Cookie Policy
Last Updated: November 15, 2023
This Cookie Policy explains how Bofigo Sivama uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for analytics and other purposes.
Types of Cookies We Use
The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|

| Analytical/Performance Cookies | These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. | Up to 2 years |

How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie banner or by configuring your browser settings accordingly.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you. Additionally, some features may not work properly.
You can usually find these settings in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser. The following links may be helpful:
- Cookie settings in Chrome
- Cookie settings in Firefox
- Cookie settings in Safari
- Cookie settings in Edge
- Cookie settings in Opera
Third-Party Opt-Outs
Several third-party services provide opt-out features that allow you to opt out of data collection through cookies and related technologies:
- Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Network Advertising Initiative Opt-out Tool
- Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-out Tool
Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage:
Web Beacons
Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that may be used to track user engagement and collect analytics.
Local Storage
HTML5 local storage allows data to be stored within the browser rather than cookies. This data persists after the browser is closed and can be used for similar purposes as cookies.
Pixels
Transparent images that are used to track user activity, conversions, and website traffic.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how to interpret DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. We encourage you to check this page periodically for the latest information on our use of cookies.
