1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner about how the site is being used.
As well as cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, and local storage. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.
2. Who We Are
This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Women Unlimited, a registered non-profit organisation based in Mbabane, Eswatini. Women Unlimited is the Data Controller for personal information collected through this website, including any data collected via cookies.
For full details of how we handle personal information more generally, please read our Privacy Policy.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Make our website function correctly and securely
- Remember your cookie consent preferences
- Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- Ensure our online forms work as intended
We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose. We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for marketing.
4. The Cookies We Use
Our website uses a cookie management tool (Complianz) which scans our site regularly and keeps this section up to date with the cookies in use. The categories below describe the types of cookies that may be present.
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information. They are set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or setting your privacy preferences. You cannot opt out of these cookies.
Examples include:
- Cookies that remember your cookie consent choices (set by Complianz)
- Session cookies that keep our contact and referral forms working correctly
- Security cookies that help protect against cross-site request forgery
4.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some functionality may not work as intended.
4.3 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information anonymously. We use this information to improve the website and make it easier to find support and information. No individual visitor is identified through analytics cookies.
Analytics cookies are only placed on your device if you have given your consent via our cookie banner. You may withdraw this consent at any time (see Section 7).
Where analytics services are in use on this website, the full list of cookies they set is maintained automatically in the cookie declaration below, which is updated monthly by our cookie scanning tool.
4.4 Cookie Declaration
The table below is generated and kept up to date automatically by Complianz. It lists the cookies currently detected on this website, their purpose, and their retention period.

If the cookie list above is not visible, please ensure the Complianz plugin is active and has completed its site scan.
5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Under the Eswatini Data Protection Act, 2022 (Act No. 5 of 2022), we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information, including information collected via cookies.
- Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a functional and secure website. These do not require your consent.
- Analytics and functional cookies are only placed with your explicit consent, which you provide via our cookie consent banner when you first visit the site.
Eswatini’s Data Protection Act, 2022 is closely aligned with international best practice, including the principles underpinning the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). We manage cookie consent in accordance with these principles, applying the standard that non-essential cookies require opt-in consent before being set.
6. Our Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner. This banner is provided by Complianz, a cookie compliance tool used on our WordPress website.
The banner allows you to:
- Accept all cookies — consent to strictly necessary, functional, and analytics cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies — only strictly necessary cookies will be set
Your choice is remembered for future visits using a strictly necessary cookie. You can change your preferences at any time (see Section 7).
We do not set non-essential cookies before you have made a choice. Our banner is configured to block all non-essential scripts until consent is given.
7. How to Manage or Withdraw Your Consent
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time in the following ways:

They do not collect the content of any forms you complete, or any information you disclose about yourself or your circumstances.
Form submissions on this website are handled separately and securely. Please see our Privacy Policy for full details of how information submitted through our forms is handled.
10. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes to the law, or updates to our cookie scanning results.
