Cookie Policy
Effective Date: September 4, 2026 • Last Reviewed: September 4, 2026
This Cookie Policy details how Center Board uses cookies and browser storage, distinguishing between our current active setup and future advertising technologies.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
A cookie is a small text file containing a string of characters that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. When you return to that website, the cookie enables the site to recognize your browser, maintain session continuity, and recall specific configuration preferences.
Similar technologies include Local Storage (HTML5) and Session Storage, which allow web applications to store small amounts of data directly within your browser client without sending that information to the web server on every HTTP request.
2. Our Current Cookie & Storage Practices
Center Board values privacy-first architecture. On our website today:
- Zero Tracking Cookies Today: We do not deploy behavioral profiling cookies or cross-site tracking pixels on our visitors.
- In-Browser Computation: Our interactive tools—including the AI CV Builder, Cover Letter Maker, and Kenya/International Tax Calculators—execute computations in your local browser memory. User data is not harvested into permanent tracking cookies.
- Essential Technical Operation: Standard web server software may utilize transient session identifiers solely to route network traffic securely and safeguard form submissions.
3. Categories of Cookies We Recognize
| Category | Purpose | Current Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for website navigation, page rendering, server load distribution, and security. | Active (standard HTTP/HTTPS operational headers). |
| Functional & Preference | Remembers user selections such as calculator inputs or theme preferences across sessions. | Active locally (in-memory DOM or optional browser localStorage). |
| Analytics & Performance | Measures page visits, navigation flows, and bounce rates to optimize content and user experience. | Future implementation (will require prior cookie banner consent if deployed). |
| Targeted Advertising | Serves contextual or interest-based advertisements through authorized networks like Google AdSense. | Future integration (detailed in Section 5 below). |
4. Third-Party Services & Embedded Assets
Our Platform loads specific external assets to maintain high visual presentation and functional utility:
- Google Fonts: Typography files are retrieved directly from Google servers. Google may collect request metrics according to its privacy policy to serve font files securely.
- Google Maps Iframe: On our Contact page, an embedded interactive map shows our physical location at Marsabit Plaza, Ngong Road, Nairobi. Interacting with the map may allow Google to set geolocation or preferences cookies.
5. Future Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
To maintain free access to our comprehensive career tools, payroll calculators, and job market research guides, Center Board plans to introduce third-party advertising in the future, including Google AdSense.
When advertising is implemented:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, will use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to Center Board or other websites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized advertisements to you based on your browsing patterns.
- You will be able to opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google's Google Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the www.aboutads.info consumer choice page or the Your Online Choices portal.
6. How You Can Control & Disable Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through your web browser controls:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection > Cookies.
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies.
- Mobile Browsers (iOS Safari / Android Chrome): Accessible within device system settings under Safari or Chrome App settings.
Please note: Disabling essential browser storage may impair certain interactive capabilities, such as real-time calculation previews in our salary tools.
