Cookie Policy

Website: Safari Trips to Kenya

Website address: https://safaritripstokenya.com/

Effective date: To be confirmed before publication.

At Safari Trips to Kenya, we recognise the importance of protecting the privacy of people who visit our website, research safari holidays, request quotations and communicate with our team.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why websites use them, how different categories of cookies may operate and how visitors can manage their preferences.

Cookies and similar technologies may support essential website functions, improve usability, help understand website performance and enable optional features.

Important publication note: This is a draft policy. The website administrator must verify the actual cookies, tracking scripts, consent settings, service providers and applicable legal requirements before publication. References to optional technologies below do not establish that those technologies are installed or active on the website.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can store on a visitor’s device through a web browser.

They may contain information such as a unique identifier, website preferences or technical data needed to maintain a browsing session.

When visitors return to a website, their browser may send relevant cookie information back to the website or to the service that originally set the cookie.

Cookies can support practical functions such as remembering settings, maintaining security controls and helping website operators understand how pages are used.

Not every cookie identifies an individual directly.

However, some cookie identifiers and associated information may qualify as personal data under applicable privacy laws.

Cookies should therefore be handled with appropriate transparency and safeguards.

2. Why Websites Use Cookies

Websites use cookies for several reasons.

Some are necessary for essential functionality, such as maintaining a session or protecting a form against misuse.

Others help remember visitor preferences.

Analytics cookies may provide information about website usage, such as which pages are visited or whether visitors experience technical problems.

Advertising-related cookies may support campaign measurement or personalised advertising where such services are enabled.

The purposes, providers and retention periods depend on the technologies actually installed.

Safari Trips to Kenya should maintain an accurate record of the cookies and similar technologies used on its website.

3. Categories of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functions required for a website or a service specifically requested by a visitor.

Examples may include session management, security controls, consent-preference storage and essential form functions.

Some websites cannot operate correctly without these technologies.

Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary cookies may not require the same consent mechanism as optional cookies.

However, visitors should still receive clear information about their purposes.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember preferences that improve the browsing experience.

Examples may include language selections, display settings or information entered during a website session.

Whether a particular functional cookie requires consent depends on its purpose and the applicable legal requirements.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics technologies may help website operators understand visitor interactions.

For example, they may measure page visits, navigation patterns, device categories and technical performance.

This information can help identify broken pages, improve website content and evaluate usability.

Some analytics services use cookies or similar identifiers, while others operate using different technical methods.

The website administrator must confirm which analytics services, if any, are installed.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising-related cookies may support campaign measurement, remarketing or personalised advertising.

These technologies may be provided by third parties.

Depending on their configuration, they can collect information about interactions with websites and advertising content.

Optional advertising cookies should not be activated before the necessary consent has been obtained where applicable law requires consent.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are associated with domains or services other than the website the visitor is directly accessing.

They may arise from embedded content, analytics tools, advertising services or other integrations.

The availability and operation of third-party cookies can depend on browser restrictions and the provider’s technology.

Safari Trips to Kenya should disclose relevant third-party providers when they are used.

4. Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies

Cookies can also be classified according to how long they remain on a device.

Session cookies are generally temporary and are designed to expire when a browsing session ends, although browser behaviour can vary.

Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until removed.

Their retention periods depend on their purpose and configuration.

A website should avoid retaining cookie-related information longer than necessary for the stated purpose.

Actual retention periods should be documented in the website’s cookie inventory.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are associated with the website’s own domain.

They may support website functionality, preferences or other services.

Third-party cookies are associated with external providers.

A visitor may encounter both types while using a modern website.

The distinction is technical and does not by itself determine whether a cookie is necessary or optional.

The purpose of the cookie and the applicable legal requirements remain important.

6. Cookies and Safari Enquiry Forms

Visitors may use the website to enquire about Kenya safari packages, request itineraries or contact the reservations team.

Contact forms can involve technical functions designed to process submissions, reduce spam or maintain security.

Some form systems use cookies or other identifiers.

