This Cookie Policy explains how SIFANET SYSTEMS Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They let the site remember your choices and help us understand how the site is used. Some cookies are set by us (first party cookies) and some are set by services we use (third party cookies).
2. How We Use Cookies
We group the cookies on this website into two categories:
Essential cookies: These are required for the website to work and cannot be switched off. They keep forms secure and remember your cookie choice. They do not identify you personally.
Analytics cookies: These help us understand which pages are visited and how visitors move around the site, so we can improve it. We set them only after you allow them, and we ask Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses. The same choice controls Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views without setting any cookie. Vercel Web Analytics does not set cookies and does not store your IP address; it recognises a visit by a code that is reset every 24 hours.
We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.
3. Cookies We Set
sifanet_consent (essential, 12 months): records your cookie choices so we do not ask you on every visit
csrftoken (essential, 12 months): protects the contact and quotation forms against cross site request forgery
sessionid (essential, session): used only when an administrator signs in to manage the website
_ga and _ga_[ID] (analytics, up to 2 years): set by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors, only when you allow analytics
4. Third Party Services
Google Maps: The map on our Contact page is provided by Google. When the map loads, Google may set its own cookies under the Google Privacy Policy.
WhatsApp: Our chat window lets you write a message on this website. Nothing is sent until you press send, which opens WhatsApp, a service of Meta Platforms. From that point the WhatsApp terms and privacy policy apply.
Image delivery: Images on this website are delivered by Cloudinary. It does not set cookies for this purpose.
Vercel: This website is hosted by Vercel. When you allow analytics, Vercel Web Analytics records page views without cookies, and the data is used only to show us how the site is visited.
5. Managing Your Choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or choose your settings. You can change your decision at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the website footer. If you reject analytics after allowing it, we remove the analytics cookies from your browser.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop some parts of the website, such as the forms, from working.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the services we use or when the law requires it. The "Last updated" date on this page shows the most recent revision.
