Last updated: November 2024

This policy explains how Afrigini uses cookies on afrigini.com and how you can manage them.

We keep our cookie use minimal. We only use cookies to run the website and keep your account secure.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.

They help the site recognize your device and remember useful details—like keeping you logged in as you move from one page to another—so you do not have to re-enter your password every few seconds.

2. The Cookies We Use

Afrigini runs on a self-hosted WordPress site connected to our self-hosted PocketBase backend in Frankfurt, Germany. We only use two types of cookies:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)

These cookies are required for the website to work properly:

  • WordPress Login & Security: These keep your session secure, verify form submissions (like job applications), and protect the site from spam.
  • PocketBase Authentication: These keep your session active inside your dashboard so you can safely access your CV, test scores, or hiring shortlist.

B. Functional Cookies (Preferences)

These cookies remember your preferences to make your visits smoother:

  • They remember simple settings, such as whether you have already dismissed a notification banner or your preferred language and display settings.

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

To be completely clear about our standards:

  • We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
  • We do not install cross-site tracking pixels.
  • We do not sell or share cookie data with external brokers or advertisers.

4. How to Control or Turn Off Cookies

You can manage or block cookies at any time through your browser settings:

  • Google Chrome: Settings →→ Privacy and Security →→ Cookies and other site data
  • Apple Safari: Settings →→ Privacy →→ Block all cookies
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings →→ Privacy & Security →→ Cookies and Site Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings →→ Cookies and site permissions

Please note: If you disable all cookies in your browser, parts of the site will not work. For instance, you will not be able to log in to your dashboard or take skills assessments.
