This policy explains how Cyber Intelligent Systems (Pty) Ltd uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which governs the broader handling of your personal information.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences and actions over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them each visit.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags; we treat these the same as cookies for the purposes of this policy.
We use the following categories of cookies:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | First-party | Maintains your login session (NextAuth). Expires at session end. | Session |
| CSRF token | First-party | Protects form submissions against cross-site request forgery. | Session |
| Theme preference | First-party | Remembers your light/dark mode selection. | 1 year |
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Expiry |

* Marketing cookies are only placed if you accept them. We currently run limited advertising campaigns and this list will be updated if additional pixels are added.
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner gives you the choice to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by:
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent as they are essential for the website to function.
You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Common browser guides:
| Chrome | Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies |
| Firefox | Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data |
| Safari | Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data |
| Edge | Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies |
Note: disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent some parts of the website from working correctly (e.g., the contact form or secure login).
Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use. We do not control these cookies and they are subject to those third parties' own privacy policies:
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We currently honour this signal by not loading analytics or marketing cookies when it is detected. However, DNT is not a universal standard and we cannot guarantee all third-party services respond to it.
Where cookies collect personal information (e.g., IP address via analytics), that data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Analytics data is anonymised where possible, and we have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses.
We may update this policy as our cookie usage changes. Material updates will be communicated via the cookie consent banner. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
