Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Cadelis Rivergate Financial Advisory (Pty) Ltd (Proprietary Limited (Pty) Ltd), trading as Cadelis Rivergate, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on cadelis.site when you visit our site to learn about our financial consulting services, use our contact form, or subscribe to our email updates. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that allow us to recognise your browser, remember choices, and understand how our website is used. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we process personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 ("POPIA").

Effective date: 1 January 2026

1. How Cookies Reach Your Device

When you first land on cadelis.site, our server does not automatically drop tracking cookies on your device. Instead, a consent banner appears, giving you the opportunity to choose which categories of cookies you permit before any non-essential cookie is set. Only once you interact with that banner — by accepting all, rejecting non-essential categories, or customising your selection — do cookies falling outside the "necessary" category get written to your browser. This section sets out, step by step, what happens from the moment you arrive at the site to the moment cookies are placed and later removed.

2. Step One: Arrival and the Consent Prompt

1. You navigate to cadelis.site using your browser.
2. Our web server delivers the page content together with a small set of strictly necessary cookies required to render the site and remember your cookie preferences once made.
3. A consent banner is displayed, listing the cookie categories described below and offering options to accept, reject, or customise.
4. No analytics or marketing cookie is set at this stage — your browser holds only the necessary cookies until you make a choice.

3. Step Two: Your Choice Is Recorded

1. Once you make a selection, a consent-record cookie is stored on your device reflecting your choices per category.
2. If you accepted analytics or marketing cookies, the corresponding scripts load and begin setting their own cookies on subsequent page views.
3. If you rejected a category, the associated scripts are blocked from loading and no cookies in that category are set.
4. You may return to your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie settings link available in the site footer, and change your selection, which will update the stored consent record accordingly.

4. Step Three: Cookies Interact With Your Visit

1. As you browse pages describing our financial consulting services, necessary cookies maintain session state (for example, keeping the site functional as you move between pages).
2. If analytics cookies are active, they record anonymised or pseudonymised information about pages viewed, time spent, and navigation paths, helping us understand which content is useful to visitors.
3. If marketing cookies are active, they may track your visit across sessions to help us measure the effectiveness of any promotional content and avoid showing you repetitive material.
4. Cookies set through our contact form or email subscription process (see below) are limited to necessary functional cookies that allow the form to submit correctly and prevent duplicate submissions; they do not track you for marketing purposes.

5. Step Four: Expiry and Removal

1. Each cookie carries a defined lifespan, after which it expires automatically and is deleted by your browser.
2. You may also delete cookies manually at any time through your browser settings, which will remove stored cookies immediately, though this may reset your consent preferences and require you to make a new selection on your next visit.
3. Where you withdraw consent for analytics or marketing cookies via our settings link, those cookies are deleted from your device on your next page load and the underlying scripts cease to run.

6. Cookie Categories Used on This Site

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function, including remembering your cookie consent choices, enabling secure submission of our contact form, and maintaining basic session security. They cannot be switched off in our system and do not require your consent under POPIA, as they are necessary for providing the service you requested.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies, set only with your consent, help us understand how visitors use cadelis.site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and which links are clicked. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the content and structure of our site and does not identify you personally unless combined with other data you have voluntarily provided.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies, also set only with your consent, may be used to measure the performance of any advertising or promotional communications relating to our financial consulting services and to ensure that any such communications remain relevant to your interests. We do not currently run third-party advertising networks on this site, but this category is reserved should that change, and you will be asked for fresh consent before any such cookie is activated.

7. Relationship to the Contact Form and Email Subscription

When you complete our contact form to enquire about our services, or subscribe to our email updates, the personal information you submit (such as your name, email address, and enquiry details) is not stored in a cookie but is transmitted directly to our systems and retained in accordance with our Privacy Policy. A necessary cookie may be used briefly during that submission process solely to prevent duplicate form entries and to confirm successful submission; it is not used to build a profile of you.

8. Retention Table

9. Managing Your Preferences

You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time using the cookie settings link in the site footer, or by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies generally. Please note that blocking necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the contact form and other parts of the site. For questions about this Cookie Policy or how we process personal information under POPIA, please contact us using the details below.
