When you connect to our website, AFRICA BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE may install various cookies on your terminal. Certain cookies are subject to your prior consent and will only be placed if you have previously accepted them. To ensure, for you, the transparency of the personal data that we collect and process, we explain to you, through this cookie policy, what a cookie is, what types of cookies are used, for what purpose, what are the recipients of the data thus collected and what means are available to you to manage these cookies.
Definition
A cookie is a small text file stored on the hard drive of the terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone, games console connected to the Internet, etc.) of an Internet user when consulting a website, an advertisement, reading an email, installing or using software or a mobile application, regardless of the type of terminal used. When you connect to a website or browse a mobile application, a cookie may be transmitted to your browser by the site or application consulted. Your web browser will store it for a certain period of time, and send it back to the web server each time you connect.
1. Our engagements
AFRICA BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE uses the same open source solution used by the CNIL, tarteaucitron.js, to manage the collection of consents or refusals to deposit or read cookies and respect your right to withdraw consent. This solution is hosted on our servers/our Webmaster’s server and is regularly updated by our services.
Concerned about respecting your privacy, AFRICA BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE would like to reassure you: the simple fact of going to our website (home page or directly to another page of the site from a search engine for example) and whether or not to continue browsing does not constitute acceptance and does not result in the installation of Cookies subject to your prior consent. As long as you have not accepted them, no cookies subject to prior consent will be placed or read on your terminal. Refusal to give your consent or lack of choice does not prevent access to our website.
2. How long does my choice last (consent or refusal) ?
We are aware that consent to “being tracked” can be forgotten by the people who expressed it at a given moment. For this reason, your choice to install cookies is valid for 6 months after the first deposit in your terminal. At the end of this period, your choice will be requested again. Furthermore, you can change your choice at any time by going to the Cookie Management page at the bottom of each page of our website.
