1. What this policy covers#
1.1 This Cookie Policy explains how Napayian Development Limited (the “Developer”, “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.asayakilifi.com (the “Website”). It should be read with our Privacy Notice.
1.2 Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels and tags, local storage, session storage, software development kits and device identifiers, and embedded content from third parties (such as maps and videos).
2. Legal basis#
2.1 Where cookies and similar technologies collect or process personal data, the Data Protection Act, 2019 and its regulations apply. We request consent before placing non-essential cookies or activating non-essential tracking technologies, and we provide a way to reject or change those choices.
2.2 If you visit from the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area or another jurisdiction with stricter cookie rules, we apply the same consent standard to you.
3. Types of cookies we use#

| Functional / preferences | Remember settings such as language or region and enhance features like embedded maps or virtual tours | Yes |
| Analytics / performance | Show us how the Website is used (pages viewed, time spent, referral source, errors) so we can improve it. Data is aggregated where possible | Yes |

4. Cookies in use#
The cookies and similar technologies used on the Website, with their providers, purposes, categories and durations, are listed below and in the Cookie settings panel. This list is updated when the Website’s tools change.

5. Your choices#
5.1 When you first visit the Website, a cookie banner lets you accept all, reject all non-essential cookies, or manage your choices by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting. Non-essential cookies are not set before you consent, and there are no pre-ticked boxes.
5.2 You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the Website footer. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.
5.3 Browser controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies (see your browser’s help pages). If you block all cookies, parts of the Website may not work.
5.4 You may also use provider-level privacy controls where they are available. These controls do not replace the Website’s own consent and preference mechanism.
6. Third-party cookies and transfers#
6.1 Where third-party tools are enabled (for example embedded maps), the provider may receive browsing or device information. Such tools are listed in the table above and are loaded only after you consent. Some providers may process data outside Kenya; see section 8 of the Privacy Notice.
7. Retention#
7.1 Cookie retention periods are shown in the table above. We keep consent records only for as long as reasonably necessary to demonstrate and manage consent.
8. Changes#
8.1 We may update this policy when we change cookies or the law changes. The current version, with its “Last updated” date, is on the Website. We will seek renewed consent where required.
