel.

How long each kind lives

Cookies differ in lifespan. Session cookies disappear when you close the browser tab or window. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, set by whoever places them, and are removed automatically when that period ends or when you clear your storage.

In practice, strictly necessary cookies on this site are mostly session-based, while analytics identifiers typically persist for a few months so that returning readers are recognised. Third-party cookies follow the lifetimes chosen by their providers, which we cannot shorten.

You can inspect and delete any stored cookie at any time through your browser settings, and you can set the browser to clear storage when it closes.

Refusing cookies and later changes

If you refuse optional cookies, the articles remain readable. What changes is measurement: we see less about which pages are used and cannot correct weak content as quickly. Refusing strictly necessary cookies, or blocking all storage, can break navigation, form submission, and the security checks that keep the site available.

This policy is updated when the cookies in use change. The revised text is published on this page with a new effective date, and older versions are not kept publicly. We do not send individual notices for routine edits, so check this page if you want the current position.

Questions about this policy can be raised through the contact form on this site.
