This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage used on horizonbeeafrica.com, why we use them, and how you choose which ones you allow. It goes with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Similar browser storage (local storage) works in the same way. They let a website remember things between pages and visits, such as that you are signed in or which cookies you allowed.
2. Your choice
On your first visit we show a short note with two buttons. Accept allows all the cookies below. Reject allows only the ones the website needs to work: nothing is then sent to Google Analytics or Meta, and the website works in the same way. Until you choose, only the necessary ones are used. Your choice is kept on your device for 6 months, then we ask again.
You can change your choice at any time: (also at the bottom of every page).
3. The cookies we use

- Cart and site settings (browser storage)
- Your shop cart, the notifications you have opened and similar settings. Kept on your device until you clear them.

Statistics (only if you press Accept)

Advertising (only if you press Accept)
- _fbp, _fbc (Meta pixel, on our website)
- Tell Meta which of our pages you visited and whether you tapped a WhatsApp or phone link, so we can measure our Facebook and Instagram ads. Kept up to 3 months.
- fr and other Meta cookies (set by facebook.com)
- Set by Meta when the pixel loads, if you use Facebook or Instagram in the same browser. Meta explains them in its Cookies Policy.
Embedded content, such as YouTube videos or maps, may set its own cookies when you play or open it. Those are controlled by the provider.
4. Cookies in your browser
You can also see and delete cookies in your browser settings, or block them. Blocking necessary browser storage may stop sign-in and the cart from working. Google offers an opt-out add-on for Google Analytics, and you can manage ads in your Meta ad preferences.
5. Changes
If we add a new kind of cookie, we update this page and ask for your choice again.
