1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website or service provider may store in your browser. Related technologies may include local browser storage, security tokens and request identifiers.
These technologies can support security, remember settings, maintain sessions or measure website use.
2. Technologies currently used
At the date shown above, the public AfroBiomics website does not intentionally use advertising cookies, behavioural-profiling cookies or website analytics cookies.
The website uses Cloudflare Turnstile on the Start a Project form. Turnstile processes technical security signals and may use strictly necessary cookies or related browser technologies to distinguish people from automated traffic and protect the form from abuse.
3. Strictly necessary technologies
Necessary technologies support functions that are required for website security, content delivery and form operation. They may include:
- Security and bot-detection signals used by Cloudflare Turnstile.
- Temporary form-verification tokens.
- Hosting and content-delivery request identifiers.
- Security controls used to prevent fraud, spam and malicious activity.
Blocking these technologies may prevent the project enquiry form or other security-protected functions from working correctly.
4. Third-party services
Some website functions depend on third-party infrastructure, including Cloudflare, Vercel and Sanity. These providers may process standard technical information necessary to deliver, secure or optimise website content.
When you follow an external link, the destination website may use its own cookies or similar technologies. Those technologies are governed by the external provider’s policies.
5. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to inspect, restrict, delete or block cookies through their privacy and security settings.
Blocking all cookies or browser-storage functions may affect website security checks and prevent some features from operating.
6. Analytics or future technologies
If AfroBiomics introduces non-essential analytics, advertising or preference technologies in the future, this policy will be updated and any consent mechanism required by applicable law will be implemented before those technologies are enabled.
7. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when website functions, service providers or legal requirements change. The latest revision date will appear at the top of this page.
8. Further information