The website administrator must verify the technology used by each form and whether it stores information on the visitor’s device.

Information voluntarily submitted through a contact form, such as a name, email address, travel dates or message, should be handled in accordance with the website’s Privacy Policy.

Cookies and contact-form submissions are related but distinct forms of data processing.

7. Analytics and Website Improvement

Understanding how visitors use the website can help improve navigation and content.

For example, aggregate usage information may reveal whether travellers can easily find information about the Masai Mara, Amboseli, safari prices or booking procedures.

Analytics may also help identify technical problems affecting mobile visitors.

However, the website should not claim to use a particular analytics provider unless that provider is actually installed.

If analytics services are enabled, the Cookie Policy should identify the relevant provider, purpose, retention information and available privacy controls.

Where consent is required, optional analytics should be configured accordingly.

8. Advertising and Conversion Measurement

Safari websites sometimes use advertising platforms to promote tours or measure enquiries generated by marketing campaigns.

Such platforms may use cookies, pixels or other identifiers.

These technologies can support conversion measurement and advertising attribution.

They may also involve sharing information with external service providers.

Safari Trips to Kenya must verify whether advertising technologies are installed before describing them as active.

If they are used, the website should explain their purposes and provide appropriate consent choices where required.

9. Embedded Content and External Services

Some website pages may contain content provided by external services.

Examples could include videos, maps, social media features or booking-related integrations.

These services may process information about visitors when embedded content is loaded.

Depending on the provider, cookies or similar technologies may be used.

The website administrator should assess each integration and ensure that optional third-party technologies are handled appropriately.

Visitors may also be directed to external websites through links.

External websites operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.

10. How Visitors Can Manage Cookie Preferences

Visitors should be able to understand and manage optional cookies where required by applicable law.

If the website uses a cookie consent management tool, the interface should clearly explain the available choices.

It may provide options to accept optional categories, reject non-essential cookies or customise preferences.

A visitor’s decision should be respected by the website’s technical configuration.

Implementation requirement: Add a functioning “Cookie Settings” control to this page if the website uses a consent management platform. The control must open the actual preference interface and allow visitors to change or withdraw consent where applicable.

Do not publish a non-functional button or claim that visitors can change preferences through a feature that does not exist.

11. Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings

Most modern browsers provide controls for managing cookies and other website data.

Visitors can generally review, block or delete cookies through their browser’s privacy or security settings.

The exact procedure depends on the browser and device.

Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

For example, some preferences may no longer be remembered, or essential services may not work as intended.

Browser settings are useful controls, but they do not replace any consent mechanisms legally required on the website.

12. Deleting Cookies

Visitors may delete stored cookies through their browser settings.

Deleting cookies can remove saved preferences or cause a website to treat the next visit as a new session.

Some browsers also allow users to clear data for a particular website rather than deleting all browsing data.

Where a website stores consent preferences using cookies, deleting those cookies may result in the consent notice appearing again.

The exact behaviour depends on the consent platform’s configuration.

13. Cookies on Mobile Devices

Visitors may access Safari Trips to Kenya using smartphones or tablets.

Mobile browsers can store cookies and other website data in ways similar to desktop browsers.

Privacy controls vary by operating system and browser.

Visitors can review the relevant device and browser settings to manage stored information.

Some mobile devices also provide additional controls for advertising identifiers or application tracking.

Those controls may not affect every type of website cookie.

14. Similar Tracking Technologies

Cookies are not the only technologies that websites can use to store information or recognise interactions.

Other technologies may include local storage, session storage, pixels and certain technical identifiers.

These technologies have different characteristics and may be subject to privacy requirements depending on how they are used.

The website’s compliance review should consider relevant tracking technologies, not only files technically classified as cookies.

15. Personal Information and Cookies

Some cookies contain only technical or preference information.

Others may be associated with identifiable visitors or information that can be linked to individuals.

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, it should be processed in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.

This may involve providing information about the purposes of processing, relevant service providers, retention and individual rights.

For broader information about personal data, visitors should consult the website’s Privacy Policy once it has been verified and published.

