Types of Cookies We Use
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. We use the following types of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for example, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works. For example, we use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our site.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. We currently do not use targeting/advertising cookies.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including:
- Authentication: To recognize you when you return to our website.
- Personalization: To remember your preferences and personalize your experience. For example, if you prefer to view the site in Luganda, we can store this preference using a cookie.
- Security: To enhance security by detecting fraudulent activities and ensuring secure transactions.
- Analytics: To analyze how our website is used and improve its performance. We use tools like Google Analytics to collect data on user behavior and website traffic.
- Improving User Experience: By understanding which pages are most visited and how users interact with the site, we can optimize content and navigation.
- Remembering Your Settings: If you have chosen to use a dark mode or have specific font size preferences, cookies help us remember these settings across your sessions.
For instance, we might use a cookie to remember that you have already seen a pop-up message about a new financial literacy program, so we don’t show it to you again on your next visit.
