At Ruvako Business Consultants (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies and similar technologies are used when you visit our website, ruvakoconsulting.co.za (the “Website”).
This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or other devices when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences.
2. Why We Use Cookies
Our WordPress-based Website utilizes cookies for several reasons:
-
To ensure our Website functions properly (e.g., loading the OceanWP theme and structural elements securely).
-
To understand how visitors interact with our content, helping us improve our enterprise development and consulting services.
-
To remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
-
To ensure the security of our platform and forms, such as our “Book a Strategy Call” feature.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our Website into the following types:
-
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the Website to function. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to load pages quickly, use basic features, and ensure security protocols. Because these are strictly necessary, you cannot opt out of them without impacting the site’s functionality.
-
Analytical & Performance Cookies: We use these to track website traffic and user behavior (e.g., which consulting services pages are visited most often). This data is aggregated and anonymous, helping us generate data-driven insights to improve user experience.
-
Functional Cookies: These are used to recognize you when you return to our Website. This enables us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences (such as your choice of language or region).
-
Third-Party Cookies: We may use third-party plugins (such as analytics providers or form handlers) that may set their own cookies. Ruvako Business Consultants does not control these third-party cookies, and you should check the respective privacy policies of these external providers.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
-
Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically erased whenever you close your browser window.
-
Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They help us recognize you as an existing user, making it easier to return to our Website without resetting your preferences.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences through the following methods:
-
Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our Website, a banner will appear asking for your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can accept or decline these cookies directly through the banner.
-
Browser Settings: You can configure your web browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. Please note that if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of this Website may become inaccessible or not function properly.
For more information on how to manage cookies on popular browsers, please visit their official support pages (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari).
