This Cookie Policy explains how SwiftCIPC, operated as a subsidiary of Citadel Digital Services (Pty) Ltd (Enterprise Number: K2024484226, SARS Tax Number: 9153266284), uses cookies, local storage mechanisms, and related tracking technologies on our website (https://swiftcipc.co.za).
SwiftCIPC is designed to support applicable privacy requirements, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA). We believe in total transparency regarding how your browser stores and exchanges information.
You can change or withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, maintain active login sessions, and provide reporting information to site owners.
LocalStorage and SessionStorage are web storage mechanisms that allow websites to store data locally in your browser. Unlike traditional cookies, local storage has larger storage capacity and is not automatically transmitted with every network request, making it safer for storing multi-step form progress and offline caches.
In strict accordance with our audit, below is the complete record of technologies used across SwiftCIPC:
These items are essential for security, authentication, and core service fulfillment. Because the website cannot function properly without them, they are exempt from optional consent under applicable privacy frameworks and remain active.
