This policy explains which cookies Coast Jobs uses on coastjobs.co.ke, what each one does, how long it lasts, and how you can refuse or delete them. Please read it with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your phone or computer when you visit. They help a site remember things, such as how your visit is going. In this policy, "cookies" also means similar tools, such as browser storage.
2. Cookies we use
| Name or source | What it does | Type | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | Keeps our pages working as you move around the site. Also keeps our staff logged in to the admin area. | Essential (ours) | Until you close your browser |
| _ga | Google Analytics: tells visitors apart so we can count visits. | Analytics (Google) | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_T6DFV80FC9 | Google Analytics: keeps track of a single visit. | Analytics (Google) | Up to 2 years |
If we add another cookie or tool, we will list it here first.
3. Essential cookies
These are needed for the site to work. They do not follow you to other websites and they are not used for advertising. If you block them, parts of the site may stop working.
4. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people read and where they come from. This helps us improve the site and show employers that people see their jobs. The information is combined and we do not use it to identify you. Google may handle it on servers outside Kenya.
You can opt out by blocking cookies in your browser, or by installing Google's Analytics opt-out add-on for your browser.
5. Other services our pages load
To look right, our pages load fonts and icons from other companies: Google Fonts, Font Awesome (from cdnjs, run by Cloudflare) and Boxicons (from unpkg). When your browser loads them, those companies can see your IP address and may keep a record of the request. We do not control this, but you can read their privacy policies on their websites.
The share buttons on job pages (Facebook, X, LinkedIn and WhatsApp) are simple links. Nothing from those companies is loaded until you click one.
At the time of writing, we do not use advertising cookies or social media tracking pixels.
6. How to manage cookies
You are in control. In your browser you can:
- block all cookies, or only third-party cookies;
- delete cookies after you finish browsing;
- use private or incognito mode, which clears cookies when you close the window.
7. Help for common browsers

- Safari (iPhone): Settings, then Safari, then Advanced, then Website Data.
- Safari (Mac): Safari, then Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.

8. If you refuse cookies
You can still browse jobs, search and apply. Some parts may look slightly different, and we will not be able to count your visit.
9. Changes to this policy
If we add a new cookie or tool, we will update this page before it starts, and change the date and version at the top.
