Cookies
The cookies InvestRwanda.com uses: two that keep the site and its forms working, one more if you choose to stay signed in, and no analytics or advertising cookies.
In short
- We set only the cookies the site needs to work. We do not use analytics, advertising or social media cookies, and no one else sets cookies when you read the site.
- Because there is nothing to choose between, the site does not show a cookie banner.
- Videos from YouTube or Vimeo load only when you press play. Payment pages of Stripe and PayPal open only when you choose to pay.
The cookies we set
All of them are first-party cookies of investrwanda.com. They are sent only over a secure connection and are not shared with other sites.
| Cookie | Purpose | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| investrwandacom-session | Keeps your visit together from one page to the next: the message you are writing in a form, the confirmation that it was sent, and your sign-in if you have an account. | 2 hours after the last page you open |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects the forms against cross-site request forgery, so another website cannot send a form in your name. | 2 hours after the last page you open |
| remember_web_… | Set only if you tick “Keep me signed in” when you sign in to your account. It keeps you signed in on this browser. | Until you sign out, at most 400 days |
The session cookie holds only a random identifier. What it refers to is kept on our server and deleted when the session ends.
Other browser storage
If you use the help bubble (Ask InvestRwanda), your conversation is kept in your browser’s session storage for the current tab, so it stays open when you move to another page. It is deleted when you close the tab or press Start again. Nothing else is stored in your browser.
Other services
- Videos: on the Videos pages, sponsor pages and Featured company profiles, a video loads from YouTube (in its privacy-enhanced mode) or from Vimeo (with its do-not-track setting) only after you press play. From then on, that service’s own cookie and privacy policies apply.
- Payments: when you pay for a membership or an advertisement by card or PayPal, you continue on the Stripe or PayPal website, which sets its own cookies. We never see your card details.
- Links to other websites: those websites set their own cookies once you open them.
Removing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. The pages will still open, but the forms and the member area need the two session cookies to work. Signing out removes the “Keep me signed in” cookie.
Changes
If we add a cookie or a service that sets one, it will be listed here first. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data. Privacy Policy · Questions? Write to us
