Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 15 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains the technical details of how and why Tanefu Hawuta uses cookies and similar browser-based storage technologies on tanefu-hawuta.info. It is intended to give you a clear and technically accurate picture of what data is stored, by whom, for how long, and under what conditions. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What is a cookie, technically speaking

A cookie is a small key-value data file stored in your web browser by a website's server or by client-side JavaScript. When you visit a website, your browser sends any cookies associated with that domain back to the server with each HTTP request. This mechanism allows websites to maintain state across page loads and sessions, since HTTP is inherently stateless.

Cookie (technical definition): A string of text stored by a browser in a cookie file or in-memory store, governed by attributes including Domain, Path, Expires/Max-Age, Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite. Cookies are transmitted in the HTTP Cookie header on every matching request. Session cookies expire when the browser is closed; persistent cookies remain until their Max-Age is reached or they are manually deleted.

Beyond cookies, modern browsers support related storage mechanisms including localStorage and sessionStorage. These are client-side only and are not transmitted with HTTP requests. We use localStorage on this site to store your cookie consent preference so that the consent prompt does not reappear unnecessarily.

localStorage is a browser Web Storage API that allows websites to store key-value pairs in a user's browser with no expiration date. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with each request. It persists until explicitly cleared by the website's JavaScript or by the user clearing browser data. It is accessible only to scripts from the same origin that set it.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the fundamental operation of the website. They enable basic functions such as page navigation, security mechanisms, and access to secure areas. This website does not function without them. Because they are essential, they are activated automatically and cannot be disabled through our cookie consent mechanism.

Strictly Necessary Cookies are those without which the website cannot perform its core functions. Under US regulatory guidance and general industry standards, these cookies do not require user consent because they serve only the user's explicitly requested service. Examples include session management tokens and CSRF protection tokens.

The consent preference stored in your browser (under the key tnfh_consent) is a strictly necessary piece of data. It tells our site that you have already seen and responded to the cookie consent notice, preventing it from appearing on every page load. This data is stored in localStorage, not in a cookie, and contains only your consent selection.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the website. They help us understand which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and where visitors come from. This data is aggregated and, in standard configurations, anonymized so that it does not identify individual users.

Analytics Cookies are cookies set by analytics platforms to measure and report on website usage. They typically assign a unique identifier to each browser instance and track page views, session duration, and navigation paths. They do not collect personally identifiable information in standard configurations, but they do create a persistent identifier that could theoretically be used for tracking purposes.

Analytics cookies are optional. If you decline analytics cookies through our consent interface, no analytics tracking will be activated. This selection is stored in your browser and respected on subsequent visits. We use analytics data to improve the educational content and user experience on our platform, not for advertising profiling or targeting.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred display settings or language. These cookies improve your experience but are not essential to basic site operation. On this website, functional cookies are minimal. Your consent selection is stored functionally in localStorage as described above.

Cookie inventory

Name Type Storage Purpose Duration
tnfh_consent Strictly Necessary localStorage Stores your cookie consent preference Until browser data cleared
_ga Analytics Cookie Google Analytics visitor identifier 2 years
_ga_* Analytics Cookie Google Analytics session tracking 2 years
_gid Analytics Cookie Google Analytics session identifier 24 hours

The analytics cookies listed above are only activated if you accept analytics cookies through our consent interface. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics data is collected from your session.

Managing and withdrawing consent

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings panel accessible via the consent banner on this site. You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through the browser's privacy or security settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.

To delete cookies already stored in your browser, refer to your browser's help documentation. For Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge, this option is typically found under Settings, then Privacy and Security. Clearing cookies will reset your consent preference, and the consent notice will reappear on your next visit.

Third-party cookies and do-not-track

If you have enabled the Do Not Track (DNT) signal in your browser, some third-party analytics services will honor this signal and not set analytics cookies regardless of your consent selection. We support the general intent of DNT signals. However, because DNT is not a standardized requirement under current US federal law, we cannot guarantee that all services used on this platform respond to it consistently.

Third-party services that may set cookies on this website (subject to your consent choices) operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. For Google Analytics, refer to Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com. We recommend reviewing those policies independently if you have concerns about third-party data practices.

Contact and updates

If you have questions about how we use cookies or want to understand specific technical details not covered here, contact us at [email protected]. This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our use of services. Changes are effective when posted, and the Last Updated date above reflects the most recent revision.
