Cookie Policy
Processing of information via cookies and similar technologies on aurevyntor.com is undertaken on the following legal bases under POPIA: strictly necessary cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website; analytics and marketing cookies are processed only with the site visitor's consent, obtainable and revocable at any time via the cookie banner or the settings described below.
1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file placed on a device when a website is visited. Cookies allow a site to recognise a device on return visits, remember preferences, and gather information about how the site is used. This policy covers cookies and comparable technologies (such as pixels and local storage) used on the website operated by Aurevyntor Financial Consulting (Pty) Ltd (Proprietary Limited (Pty) Ltd), trading as Aurevyntor.
2. Consent categories used on this site
Cookies deployed on aurevyntor.com fall into three categories, set out below with their purpose and legal basis.
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Enable core site functions: page navigation, form submission (contact form), session security, load balancing | Session identifiers, CSRF tokens, cookie-consent record | Legitimate interest / necessary to provide the service requested |
| Analytics | Measure visitor numbers, pages viewed, and time on site to improve content and performance | Analytics client ID, page-view counters | Consent |
| Marketing | Track engagement with the email subscription and any future campaign content, and measure referral sources | Campaign tracking parameters, subscription confirmation cookie | Consent |
3. Necessary cookies
These cookies are set regardless of consent choice because the site cannot function properly without them. They do not require, and are not subject to, opt-out through the cookie banner. Necessary cookies expire at the end of the browser session or within a short fixed period required for security purposes.
4. Analytics cookies
If enabled, analytics cookies record aggregated, pseudonymous data about how visitors interact with pages describing Aurevyntor's financial consulting services. This data is used solely to identify which content is useful and to detect technical faults. Analytics cookies are not set until consent is given and are disabled entirely if consent is refused or withdrawn.
5. Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies are only relevant to visitors who interact with the email subscription form. They may record whether a subscription confirmation link was clicked and which page led to a sign-up. No marketing cookies are placed on visitors who do not subscribe and have not given consent.
6. Cookies and the contact form
Submission of the contact form itself does not require a cookie to function beyond the necessary session cookie preventing duplicate submissions. Data entered into the contact form is handled under the separate Privacy Policy, not under this cookie policy.
7. Managing consent
On first visit to aurevyntor.com, a banner offers the choice to accept all cookies, reject non-necessary cookies, or customise category-level consent. This choice can be changed at any time via the cookie settings link present in the site footer. Consent, once withdrawn, takes effect for future page loads; it does not retroactively delete data already lawfully processed.
8. Browser controls
Cookies can also be blocked or deleted through browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site, including the contact form, from functioning correctly.
9. Third-party cookies
Where analytics or marketing tools are provided by third-party processors, those providers may set their own cookies once consent is given. Aurevyntor Financial Consulting (Pty) Ltd requires such providers to process data only on documented instructions and in a manner consistent with POPIA.
10. Retention
Cookie lifespans vary from the duration of a single browser session up to 12 months, after which they expire automatically and are, where applicable, reset upon the next visit subject to renewed consent.
11. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the cookies used or in applicable law. The version published on aurevyntor.com is the version in effect.
12. Contact
