Where required by applicable law, including the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and applicable electronic communications and privacy laws, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

Where consent is required, you may accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies through the cookie management tools made available on the Website. You may also withdraw or modify your preferences as described in this Policy.

This Cookie Policy does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that maintain their own privacy and cookie practices.

Where our Website links to an external website or service, that third party remains responsible for its own use of cookies and similar technologies.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow websites to recognize a browser or device, remember information about a visit, maintain user sessions, and improve the functionality and usability of online services.

Cookies may be either:

Session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser; or
Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.

Cookies do not necessarily contain information that directly identifies you. However, where cookie information is associated with your account or other information that can identify you, it may constitute personal information or personal data under applicable data protection laws.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may use technologies that perform similar functions, as described further below.

Improve Website performance;
Understand how visitors use the Website;

Protect user accounts and prevent fraudulent activity;
Remember cookie consent choices;
Support certain AI-powered features;

Not every visitor will receive every type of cookie.

The cookies and similar technologies used on your device may depend on the features you use, your browser settings, your consent choices, and the legal requirements applicable to your location.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Different categories of cookies serve different purposes.

Some cookies are essential for the Website to function. Others help us remember your preferences, understand Website usage, improve performance, or support optional features.

The principal categories of cookies used by AscendurePro are described below.

They may support:

User login and authentication;
Secure account sessions;
Account and dashboard functionality;
Security and fraud prevention;
Subscription functionality;
Shopping and checkout functionality;
Payment-related processes;
Access to restricted areas; and
Other features specifically requested by you.

Without these cookies, certain parts of the Website or Services may not function properly.

Because these cookies are necessary for providing requested Services or maintaining Website security and functionality, they may generally be used without separate consent where permitted by applicable law.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help the Website remember information that improves your experience.

These cookies may remember:

Language preferences;
Display preferences;
Interface settings;
Recently selected options;
Saved preferences;
Certain account settings; and
Other choices you make while using the Website.

Functional cookies may not be essential for basic Website operation. However, disabling them may reduce the convenience or functionality of certain features.

They may collect information about:

Website traffic;

We use this information to improve Website usability, identify technical problems, understand which content is useful, evaluate new features, and make informed decisions about our Services.

Preference cookies allow AscendurePro to remember choices made during previous visits.

For example, they may remember:

Your preferred interface settings;
Cookie preferences;
Language preferences;
Notification preferences;
Display settings; or

They may help us:

Detect suspicious login activity;
Prevent account abuse;
Detect automated attacks;
Validate requests;

Reduce fraudulent activity; and
Maintain the security and integrity of our Website.

Security cookies are generally treated as essential where they are necessary to protect the Website, Services, or users.

Maintain secure user sessions;
Preserve selected preferences;
Maintain continuity between interactions;
Monitor system performance;
Identify technical errors;
Improve reliability; and
Manage access to AI-powered features.

These technologies generally support the technical operation of AI features rather than determining the substantive content of AI-generated responses.

Where AI-powered features depend on trusted third-party technology providers, those providers may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own policies and applicable legal requirements.

5. Advertising and Affiliate Cookies

AscendurePro may participate in affiliate marketing programs, referral programs, sponsored campaigns, or other promotional partnerships relating to careers, education, employment services, software, professional development, financial products, or other products and services relevant to our audience.

Affiliate or advertising cookies may help determine whether a visitor has reached a third-party website through a qualifying referral from AscendurePro.

These technologies may also help us:

Measure referral activity;
Track campaign effectiveness;
Calculate eligible affiliate commissions;
Prevent fraudulent referrals;
Understand promotional performance; and
Limit repetitive advertising.

Where required by applicable law, advertising and affiliate cookies will only be placed after obtaining your consent.

Affiliate cookies do not ordinarily increase the price you pay for a product or service purchased through an affiliate link.

6. Social Media Cookies

Certain pages on AscendurePro may contain social media features or embedded content provided by third-party platforms.

These features may include:

Social sharing buttons;
Embedded videos;
Social media posts;
Comment functionality;
Social authentication; or
Other interactive social media features.

When you interact with these features, the relevant third-party provider may place cookies on your device or collect information about your interaction.

Such cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third party.

We encourage you to review the policies of social media platforms that you choose to use.

7. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to cookies placed directly by AscendurePro, certain third-party providers may place cookies or similar technologies on our Website.

AI technology providers;
Security and fraud prevention providers;
Content delivery networks;
Embedded media providers;
Affiliate networks;
Customer support providers;
Marketing and advertising providers; and
Other service providers that help us operate the Website.

Third-party providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable contractual obligations.

