1. Introduction
This policy explains how Mahapa Financial Advisory Services CC ("Mahapa Financial", "we") uses cookies and similar technologies on mahapafinancial.co.za. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember information about your visit — for example, your preferences, or that you've already dismissed a banner.
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.
3. Why we use cookies
- To make our website work as it should
- To remember preferences (e.g. dismissed notices)
- To understand which pages and content visitors find useful, so we can improve the site
4. Types of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the site to function — e.g. routing, security, form submission. These cannot be disabled. | Session |
| Preferences | Remember choices you have made, such as cookie consent or dismissed banners. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Help us understand visitor behaviour in aggregate — pages viewed, time on site — so we can improve content. | Up to 24 months |
We do not use marketing or behavioural-advertising cookies on this website.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, including:
- Google services — for embedded maps and any analytics if enabled
- Hosting and CDN providers — for performance and security
Third-party providers handle the data they collect under their own privacy policies, which we link to where applicable.
6. Controlling cookies
You can accept, refuse or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. Most browsers also offer a "private" or "incognito" mode that limits cookies for a session. Helpful guides:
Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the site works for you.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to indicate that you prefer not to be tracked. Because there is no industry standard for how DNT signals should be honoured, our site does not currently respond to them. We will revisit this if a clear standard emerges.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our practices, or the law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page tells you when.
