This page explains the small amount of browser storage used on our corporate website and what to expect if that changes.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on or accessed from a computer, phone or other device when a website is used. Similar technologies include local storage, tracking pixels, software development kits and device identifiers.
These technologies can support essential website functions, remember preferences, measure performance or help organisations understand how services are used.
What this website currently uses
This website stores one item in your browser’s local storage. It records that you have dismissed the cookie notice so the notice does not appear on every page.
The item is named agcn-cookie-choice, stores the value accepted and remains until you clear this website’s stored data. It is not used to identify you, follow you across websites or measure your activity.
We do not currently use analytics, advertising or behavioural-targeting cookies on this corporate website. If we introduce embedded media, analytics, marketing tools or another optional technology, we will update this policy and add the appropriate choice before activating it where consent is required.
Cookie categories
| Name or category | Purpose | Duration and status |
|---|---|---|
agcn-cookie-choice | Remembers that the cookie notice has been dismissed. | Active; remains until browser storage is cleared |
| Preferences | Remember optional choices such as language, region or display preferences. | Not currently used intentionally |
| Analytics | Measure visits, page use, performance and errors. | Not currently used intentionally |
| Marketing | Measure campaigns, personalise advertising or track users across services. | Not currently used intentionally |
| Third-party media | Enable embedded videos, maps, social posts or other external content. | May apply if embedded content is added |
Some third-party websites reached through external links may set their own cookies. Their practices are governed by their own cookie and privacy notices.
Consent and preferences
The Got it button simply dismisses the notice and remembers that choice. It is not consent to analytics, advertising or other optional tracking because those tools are not currently running on this website.
Strictly necessary technologies may be used without optional consent where they are genuinely required to provide a service requested by the user or maintain essential security and functionality.
If we use non-essential cookies or similar technologies in the future, we will explain them and request an appropriate choice before activation unless a legal exception applies.
You should be able to accept or reject optional categories with the same level of ease and change your choice later. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place lawfully before withdrawal.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow users to view, block or delete cookies and site data. The exact controls vary by browser and device. Blocking all storage may prevent some website functions from working correctly.
You may clear the saved cookie-notice preference through your browser’s site-data or local-storage settings. The notice may appear again after stored data is removed, a different browser or device is used, or the website’s preference system changes.
Where applicable, we will also honour browser-based privacy signals that the law requires us to recognise.
Third-party technologies
Our pages may link to The Geek Circle, Founders Summit, Seed, X, LinkedIn, ticketing services or other external providers. Opening an external service may allow that provider to collect information or place cookies according to its own settings and policies.
If we later embed third-party media or tools directly within this website, we will assess whether prior consent is required and update the cookie table or consent interface accordingly.
Changes and contact
We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, consent tools, service providers or applicable rules change. The date at the top of the page shows the latest revision.
Questions about cookies or website tracking may be sent to info@aftericageekcirclenetwork.com or africa@aftericageekcirclenetwork.com.
For more information about how related personal information is handled, read our Privacy Policy.
