Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them.
Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, beacons, and SDKs — we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy for simplicity.
How we use cookies
We use cookies on afrisovera.com for the following purposes:
| Category | Purpose | Consent required? |

| Strictly necessary | Make the site work — e.g. log you in, remember your session, secure the site against attacks, load-balance traffic | No (legally exempt under PECR Reg. 6(4)) |
| Functional | Remember your preferences (e.g. language, region, dark mode) | Yes |
| Analytics | Understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it — aggregated, no individual identification | Yes |

How we get your consent
When you first visit afrisovera.com, you will see a cookie banner. The banner lets you:
- Accept all — allow all categories
- Reject non-essential — only strictly necessary cookies will be set
- Manage preferences — choose category by category
Until you make a choice, we will only set strictly necessary cookies.
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of every page.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies. For instructions:
- Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
- Firefox: support.mozilla.org
- Safari: support.apple.com
- Edge: support.microsoft.com
Blocking all cookies may break some features of the site (e.g. login, transactions).
"Do Not Track" signals
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry standard for handling this, so we currently honour your cookie banner choice rather than the DNT signal.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly when we add or remove tracking technologies. Material changes will be flagged on the site.
