Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies Tekimu Technologies actually uses across our website and Learning Management System (LMS), why, and how you can control them. We only list what is genuinely in use - nothing here is a placeholder for cookies we don't actually set.

1. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data a website stores on your device so it can recognize you or remember something across visits or page loads. Our LMS also uses your browser's local storage for the same kind of purpose in one place (keeping you signed in) - we cover that here too, since the same choice and control should apply either way.

2. How We Categorize Cookies

Every cookie we use falls into one of four categories. Only the first is ever active without your consent:

• Strictly Necessary - required for the site or LMS to function at all (staying logged in, basic security). Cannot be turned off, and we don't ask for consent for these because there is nothing to consent to opt out of without breaking the service.
• Functional - not required, but improves your experience (for example, remembering that you already liked an article so you don't need to log in to avoid re-liking it). Off by default until you allow it.
• Analytics - would help us understand how visitors use our pages in aggregate. Off by default until you allow it. We do not currently run any analytics service - this category exists so that if we ever do, it will already require your consent before it can run, not after.
• Marketing - would be used to measure or personalize advertising. Off by default until you allow it. We do not currently run any marketing/advertising trackers - same reasoning as above.

3. Your Choices

When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all optional cookies, reject all of them, or open "Manage Preferences" to choose category by category. Strictly necessary items are never optional, since the site cannot work without them. You can change your mind at any time using the Privacy Settings link in the footer of every page.

4. Third Parties

Our blog content is served through ButterCMS, a content management API - this is a direct server-to-server integration for fetching article content and does not set any cookie in your browser. It is not a tracking or advertising service.

5. Changes to This Policy

If we ever introduce a genuinely new cookie (for analytics, marketing, or anything else), we will update the table above and it will remain off until you specifically allow it - consistent with the choices you've already made continuing to apply.
