Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognise your device, remember preferences, and gather information about how the site is used. Some cookies are set directly by Dastivo ("first-party cookies"); others are set by third-party services we rely on, such as analytics providers ("third-party cookies").

2. Who sets these cookies

Cookies on dastivo.pro are set by Dastivo Financial Advisory (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2018/452709/07, of 56 Kloof Street, Gardens, Cape Town, 8001, South Africa, and by the third-party service providers named below. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

3. Categories of cookies we use

Our cookie consent tool groups cookies into three categories, matching the choices you can make when you visit the site.

3.1 Essential cookies

Required for core site functions like secure browsing and form submissions; cannot be turned off. Without these cookies, features such as page navigation, secure areas, and contact form submission would not work correctly. Because they are strictly necessary, we do not ask for consent to set them, though you can block them through your browser settings — doing so may break parts of the site.

Purpose	Typical duration
Session integrity, load balancing, security tokens	Session to 12 months
Remembering your cookie consent choices	12 months
Contact and enquiry form submission handling	Session

3.2 Analytics cookies

Helps us see how pages are used so we can improve our content and services. These cookies collect aggregated information about pages visited, time spent on the site, and navigation paths, which we use to understand which advisory content is most useful and where visitors run into difficulty. Analytics cookies are only set once you have given consent through our cookie banner, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

3.3 Marketing cookies

Used to show you relevant offers about our consulting services on other sites. These cookies may be set by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and display relevant advertising for Dastivo services elsewhere on the web. They are only activated with your consent and can be switched off at any time without affecting your ability to use the site.

4. Managing your preferences

You can review and change your cookie choices at any time using the cookie preferences link in our website footer, which reopens the consent panel and lets you accept all cookies, save a custom selection, or withdraw consent for analytics and marketing cookies. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings; most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, remove existing cookies, or be notified before a new cookie is set. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site — including our enquiry forms — from working properly.

5. Third-party services

Where we use third-party analytics or advertising services, those providers may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. We select providers that offer appropriate safeguards for personal information and, where data is transferred outside South Africa, we require contractual protections consistent with POPIA's cross-border transfer requirements.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. The current version will always be available at this address, and material changes will be indicated by an updated revision date.
