Vidakuzi (cookies) are tiny text files—vidakuzi is Swahili for "cookies"—that sit on your device when you swing by CasinoRank. These tracking technologies help recognise your device, personalise content and ads (including EPL or football promos), remember your settings (like language), and generally boost your browsing experience—especially on mobile when you’re depositing via M-Pesa or Airtel Money. We follow Kenya’s Data Protection Act and BCLB rules to keep your usalama wa data (data privacy) tight.
Different types of vidakuzi
How they are stored
• Session cookies: temporary; vanish once you close your browser. They handle things like your login status or last-checked casino review during that visit.
• Persistent cookies: stick around until they expire or you delete them. They remember your preferences (say, currency set to KSh 1,234.56) for future sessions.
What they are for
• Essential cookies: necessary for core site functions (logging in, navigating).
• Functional cookies: recall choices such as English vs Swahili.
• Performance/analytics cookies: gather info on website traffic and user behavior—so we know which casino rankings you love most.
• Advertisement cookies: track your browsing behavior to serve personalized ads (like special slot offers if you’ve been checking slots).
Who sets vidakuzi
• First-party cookies: from CasinoRank to manage your experience.
• Third-party cookies: from partners (usually ads or analytics) to support features or promotions.
How we use vidakuzi
We use vidakuzi to tailor site content—highlighting casinos that accept M-Pesa and Airtel Money, for instance—and optimise mobile performance (given ~51% mobile penetration in Kenya). We also leverage them to support responsible gaming measures under BCLB guidelines: spotting risky play patterns, nudging you about limits or cool-off options. Need help?
