1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use them to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Registry is used so we can improve it.

2. Cookies We Use

dpp_cookie_consentRecords your cookie consent choice1 yearEssential

We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or social media pixels.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the Registry to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality such as login and passport minting. Under POPIA and ECTA, essential cookies do not require explicit consent — but we tell you about them anyway.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies improve your experience (e.g., remembering your sector so DPP speaks to you correctly). You can disable these by declining non-essential cookies in our consent banner. The Registry will still work without them.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings — consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
