Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie typically comprises the domain that created it, an identifier (usually randomly generated), and an expiration time. Cookies are unable to access other data stored on your device and function as data files rather than executable programs.

AfriRykdom X implements cookies to maintain website stability and operation, to retain your preferences, to identify which content provides value, and - with your permission - to track the effectiveness of advertising efforts. Essential cookies activate upon initial site access as they are required for basic functionality. Additional cookie types only become active following your explicit approval, which you may revoke at your discretion.

Strictly necessary cookies

These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These track the quantity of site visits, identify which content receives attention, measure session duration, and flag technical problems. Results are presented in summary form: showing us whether content is popular or slow-loading, without revealing individual users. We apply these findings to resolve issues and enhance site design.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.

Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.

Your consent preferences are retained temporarily to prevent the cookie notice from appearing repeatedly; once this period expires, new consent will be requested.

Certain cookies originate from third parties providing services on our behalf, such as analytics platforms, content networks, security services or ad effectiveness providers. These vendors may access their cookies across other websites using identical services. We have no authority over third-party cookie operations; their data handling follows their individual privacy and cookie policies.

Non-essential third-party cookies are deployed only after you approve them via the cookie notice. For details on current vendor partners, reach out to support for the latest list.

Through our banner

Utilize the cookie notice or cookie preferences option available on the site to accept or decline the preference, analytics and marketing cookie types. Disabling a category prevents future cookies of that kind from being stored; previously stored cookies may be removed via your browser.

Through your browser

All widespread browsers provide features to view saved cookies, remove specific or all cookies, prevent cookies from designated domains, restrict all cross-site cookies, or purge data automatically upon closing. You typically access these options under "Settings", followed by "Privacy", "Privacy and security", "Site permissions" or "Cookies and site data". Smartphone browsers provide equivalent functionality in settings, while smartphone OSs include separate management for ad IDs.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Disabling essential cookies may cause site features to malfunction: you might lose login access, fail to submit forms or bypass security procedures. Disabling preference cookies prevents storage of preferences like language selection. Restricting analytics or marketing cookies does not impact site performance - you simply will not appear in our visitor counts and campaign metrics.

This policy undergoes regular assessment and revision when cookie implementations, underlying technologies or regulatory requirements shift. The latest version displays on this page; substantial modifications will be announced through the site or cookie notice, and proceeding after a revision signifies your acceptance of the updated terms.

If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Additional policies appear in the site footer, including our Data Protection Statement.
