Vigia cookie notice
AI draft for legal review. This is a first draft prepared with AI assistance for 365solutions. It is not legal advice. It must not be published until a qualified South African attorney has reviewed it, and the cookie table has been checked against the live website. Points the lawyer must confirm are listed in section 8.
Version 0.1 (draft) · 9 November 2026 · Website footer: Cookies
1. What this notice covers
1.1 This notice explains the cookies and similar technologies (local storage) used on vigia.africa, on each company's Vigia web address (for example yourcompany.vigia.africa), and in the Vigia web apps (command-centre console, back office and client portal). It is part of our privacy statement.
1.2 A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar store in your browser that a site can read later.
2. Our approach
2.1 No tracking before consent. We set only strictly necessary cookies until you choose otherwise. We do not use advertising cookies.
2.2 Your choice. The first time you visit vigia.africa, a banner lets you accept or refuse optional cookies. You can change your choice at any time through the Cookie settings link in the footer.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
These make the site and apps work and keep them secure. They cannot be switched off in our settings.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
__Host-vigia-rt |
Vigia web apps (through our gateway) | Keeps you signed in securely. Holds a refresh token; it cannot be read by page scripts (HttpOnly), is sent only over HTTPS (Secure) and only to the site that set it (SameSite=Strict) | The sign-in lifetime of the app you use [confirm per app] |
| [identity service sign-in cookie — name to confirm] | Vigia sign-in service | Remembers your sign-in step and protects it against forgery | Session [confirm] |
| [cookie-consent cookie — name to confirm] | vigia.africa | Remembers your cookie choice | [12] months |
| [load-balancer / edge cookie, if any — confirm] | Our hosting edge (Azure Front Door) | Routes your requests reliably | Session |
4. Local storage in the apps
The Vigia web apps keep small preferences in your browser's local storage, such as the last tab you opened, a filter, or an unsent draft. These stay on your device, are not used to track you and are not shared. Clearing your browser data removes them.
5. Optional cookies (only with your consent)
| Category | Used for | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics | Counting visits and seeing which pages help visitors, in aggregate | [analytics provider, if any — to decide; prefer a cookie-free or privacy-friendly tool] |
[If no analytics tool is used, delete this section and say: "We currently use no optional cookies."]
6. Third-party content
Some pages may show content from other services (for example a map). Those services may set their own cookies under their own policies; where they are optional we load them only after you agree.
7. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, signing in to Vigia will not work.
8. Points for legal review
- Confirm the final cookie list against the live site and apps (names, durations), including any edge or consent-tool cookies.
- Whether POPIA requires consent for analytics cookies that do not identify a person, or whether legitimate interests is enough (we chose consent as the safer default and to meet GDPR-style expectations).
- Whether an analytics tool will be used at all, and which.
