Cookie Policy

Last updated 14 July 2026.

This policy explains how SD-LINK uses cookies and similar technologies, and the choices available to you. It should be read alongside our broader privacy practices. SD-LINK operates in South Africa and handles personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences (such as sign-in and theme) and help us understand how the service is used.

Strictly necessary cookies (always on)

These are required for SD-LINK to function and cannot be switched off:
  • Authentication — keeps you securely signed in (managed via Amazon Cognito).
  • Consent record — remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask on every visit.
  • Preferences — e.g. your light/dark theme.

Optional analytics cookies (only with your consent)

With your permission we use privacy-friendly product analytics — Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights — to measure aggregate usage and performance (which pages are visited, load times). These help us improve the platform. They are only loaded after you choose “Accept all”, and are not used for advertising.

Your choices

When you first visit, you can accept or decline optional cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the button below, or by clearing cookies in your browser. Declining optional cookies does not affect your ability to use SD-LINK.

Manage your preferences

Change or withdraw your consent to optional cookies at any time.

For any questions about this policy or how we handle your personal information, please contact SD-LINK support using the details on our website.
