What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by websites you visit. They allow a site to remember information between page loads — such as whether you are signed in. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called “first-party”; those set by third-party services embedded on the page are called “third-party”. AfriConnect sets first-party cookies only.
Functional cookies only
We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. No cookie data is shared with or sold to any third party.
