Google Analytics 4 is active for audience measurement. Advertising scripts are not currently configured, while browser storage supports consent preferences and site operation; the site theme follows the visitor’s device setting.
What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text values saved by a browser and sent back to a website. Session cookies normally disappear when the browser closes; persistent cookies remain for a defined period. First-party technologies are set by TechView Africa or its runtime. Third-party technologies are set by another provider. Local storage is browser storage that is not automatically sent with every request.
The site reads the visitor’s device light/dark preference through the browser’s `prefers-color-scheme` setting and does not store a separate theme preference. Local storage is used for the cookie-consent choice. Supabase may set or receive authentication-related session information when an administrator signs in.

Categories and future services
Strictly necessary technologies support security, sessions and core functions. The site theme follows the visitor’s device setting; browser storage is used for consent choices. Google Analytics 4 measures readership; visitors may also use browser privacy controls and Google’s available opt-out mechanisms. Advertising technologies would be added only after provider, geography, retention and consent requirements are assessed. Embedded media may connect to its provider when a reader loads or plays it.
If another provider is configured, it must be added to this inventory after manual verification before activation.
Cookie settings and browser controls
Use the Cookie Settings link in the footer to reopen the preference centre. You can also clear site data, block cookies or restrict local storage in your browser. Changing device appearance settings changes the site theme; clearing local storage resets the consent choice and can affect administrative sessions or other core features. We do not preselect optional categories.
Withdrawing consent and version
You can change your mind at any time through Cookie Settings. A new choice applies to future non-essential integrations; it cannot retroactively erase information already processed by a provider. Version 1.0 · Effective 6 August 2026 · Last updated 6 August 2026.
