Cookie Policy
Effective Date: 1 October 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Global Institute For Skills And Excellence Africa ("GISE Africa," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on giseafrica.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They let the site recognise your browser, for example to keep you signed in as you move between pages.
We also use local storage, which lets a website keep small pieces of information in your browser. Unlike cookies, local storage is never sent to our servers automatically.
2. Our Approach
We keep cookies to a minimum. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party analytics, or social media tracking pixels. The only cookies we set are the ones the Services need to work.
3. Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are needed to sign you in and keep your account secure. The Services cannot work without them, so they cannot be switched off.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
session | Keeps you signed in. It holds a secure token that identifies your session and cannot be read by scripts on the page. | Up to 1 year, or until you sign out |
auth_token | Lets pages in your dashboard make secure requests to our servers on your behalf | Up to 1 year, or until you sign out |
Signing out deletes both cookies and ends the session on our servers.
3.2 Local Storage
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
greenline:app-state:v1 | Remembers courses you viewed recently and registration choices you have not finished, on this device only | Until you clear your browser data |
3.3 Third-Party Cookies
| Provider | When | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
