How Esposearch Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies.

1. Scope

This Cookie Policy applies to cookies and similar technologies used through Esposearch.net and website functionality operated or integrated through the Esposearch website.

It should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains broader personal-information practices, and the Content Privacy Policy, which addresses customer-controlled website and Project materials.

The exact technologies in use may change as website features, WordPress plugins, integrations, security systems, analytics tools, support tools and ecommerce functionality change.

2. Who We Are

Esposearch.net is a brand of Esposearch Limited (registered in Kenya). Esposearch operates as a Specialist WordPress Agency delivering professional WordPress work through custom Projects.

3. What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website or connected service may store in a visitor’s browser or device. Cookies can help a website recognize a session, remember selected information or support a feature requested by the user.

Depending on their purpose, cookies may support authentication, security, session continuity, account functions, preferences, ecommerce, analytics, support tools or connected third-party services.

Not every visitor receives every cookie or technology described in this Policy. Their use can depend on the page visited, features used, website configuration and applicable consent choices.

4. Similar Technologies

This Policy may also apply to browser or device technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, such as local storage, session storage, browser identifiers, pixels, tags or scripts where those technologies are actually used through Esposearch.net.

References to “cookies” in this Policy may therefore include similar technologies where the context reasonably requires it.

5. Why Esposearch May Use Cookies

Depending on the relevant feature, Esposearch.net may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• operate essential website functionality;
• maintain secure website or account sessions;
• support login and authentication;
• remember certain user or consent choices;
• support forms, customer service and Live Chat;
• support ecommerce, cart or checkout functionality where applicable;
• understand website traffic and page use;
• measure conversions or technical performance;
• support security, abuse prevention or fraud-prevention controls;
• support selected third-party integrations;
• support referral or affiliate attribution where such functionality is used.

The use of a particular technology depends on its actual website purpose and current configuration.

6. Cookie & Technology Categories

Esposearch groups website technologies by their practical purpose. A particular technology may not be active for every visitor or on every page.

7. Strictly Necessary & Essential Technologies

Some cookies or related technologies may be necessary to operate website functions requested by the visitor or to maintain core website security and session integrity.

Depending on the feature being used, essential technologies may support login sessions, authentication, account functions, security controls, fraud prevention, forms, requested actions, WordPress functionality or ecommerce cart and checkout functions.

Essential technologies are not necessarily used in the same way for every visitor. For example, a visitor who does not sign in may not require the same session technologies as an authenticated user.

8. Functional & Preference Technologies

Where supported by the website, functional technologies may remember certain choices or settings so that the website or a connected feature can operate consistently.

Depending on the current implementation, these technologies may relate to consent selections, interface preferences, session choices or other user-selected options.

Esposearch does not assume that every preference feature described here is active on every page or for every user.

9. Analytics & Measurement

Analytics technologies may help Esposearch understand website traffic, page use, visitor journeys, conversions and technical performance.

Information generated through analytics may be used to understand which parts of the website are useful, identify technical issues, evaluate navigation or conversion pathways and improve website performance.

Where applicable consent is required, non-essential analytics should operate according to the consent choices and controls available through the website.

10. Support & Communication Technologies

Website forms, customer-support tools and Live Chat may use cookies or related identifiers to provide the requested interaction, maintain relevant session context or help the support function operate.

Esposearch uses a Live Chat function on parts of the website. The connected service may apply its own cookies, browser technologies and privacy practices when the chat service is loaded or used.

This Policy does not assign exact cookie names or storage periods to the Live Chat service because those technical details may change with the provider’s implementation.

11. Account & Session Technologies

Authenticated areas of Esposearch.net may rely on session technologies to maintain login state, authenticate users, protect accounts and support functions available to an authenticated profile.

Esposearch.net operates on WordPress and uses website themes, plugins and related platform components. Those technologies may use cookies or browser storage where reasonably required for their active functions.

This Policy does not list generic WordPress or plugin cookie names unless they have been specifically verified against the live Esposearch.net implementation.

Current account routes include Create Account, Client Login and the Dashboard.

12. Ecommerce & Payment Technologies

Esposearch.net may use WooCommerce or related ecommerce functionality for legitimate digital or downloadable products and other supported transactions.

Where ecommerce functions are used, cookies or similar technologies may support cart state, checkout, transaction administration, security, session continuity and fraud prevention.