Although we seek to work with reputable service providers, we do not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

In addition to traditional browser cookies, AscendurePro may use technologies that perform similar functions.

These may include:

Web beacons;
Tracking pixels;
Local storage;
Session storage;
Software development technologies;
Device identifiers; and
Similar technologies used for functionality, security, analytics, or performance measurement.

For example, certain technologies may help us determine whether an email or marketing communication has been opened, while local storage may preserve certain interface preferences.

References to “cookies” throughout this Policy should generally be understood to include these similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

9. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

The legal basis for our use of cookies depends on the type of cookie and the laws applicable to your location.

Essential cookies may generally be used because they are necessary to provide Services requested by you or because we have a legitimate interest in maintaining the security, functionality, and reliability of the Website.

Where applicable law requires prior consent for analytics, advertising, affiliate, personalization, or other non-essential cookies, we will request your consent before placing those cookies on your device.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

10. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Where required, AscendurePro may provide a cookie banner or cookie preference management tool when you first visit the Website.

Depending on applicable law and the functionality available, this may allow you to:

Accept non-essential cookies;
Reject non-essential cookies;
Customize cookie categories; or
Change your preferences later.

You may modify your cookie preferences through the cookie management tools made available on the Website.

Disabling certain categories of cookies may affect the availability or functionality of some features, including:

User authentication;
Account functionality;
Personalization;
Saved preferences;
Subscription features;
Certain AI-powered services; or
Other interactive functionality.

Cookie preferences generally apply only to the browser and device on which they are configured.

If you use multiple browsers or devices, you may need to configure your preferences separately on each one.

11. Browser Controls

Most modern web browsers allow users to control cookies through their browser settings.

Depending on the browser, you may be able to:

View stored cookies;
Delete existing cookies;
Block cookies;
Block cookies from particular websites;
Receive notifications before cookies are stored; or
Automatically delete cookies when the browser is closed.

Browser settings may affect multiple websites rather than only AscendurePro.

If you disable all cookies through your browser, certain portions of the Website may not function as intended.

For detailed instructions, please consult the documentation provided by your browser developer.

12. Cookie Retention

Different cookies remain on your device for different periods.

Some cookies are temporary session cookies that generally expire when you close your browser.

Other cookies are persistent cookies that remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.

The retention period depends on:

The purpose of the cookie;
The provider of the cookie;
The settings associated with the cookie;
The nature of the Service; and
Applicable legal requirements.

We periodically review the technologies used on our Website and seek to remove or update cookies that are no longer necessary.

13. Artificial Intelligence Services

AscendurePro provides AI-powered career functionality, including tools that may assist with career planning, resumes, cover letters, interviews, career assessments, job-related activities, and other career development tasks.

Cookies and similar technologies may support these features by helping to:

Maintain secure sessions;
Preserve selected preferences;
Maintain continuity between interactions;
Monitor performance;
Detect technical problems;
Prevent abuse; and
Improve the reliability of AI-powered functionality.

Where an AI feature relies on a third-party technology provider, that provider may process certain technical information necessary to provide the requested functionality.

The use of cookies for AI functionality does not change how prompts, outputs, account information, or other personal information are handled under our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

14. Security and Fraud Prevention

Protecting the security of AscendurePro and its users is an important part of our use of cookies and similar technologies.

Certain technologies may help us:

Detect suspicious activity;
Identify automated attacks;
Validate requests;
Maintain secure sessions;
Protect user accounts;
Reduce fraudulent transactions;
Prevent unauthorized access; and
Protect the integrity of our Services.

Security-related cookies that are necessary to provide these protections are generally considered essential and may not be available for disabling through cookie preference tools.

15. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting that allows users to express a preference regarding online tracking.

There is currently no universally accepted standard governing how websites must respond to DNT signals.

Accordingly, AscendurePro does not currently respond differently to browser-based DNT signals.

You can, however, manage cookies through your browser settings and any cookie preference tools made available on our Website.

If applicable standards or legal requirements regarding DNT signals change, we may update this Cookie Policy.

16. International Data Transfers

AscendurePro is operated by ULTIVISAGE LIMITED in Kenya.

However, we may use technology and service providers that operate in different countries.

As a result, information associated with cookies and similar technologies may be processed or stored outside Kenya.

These providers may include analytics services, cloud infrastructure providers, AI technology providers, payment processors, cybersecurity providers, content delivery networks, and other technology partners.

Where cookie-related personal information is transferred internationally, we seek to implement reasonable safeguards appropriate to the circumstances and applicable data protection requirements.

These safeguards may include contractual obligations, technical security measures, recognized transfer mechanisms, or other appropriate protections.

We may therefore update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in:

The cookies and technologies we use;
