Cookie Policy

Last updated October 6, 2025

This Cookie Policy for Africa Network for Critical Security Scholars describes how we use cookies and similar technologies to provide, customize, evaluate, improve, promote, and protect our Services. Note that the cookies are dropped by our webhost, Hosting.com. If you have any comments or questions about this Cookie Policy, feel free to contact us at info@anecs.net.

Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser when you visit a site. They serve a variety of functions, like enabling us to remember certain information you provide to us as you navigate between pages on the Services. We use cookies on our website and associated domains for the following purposes:

Authentication, Customization, Security, and Other Functional Cookies

Cookies help us verify your account and device and determine when you’re logged in, so we can make it easier for you to access the Services and provide the appropriate experiences and features. We also use cookies to help prevent fraudulent use of login credentials and to remember choices you’ve made on the Services, such as your language preference.

Performance And Analytics

Cookies help us analyze how the Services are being accessed and used, and enable us to track the performance of the Services. For example, we use cookies to determine if you viewed a page or opened an email. This helps us provide you with information that you find interesting.

Third Parties

Third-Party Services may use cookies to help you sign into their services from our Services. Any such third-party cookie usage is governed by the policy of the third party placing the cookie.

Tracking

Device Identifiers

We may use device identifiers on web and mobile applications to track, analyze, and improve the performance of the Services and our ads.

Third-Party Tags

We use and manage third-party tags. Third-party tags may take the form of pixels or tracking snippets. We use pixels to learn how you interact with our site pages and emails, and this information helps us and our ad partners provide you with a more tailored experience. We use tracking snippets to capture data from your browser, make requests to a third-party partner, or set cookies on your device to store data. We may use tools like Google Tag Manager to manage our third-party tag usage. This may cause other tags to be activated which may, for their part, collect data and set cookies under certain circumstances.

Opting Out

You can set your browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit your ability to use the Services. We currently don’t respond to DNT:1 signals (Do Not Track) from browsers visiting our Services.

You can also opt out of receiving interest-based ads from certain ad networks here (or if located in the European Union, here).

Updates to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of the Cookie Policy and post it on our site. We encourage you to check back periodically to review this Cookie Policy for any changes since your last visit.
