Cookie Policy
1. What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how EXCEED — operated by Vertical Momentum (Pvt) Ltd, t/a EXCEED, registration number 7660/2015 (“we,” “us,” “our”) — uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.exceedmyself.com (the “Platform”), and the choices available to you. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal information more broadly.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function properly, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies (such as local storage or tracking pixels) may be used for the same purposes and are covered by this Policy.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Can you opt out? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for core functions: logging in, maintaining your session, remembering your membership status, and processing payments securely. | No, the Platform will not function properly without these. |
| Functional | Remember your preferences (e.g., language, display settings) to improve your experience. | Yes |
| Analytics / performance | Help us understand how members use the Platform (e.g., which activities are most viewed, page load performance), so we can improve it. | Yes |
| Third-party / partner cookies | Set by embedded content or tools from strategic partners (e.g., SEAT AFRICA, WenCHAM) or service providers (e.g., payment processors), where relevant to your activity. | Depends on the third party, see Section 6. |
We do not use cookies for third-party advertising or to sell your data.
4. Why We Use Cookies
Consistent with the lawful processing principles under the Cyber and Data Protection Act [Chapter 12:07], we use cookies to:
- Keep you securely logged in and authenticate your membership;
- Track and correctly attribute Personal Development Credits (PDCs) to your account as you engage in activities;
- Process membership fee payments securely;
- Understand and improve how members use the Platform;
- Remember your preferences between visits.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit the Platform, you will be shown a cookie banner allowing you to accept or manage non-essential cookies (functional and analytics). You can change your preferences at any time by clicking here to reopen your cookie preferences.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Platform — such as logging in or submitting activities for PDCs — from working correctly.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some pages may include content or tools from strategic partners or service providers (for example, a payment gateway, or an embedded SEAT AFRICA or WenCHAM resource). These third parties may set their own cookies, governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control these third-party cookies directly.
7. How Long Cookies Last
- Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (e.g., to keep you logged in between visits) or until you delete them manually.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in Zimbabwean law. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above, and where appropriate, communicated to members directly.
