1. Minimal approach
AfricWebHosting uses no advertising cookies or behavioural tracking. We only deposit cookies strictly necessary for the service to function or for security, in line with the ePrivacy directive and CNIL recommendations (consent not required for these cookies).
No third-party analytics tool (Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible, etc.) is embedded in the site.

3. Local storage
In addition to cookies, we use the browser's localStorage for:
afh_cart_v1: your cart contents (products, quantities, options) before checkout. Persists until you clear the browser or check out. No personal data.
4. How to manage these cookies
Essential cookies (session, language, currency, anti-bot) cannot be disabled without degrading the service.
At any time you can:
- Clear cookies via your browser settings
- Configure your browser to block all cookies (the site will no longer work properly)
- Clear cart content by clicking "Clear my cart" on the cart page
