Privacy Policy

Short version: we count visits without cookies, anonymise IP addresses, keep no advertising profiles and sell nothing.

By the CryptoKenya editorial team · checked against official sources

Quick answer

We use self-hosted Matomo analytics without cookies or localStorage. IP addresses are anonymised, raw logs are deleted after 365 days, and data is never sold or shared with third parties. You can opt out at the bottom of this page.

This policy explains what information CryptoKenya.co.ke (“we”) collects when you visit the site and how it is used. Contact: support@cryptokenya.co.ke.

Website statistics (Matomo)

We use Matomo, an open-source analytics tool that runs on a server controlled by the site owner (self-hosted). It is not Google Analytics and the data does not go to an advertising company.

  • No cookies and no localStorage. Matomo is configured with cookies disabled, so nothing is stored on your device for analytics.
  • Anonymised IP addresses. The last two bytes of your IP address are removed before storage, so we cannot identify you from it.
  • What is collected: the pages you view, clicks on external links, your device and browser type, and your approximate country.
  • Retention: raw visit logs are deleted after 365 days; after that only aggregated reports remain.
  • Purpose: aggregated reports about how many people read which guides, so we can improve them.
  • Legal basis: our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the website.
  • Sharing: statistics are not passed to third parties and are never sold.

Because no cookies are used for analytics, we do not show a cookie banner.

Live prices

Converters on the site load current prices directly from your browser from CoinGecko’s public API (api.coingecko.com). Like any website you contact, CoinGecko receives your IP address and browser information for that request; we do not send it any other data about you. If the request fails, the page shows a price that was saved when the site was built.

Fonts and images are served from our own server. When you click a link to another website — an exchange, a regulator or a news site — that website’s own privacy policy applies.

Emails you send us

If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply and, for corrections or scam reports, to improve our guides. We keep emails only as long as needed for that purpose.

Your rights

Under Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019 you may ask what personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Since our analytics are anonymised, we normally hold no personal data beyond emails you send us. Write to support@cryptokenya.co.ke.
