This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how the Fashion Law Institute Africa uses them on our website and digital platforms, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our platforms without changing your settings, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator about how visitors use the site.
Cookies can be "session cookies" — which are deleted when you close your browser — or "persistent cookies" — which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by third-party services on a website (such as analytics or advertising tools) are called "third-party cookies".
2. Who Sets Cookies?
Cookies on our Platforms are set by:
- FLI Africa directly (first-party cookies) — to make our website function correctly and to remember your preferences.
- Third-party service providers we use — including analytics tools, payment processors, and newsletter platforms (third-party cookies).
3. The Cookies We Use

This helps us improve our website and the quality of our content. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
- → Google Analytics (or equivalent): collects information about your use of our website. You may opt out of analytics tracking by adjusting your preferences.

Some third-party services embedded in or linked from our Platforms may set their own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for them. We encourage you to review their respective policies.