Professional WordPress services are delivered through custom Projects. The existence of ecommerce functionality does not mean that professional WordPress services are purchased through a public marketplace.

Third-party payment providers may use their own cookies, device information and fraud-prevention technologies when a user interacts with their payment service. Their independent privacy and cookie practices may apply.

13. Third-Party Technologies

Some website functions may depend on third-party services such as hosting, security, analytics, support, payment, forms, embedded content or other connected tools.

A third-party service may set or access its own cookies or similar technologies when it is loaded, activated or used. Those providers may apply their own privacy notices, cookie policies, retention rules and consent practices.

Esposearch does not control the independent policies of third parties merely because their technology is integrated with the website.

Specific providers should be identified in this Policy only when their current use and relevant cookie behavior have been verified.

14. Affiliate & Referral Technologies

Some Esposearch pages may contain affiliate or referral links to third-party WordPress, hosting, SEO or related products and services.

Where such a programme is used, a third-party provider or affiliate network may use tracking parameters, cookies or other attribution technologies to identify that a visitor reached the external service through an Esposearch referral.

These technologies may operate on the third-party website rather than directly on Esposearch.net. The external provider’s own cookie and privacy policies apply to technologies it controls.

This section does not mean that affiliate tracking operates on every Esposearch page or for every visitor.

15. Cookie Consent

Different categories of website technologies can have different consent requirements depending on their purpose, website configuration and the law applicable to the user or processing activity.

Some technologies may be necessary for security, authentication or a website function requested by the visitor and may therefore be treated differently from optional analytics, advertising or similar non-essential technologies.

Where consent is required, non-essential technologies should operate according to the applicable consent choices and controls presented through the website.

Esposearch does not use this Policy to claim that every non-essential script is automatically blocked before consent unless that behavior has been verified in the live consent implementation.

16. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most modern browsers provide controls that allow users to delete existing cookies, block some or all cookies, clear site data or adjust privacy settings.

The exact controls and terminology vary by browser, device and software version. Users should refer to the privacy or cookie settings provided by their browser for current instructions.

Browser controls are separate from any cookie-consent interface that may be displayed directly by Esposearch.net.

17. Cookie Duration

Cookie duration depends on the technology and purpose involved.

Session Technologies

Some cookies or related technologies may operate primarily during a browser or authenticated session and may expire when the session ends or according to the relevant website configuration.

Persistent Technologies

Other cookies may remain for longer so that a website or connected service can remember a setting, recognize a returning browser, support measurement or perform another defined function.

Exact expiration periods should be published only when they have been verified against the current website or provider configuration.

18. What Happens if Cookies Are Disabled?

Blocking or deleting cookies can affect some website features. The effect depends on which technology is blocked and which function the visitor is trying to use.

Possible effects may include difficulty with login, authenticated sessions, preferences, forms, Live Chat, ecommerce cart or checkout functions, security controls or other browser-based features.

Blocking non-essential analytics generally has a different effect from blocking a cookie required for authentication or security.

19. Current Technology Summary

The following table summarizes the broad website technology categories addressed by this Policy. It is not presented as an exhaustive cookie-name inventory because individual cookie names, providers and durations should be verified against the live implementation before publication.

20. International Users

Esposearch.net may be accessed by visitors in different countries. Cookie, consent and privacy requirements can vary by jurisdiction.

This Policy should therefore be read together with the website controls presented to the user and any legal requirements that apply to the relevant processing activity.

Esposearch does not represent through this Policy that one consent rule applies identically to every visitor worldwide.

21. Cookies on Client Websites

This Cookie Policy primarily applies to Esposearch.net.

Cookies used by a customer’s own WordPress website, WooCommerce store, analytics implementation, plugins or other systems are not automatically governed by this Esposearch Cookie Policy merely because Esposearch designed, configured, maintained, audited or supported that website.

A customer website may require its own privacy and cookie disclosures based on the technologies it uses, the information it processes and the legal requirements applicable to that customer.

22. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Esposearch may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, WordPress plugins, analytics, ecommerce systems, consent controls, support tools, providers, security practices or legal requirements change.

The current version should be published on this page with an updated Last Updated date.

Esposearch does not promise individual notification for every minor wording or technical update unless applicable law or another binding requirement requires a particular form of notice.

23. Related Policies & Guidance

The Cookie Policy works together with other Esposearch legal and support information.
