Our approach is straightforward: essential technology should be explained, optional tracking should require a meaningful choice, and users should know how to change that choice.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on or accessed from a computer, phone or other device when a website is used. Similar technologies include local storage, tracking pixels, software development kits and device identifiers.
These technologies can support essential website functions, remember preferences, measure performance or help organisations understand how services are used.
What this website currently uses
This corporate website uses essential browser storage to remember whether you have accepted the cookie notice. This prevents the notice from being shown unnecessarily on every page or visit.
Based on the current website configuration, we do not intentionally use non-essential advertising or behavioural-targeting cookies on this corporate website. If analytics, embedded media, marketing tools or other non-essential technologies are introduced, this policy and the consent controls should be updated before those technologies are activated.
Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Current status |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Support essential functions, security and storage of your cookie-notice preference. | Active where required |
| Preferences | Remember optional choices such as language, region or display preferences. | Not currently used intentionally |
| Analytics | Measure visits, page use, performance and errors. | Not currently used intentionally |
| Marketing | Measure campaigns, personalise advertising or track users across services. | Not currently used intentionally |
| Third-party media | Enable embedded videos, maps, social posts or other external content. | May apply if embedded content is added |
Some third-party websites reached through external links may set their own cookies. Their practices are governed by their own cookie and privacy notices.
Consent and preferences
Strictly necessary technologies may be used without optional consent where they are genuinely required to provide a service requested by the user or maintain essential security and functionality.
Where non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, we will provide clear information and request an appropriate choice before they are activated, unless an applicable legal exception applies.
You should be able to accept or reject optional categories with the same level of ease and change your choice later. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place lawfully before withdrawal.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow users to view, block or delete cookies and site data. The exact controls vary by browser and device. Blocking all storage may prevent some website functions from working correctly.
You may also clear the saved cookie-notice preference through your browser’s site-data or local-storage settings. The notice may appear again after stored data is removed, a different browser or device is used, or the website’s preference system changes.
Third-party technologies
Our pages may link to The Geek Circle, Builders Summit, Seed, X, LinkedIn or other external services. Opening an external service may allow that provider to collect information or place cookies according to its own settings and policies.
If we later embed third-party media or tools directly within this website, we will assess whether prior consent is required and update the cookie table or consent interface accordingly.
Changes and contact
We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, consent tools, service providers or applicable rules change. The date at the top of the page shows the latest revision.
Questions about cookies or website tracking may be sent to hq@africageekcirclenetwork.com or africa@africageekcirclenetwork.com.
