Cookie Policy

How FOWEK uses cookies and technical device identifiers to deliver, protect, and optimize our digital platforms. Last updated: 23 September 2026.

Transparency Notice: Under the Kenyan Data Protection Act, 2019, technical identifiers and tracking cookies represent personal data. FOWEK operates an informed-consent model ensuring you maintain control over non-essential tracking.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (such as your computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit our digital platform. They allow the site to remember essential information—such as whether you have already dismissed an announcement banner or authenticated your session—and assist us in analyzing how the site is accessed and navigated.

2. The cookies we use

FOWEK categorizes cookies deployed across our site into three functional groups:

Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary): These cookies make the website function properly. They handle secure sessions, load balancing, firewall verification, and form submissions. The website cannot operate without these files, which is why they are set automatically and cannot be switched off in our preference center.
Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors navigate the platform—such as which pages are visited most, how visitors find us, and where user friction occurs. We use this anonymous data to improve user journeys, fix broken layouts, and publish more relevant enterprise content. This information does not identify you personally.
Marketing & Campaign Cookies: When FOWEK conducts outreach campaigns for major events (such as the annual President’s Breakfast, regional trade missions, or national membership drives), these cookies help us evaluate campaign effectiveness and measure conversion rates. We only deploy these cookies if you provide prior express consent.

3. Your choices

When you first access our website, you are presented with a consent banner allowing you to choose which cookies you accept. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or customize your individual preferences.

You can also manage, block, or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). Please note: If you configure your browser to block all cookies—including strictly necessary session tokens—core areas of this website (such as membership forms and event checkout interfaces) will cease to function properly.

4. Third-party cookies

Certain pages on our platform incorporate embedded tools and external services, such as video recordings of past Business Unfiltered webinars hosted on YouTube, Google Maps locations for physical events, or interactive social media feeds.

These third-party platforms deploy their own cookies and tracking scripts according to their respective privacy and cookie policies. FOWEK does not govern third-party data tracking; we encourage visitors to review the relevant third-party policies directly.
