Cookie Policy & Storage Mechanisms.

Effective Date: 1 January 2024.

This document explains how mzansiquant utilizes local storage mechanisms to ensure stable navigation, persistent interface settings, and consent management. Our system does not employ advertising cookies or tracking mechanisms that follow users across third-party websites. All stored data is anonymized and cannot be linked to your physical identity, ensuring your privacy remains intact regardless of storage duration.

  1. Necessary Cookies

    Essential cookies are required for the basic functionality of our platform. These include session tokens that maintain your authentication state and navigation context, load balancer identifiers that ensure service reliability, and security tokens that prevent cross-site request forgery attacks. These cookies cannot be disabled as they are fundamental to platform operation.

  2. Preference Storage

    Preference cookies store your language, density, and accessibility settings to provide a personalized experience. Interface customisation cookies enable animations and expanded layouts only when you explicitly opt in. These cookies are never used for behavioral advertising or cross-site tracking, and they are deleted when you clear your browser data.

  3. Analytics and Performance

    Analytics cookies, when consented, track load distribution and error occurrence rates to improve platform stability. We use this data to optimize server response times and identify potential bottlenecks in your user journey. Performance cookies require explicit consent and are used solely to improve user experience, never for profiling or targeting.

  4. Management Controls

    You may manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie banner located at the bottom of every page. Our accept and decline controls persist your choices in local storage, ensuring consistency across sessions. You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies, though this may impact certain platform features.

  5. Detailed Instructions

    Selecting 'Accept All' enables standard session management, performance metrics, and interface customization. Selecting 'Decline' disables all non-essential cookies, ensuring a minimal footprint on your device. Detailed instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available through your browser's help documentation, providing you with full control over your digital privacy.