16. Protecting Cookie-Related Information

Website operators should implement appropriate technical and organisational safeguards.

These may include secure transmission, suitable cookie attributes, access controls and regular review of third-party scripts.

The appropriate safeguards depend on the nature of the technology and information processed.

No website should promise absolute security.

The objective is to manage foreseeable risks responsibly and maintain appropriate protections.

17. Children’s Privacy

The website may be visited by families planning holidays with children.

Cookie and tracking practices should take account of applicable requirements concerning children’s personal data.

Where the website is not designed to collect information directly from children, it should avoid unnecessary tracking or profiling of minors.

Parents and guardians may use browser privacy settings and other available controls.

The website administrator should verify any additional obligations applicable to its services and audience.

18. International Service Providers

Some website technologies may be provided by companies operating in different countries.

Depending on the service, information may be processed or stored outside the visitor’s country.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, applicable data-protection requirements should be considered.

The website’s Privacy Policy and relevant disclosures should accurately describe any international processing arrangements that apply.

This section should not be interpreted as confirmation that any particular international provider currently receives visitor data.

19. Cookie Retention

Cookies should have retention periods appropriate to their purposes.

Essential session technologies may be short-lived.

Preference cookies may remain longer so that visitors do not need to repeat selections unnecessarily.

Analytics or advertising technologies may have different retention settings.

The website administrator should publish a verified cookie inventory showing the relevant cookies and their actual durations.

20. Cookie Inventory

Before publication, Safari Trips to Kenya should complete a technical audit and populate a cookie inventory.

The inventory should identify:

• Cookie or storage identifier
• Provider or domain
• Purpose
• Category
• First-party or third-party status
• Retention period
• Whether consent is required
• Relevant privacy-policy information

Publication requirement: Insert the verified inventory here. Do not publish invented cookie names, provider details or expiry periods.

21. How Consent Should Work

Where consent is legally required, it should be obtained before optional technologies are activated.

Consent should be informed and based on a genuine choice.

Visitors should be able to understand what they are accepting.

Where applicable, withdrawing consent should be as straightforward as giving it.

The consent interface should not use misleading language or designs that improperly pressure visitors.

The website’s actual implementation should be tested to ensure it reflects the choices presented.

22. What Happens If You Reject Optional Cookies?

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent visitors from accessing ordinary website information unless a specific feature genuinely depends on the relevant technology.

Certain non-essential functions may be unavailable.

Essential security and session technologies may still operate where permitted.

The website should explain any meaningful functional limitations accurately.

A visitor should not be told that rejecting optional marketing cookies prevents them from requesting a safari quotation unless that claim is technically justified.

23. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Safari Trips to Kenya may update this Cookie Policy when website technologies, service providers or applicable requirements change.

Material changes should be reflected in the published policy.

Where necessary, the website should also update its consent interface and cookie inventory.

The effective date should indicate when the current version became applicable.

Visitors may review this page periodically for updates.

24. Contacting Safari Trips to Kenya About Cookies

Visitors with questions about cookies, privacy choices or website data practices may contact Safari Trips to Kenya through the website’s published contact channels.

For privacy-related enquiries, the website should provide an appropriate contact method.

Publication requirement: Verify and insert the correct privacy contact email or contact-form route before making this policy public.

25. Related Policies

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside the website’s Privacy Policy and any other applicable terms.

The Privacy Policy should explain how personal information is collected, used, protected and handled in connection with safari enquiries and bookings.

The Cookie Policy focuses on technologies used through the website.

Both documents should be consistent with the actual website configuration.

26. Responsibilities of the Website Administrator

The website administrator should review installed plugins, themes, scripts and third-party services.

A cookie scan should be performed using suitable technical tools and, where appropriate, manual verification.

The audit should consider technologies that load before and after consent, as well as those triggered by particular pages or interactions.

Any changes to analytics, advertising or embedded services should prompt a review of the cookie inventory.

Consent records and configuration should be maintained according to applicable requirements.
