This Cookie Policy describes how Hello World Systems uses cookies and similar technologies on helloworld.africa and on the services that link to this policy.
By continuing to use this website you agree to our use of cookies as set out here. You can change your mind at any time in Cookie Settings. For the wider picture of what personal information we hold, read our Privacy Policy.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you come back, the browser sends that file to the site, which is how a website can remember something about you between visits. The same section covers similar technologies, such as local storage in your browser, which works differently but is used for the same kinds of purposes.
Types of cookies we use
We use the following types of cookies:
- Necessary cookies: These are required for the website to work. They do things like remember the choices you made in the cookie banner, keep you signed in while you move between pages, and protect forms against abuse. They cannot be switched off, because the site would stop working properly without them.
- Functional cookies: These remember preferences that make the site more useful to you, such as settings you have chosen. If you switch them off the site still works, but it will not remember those preferences the next time you visit.
- Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are read most and where people leave. We use this to decide what to fix and what to write next. The information is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.
- Marketing cookies: These would be used to measure how our campaigns perform and to show content relevant to you. They are switched off unless you turn them on.
How long cookies last
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie is deleted as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie stays on your device until it expires or until you delete it, which is what lets the site remember your preferences on a later visit.
First and third party cookies
First party cookies are set by this website. Third party cookies are set by another service that a page uses. Where a third party cookie is set, that provider handles the information under its own policy, and we list the categories those cookies fall into in Cookie Settings.
Controlling cookies
You have two ways to control cookies on this site.
- Open Cookie Settings and switch any category on or off, other than the necessary category. Your choice is stored per browser and per device, so you will need to set it again on another device.
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Every major browser lets you do this. Blocking all cookies will stop parts of this website from working.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the way we use cookies changes. The effective date at the top tells you when it last changed.
