What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow websites to remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and potentially tailor content to your interests.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, FinVisionary) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (such as analytics or advertising).

Managing Cookies through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.

Cookies and South African Law

In South Africa, the use of cookies is primarily governed by the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). POPIA requires organizations to inform users about the use of cookies, obtain consent for non-essential cookies, and provide users with the ability to manage their cookie preferences.

Our cookie consent mechanism is designed to comply with these requirements, giving you clear information about the cookies we use and the ability to control which cookies are placed on your device.
