Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies and browser storage may be used on Mpesa Calculator, what they do, and how you can manage them.
Short version: the site may use basic browser storage and analytics tooling to keep the experience working, remember simple preferences, and understand which pages are useful. It is not designed to store sensitive M-PESA credentials such as your PIN or one-time passwords.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They are commonly used to remember simple preferences, help pages load correctly, understand how a site is being used, or keep certain settings consistent between visits.
In addition to cookies, websites may also use browser-based storage tools such as local storage or session storage. These work in a similar practical way: they help remember simple, non-sensitive information in your browser so the site behaves more consistently.
How We Use Cookies
Mpesa Calculator may use browser storage for a few limited, practical reasons:
- to support essential site behavior and page functionality;
- to remember basic preferences where the site offers them;
- to understand page usage and site performance through analytics tools;
- to make page interactions smoother, such as retaining simple non-sensitive state.
What We Do Not Store
The site is not intended to store your M-PESA PIN, one-time passwords, secret answers, or full transaction credentials in cookies, local storage, or similar browser tools. The guides and calculators do not require that kind of information to function.
If a page or message flow ever appears to request highly sensitive transaction secrets outside the official M-PESA process, you should not provide them. A normal public information site should not need access to private mobile-money credentials.
Types of Storage We May Use
| Type | Purpose | Example Use |
|---|---|---|
| Essential functionality | Helps the site render or behave correctly. | Basic interface behavior, navigation, and page state. |
| Preference storage | Remembers simple user preferences in the browser. | Saving lightweight, non-sensitive interface preferences. |
| Analytics | Helps understand which pages are being used and how they perform. | Traffic and engagement measurement tools. |
| Local or session storage | Stores lightweight browser-side information without using a traditional cookie. | Remembering recently visited internal pages or temporary UI state. |
Important: Mpesa Calculator is not built to ask for or store your M-PESA PIN, one-time password, or other highly sensitive transaction credentials inside browser cookies.
How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies and browser storage through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- view stored cookies and site data;
- delete individual cookies or all site cookies;
- block all cookies or only third-party cookies;
- clear local storage and related browser site data.
If you block or clear cookies entirely, some parts of the site may behave less smoothly, especially if a page depends on small browser-side preferences or state.
Third-Party Tools
Like many websites, Mpesa Calculator may use third-party services for analytics, advertising, or embedded functionality. Those providers may set or read their own cookies according to their own policies.
Where third-party tools are present, their handling of cookies is governed by their own documentation and privacy practices, not just this page. You may also wish to review the site’s Privacy Policy for broader data-handling context.
How to Review Your Browser Settings
If you want stronger control over site data, the most effective place to start is your browser settings. Most browsers let you inspect site storage, delete cookies selectively, block certain categories of cookies, or clear all saved site data.
The exact menu labels vary by browser, but the relevant controls are usually found under Privacy, Security, Site Data, or Cookies. If you use more than one device or browser, remember that clearing one browser does not automatically clear the others.
Policy Updates
This cookie policy may be updated from time to time if the site’s functionality, tools, or legal wording changes. The latest published version on this page is the one that applies going forward.
