Radio Osotua Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://www.radioosotua.co.ke.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form. We also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can find the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public within your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Cookies

  • When you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These remain for one year for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter details for future comments.
  • A temporary cookie is set when you visit our login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Upon logging in, we set up several cookies to store your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, while screen options cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie stores the post ID of the article you edited. This expires after one day and contains no personal data.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). These behave as if you have visited the originating website.

External websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged in.

YouTube

Our website uses YouTube plugins operated by Google. The operator is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When you visit a page featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection is established with YouTube servers. YouTube receives information about which of our pages you have visited.

If you’re logged into your YouTube account, your browsing behavior is linked to your personal profile. Logging out of your YouTube account prevents this.

YouTube enhances our website’s appeal, which constitutes a justified interest under Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
