Cookie Policy

Last updated: 21 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies McSbuSing (Pty) Ltd ("Informativ", "we", "us") uses on the Informativ platform, and why. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Cookies We Use

We use a small number of cookies, split into two categories:

  • Strictly necessary — required for the platform to function and cannot be switched off:
    • laravel_session — keeps you signed in and remembers your session as you move between pages.
    • XSRF-TOKEN — a security (CSRF) token that protects forms and requests on the platform from being forged by another site.
    • Google reCAPTCHA (_GRECAPTCHA and related) — set by Google on our login, registration, password-reset, and demo-request forms to tell human visitors from bots. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
  • Analytics — help us understand how the platform is used so we can improve it:
    • Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*, _gid) — set by Google when you visit the platform, used to measure page views and traffic patterns. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy.

We do not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies, and we do not sell data collected through cookies.

2. Managing Cookies

Because the necessary cookies are required to keep you signed in and to secure the platform, you cannot use most of the platform's features with them disabled. You can control or delete Google Analytics cookies through your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics entirely using Google's browser add-on. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use the platform.

3. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy if the cookies we use change. Material changes will be announced on the platform and the "Last updated" date above will change.
