This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in fuller detail how Brenivo Capital processes personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

B. Why Brenivo Capital Uses Cookies
1. Brenivo Capital provides financial consulting services (финансовый консалтинг), and our website is a professional tool through which prospective and existing clients learn about our services, submit enquiries through our contact form, and, where they choose, subscribe to receive updates by email. Cookies and similar technologies support the functioning of this site, help us understand how it is used, and, where consent is given, allow us to measure the effectiveness of our communications.
2. We do not use cookies to build detailed behavioural profiles for resale to third parties, nor do we sell any data collected through cookies.
C. Categories of Cookies Used on This Site
1. Cookies deployed on brenivo.site fall into three categories. Only the first category is placed without prior consent; the remaining two are activated only once a user has given consent through the cookie banner.
C.1 Necessary Cookies
2. These cookies are strictly required for the website to operate correctly and cannot be switched off. They typically relate to matters such as remembering the user's cookie consent choices, enabling secure form submission through our contact form, and maintaining basic session stability while a user browses the site. Because these cookies are essential to the functioning of the site and do not involve profiling, POPIA and standard practice do not require prior consent for their use, though we disclose them here for transparency.
| Purpose | Type | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent record | First-party, persistent | Up to 12 months |
| Session security / load balancing | First-party, session | Duration of browser session |
| Contact form submission integrity (anti-spam token) | First-party, session | Duration of browser session |
C.2 Analytics Cookies
3. With the user's consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors navigate brenivo.site, which pages are viewed most frequently, and how our contact form and subscription features are used in aggregate. This information helps us improve the site's structure and content. Analytics data is generally processed in aggregated or pseudonymised form and is not used to identify individual visitors for marketing purposes.
| Purpose | Type | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor traffic and behaviour analysis | Third-party, persistent | Up to 24 months |
| Page performance and error tracking | Third-party, persistent | Up to 12 months |
C.3 Marketing Cookies
4. With the user's consent, marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of email communications sent to subscribers of our mailing list, and, where applicable, to tailor content relating to Brenivo Capital's services when a user visits partner platforms. These cookies may be set by third-party providers engaged to support our email subscription service.
| Purpose | Type | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Email campaign engagement tracking | Third-party, persistent | Up to 12 months |
| Retargeting / interest-based content | Third-party, persistent | Up to 12 months |
D. How Cookies Relate to the Contact Form and Email Subscription
1. When a visitor completes our contact form, a necessary cookie may be used to preserve the integrity of that submission and to prevent automated abuse. The personal information submitted through the form (such as name, email address, and the content of the enquiry) is processed as described in our Privacy Policy, not under this Cookie Policy, and is not linked to analytics or marketing cookies unless the visitor separately consents to such tracking.
2. When a visitor subscribes to our email list, no cookie is required to complete that subscription itself. However, if the visitor has consented to marketing cookies, subsequent engagement with emails sent by Brenivo Capital (such as opening a message or clicking a link) may be tracked through pixel technologies or cookies operated by our email service provider, for the purpose of understanding engagement and improving our communications.
E. Managing Cookie Preferences
1. On first visiting brenivo.site, users are presented with a cookie banner allowing them to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or configure their preferences by category. Consent, once given, may be withdrawn or amended at any time by revisiting the cookie preference settings accessible via the link provided in the website footer.
2. Users may also control or delete cookies through their browser settings. Most browsers allow users to view which cookies are stored, delete them individually or collectively, and block cookies from specific or all websites. Users should note that disabling necessary cookies may impair core functions of the site, including submission of the contact form.
3. Instructions for managing cookies are generally available in the help section of the relevant browser (for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge).
F. Third-Party Providers
1. Where analytics or marketing cookies are used, the underlying services are provided by third parties who act, in respect of the relevant processing, either as operators on our instruction or as independent responsible parties in their own right, depending on the nature of the service. We select providers that maintain appropriate safeguards for personal information, and where such providers process information outside South Africa, we take reasonable steps to ensure a comparable level of protection is applied, consistent with the cross-border transfer requirements of POPIA.
G. Retention
1. Cookies are retained only for the durations indicated in the tables above, after which they expire automatically. Users may shorten these periods at any time by clearing cookies through their browser or by withdrawing consent via our preference settings.
H. Your Rights
1. As a data subject under POPIA, you have the right to be informed of the processing of your personal information, to access information held about you, to request correction or deletion of that information, to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interest, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before such withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights in relation to cookie-derived data, please contact us at [email protected] or +27 11 733 7641.
2. You are also entitled to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa should you consider that our use of cookies does not comply with POPIA.
I. Changes to This Policy
1. Brenivo Capital may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. The date of the most recent revision will be indicated below. We encourage users to review this page periodically.
