This policy applies to Fedgroup Financial Holdings (Pty) Ltd., a licensed controlling company, and its subsidiaries (hereinafter ''Fedgroup'').
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. These files do not contain personal data, but they do contain a personal identifier allowing us to associate your personal data with a certain device. Many websites use cookies and you can find out more about them at www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Why do we use cookies?
These files (cookies) serve a number of useful purposes for you, including:
• granting you access to restricted content;
• tailoring our website’s functionality to you personally by letting us remember your preferences, location or device type;
• improving how our website performs;
• understanding who our audience is so that we can provide content most relevant to you;
• allowing third parties to provide services to our website; and
• helping us deliver interest-based advertising where appropriate in compliance with the applicable laws.
Types of cookies we use
We use different types of cookies on our website. Some of these cookies are placed by us, while others are placed by our third-party plug-ins or suppliers. These cookies may be deleted from your device at different times, such as at the end of your browsing session (when you leave the website) or after a pre-set amount of time, or they may stay on your device until you delete them.
We use the following types of cookies on our website:
Necessary cookies – these are cookies that allow our website to perform its essential functions. Without these cookies, some parts of our websites would stop working.

What is the duration of the cookies we use?
In terms of duration, we may use two different types of cookies on our website:

Deleting cookies
Deleting or no longer accepting cookies may prevent you from accessing certain aspects of our website where cookies are necessary, or because the website forgot your preferences.
On our mobile App
Our mobile App uses technology called a webview to display online content. Cookies are stored within a webview like they are stored in a browser setting. Webview is similar to mobile browsers because it is unique per application and cannot share cookie information between Apps or the device’s web browser.
Mobile Apps operate independently of each other. Each App functions as a standalone product and has an incredibly limited ability to access data from other Apps. Because of this, though cookies can store a user's preferences within an App, other Apps cannot access those preferences.
Updates and changes
We may occasionally make changes to the policy and will update the web page. Please ensure that you visit our website and regularly read this Cookie Policy. Although we do not promise to do so, we may give you notice of any changes we think are important.
