This Cookie Policy explains how Studio Continua (Pty) Ltd (trading as Pavemints) uses cookies and similar technologies on pavemints.co.za (the "Service"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember things between requests — for example, that you are signed in. Similar technologies (like local storage) work in comparable ways.
2. Our approach
Pavemints uses only essential cookies. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, or third-party analytics cookies. Our product analytics are first-party and do not rely on personal-data cookies — they record PII-free usage events, and the Business analytics product is aggregated and anonymised.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie / technology | Type | Purpose | Roughly how long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication session token | Essential | Keeps you securely signed in | Until sign-out / session expiry |
| CSRF / security token | Essential | Protects sign-in and form actions against forgery | Session |
| Sign-in callback state | Essential | Completes the sign-in redirect flow | Short-lived |
(These are set by our authentication system, Auth.js. Our hosting provider, Vercel, may set minimal operational cookies needed to serve the site securely.)
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested (a secure, signed-in session), they do not require prior consent — but we tell you about them here for transparency.
4. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will break sign-in and stop parts of the Service from working. Guides for common browsers are available in each browser's help pages.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the Service changes. The "Last updated" date above will reflect the latest version.
