1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Beninevisa.com ("we", "our" or "the website") uses, or may use, cookies and similar technologies when visitors browse our webpages, request visa information, complete application forms or interact with website services.
Beninevisa.com is an independent visa and travel assistance website. It is not the official website of the Government of Benin.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device through your browser. They can remember information such as session identifiers, language preferences or choices you have made during a previous visit.
Websites may also use related technologies, including local storage, pixels and similar browser-based identifiers. These technologies can serve different purposes depending on their configuration.
Some cookies are necessary for a website to function. Others are used to measure visits, personalize content or support advertising.
3. Categories of Cookies
The following table explains the main categories of cookies that may be relevant to this website. It does not establish that every category is currently deployed.
| Category | Purpose | Consent approach |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, session management, application functionality, fraud prevention and saving consent choices. | Normally does not require opt-in consent where legally exempt. |
| Analytics | Understanding website visits, page usage and performance. | Disabled until consent where consent is required. |
| Preferences | Remembering optional personalization or visitor settings. | Consent may be required depending on purpose and legal exemption. |
| Marketing | Advertising measurement, remarketing and tracking across websites. | Disabled until consent where consent is required. |
Website-specific cookie inventory:
Exact cookie names, providers, expiration periods
and purposes must be established by auditing the
technologies actually installed on Beninevisa.com.
This policy does not claim that an unverified
service is currently active.
4. Third-Party Cookies and Services
Some website functions may involve external service providers. Depending on which services are installed, these could include payment processors, fraud-prevention systems, analytics providers, embedded media or advertising platforms.
Payment Services
When a visitor proceeds to payment, a payment service provider may use necessary security technologies to authenticate transactions, prevent fraud or complete payment processing. The provider's own privacy information may also apply.
Website Analytics
If analytics services are installed, they may collect information about website interactions, such as visited pages, device type and approximate usage patterns. Non-essential analytics technologies must be controlled according to applicable consent requirements.
Embedded Content and External Links
External websites may operate their own cookies when you visit them. Links to other visa, travel or government websites do not mean that their cookies are controlled by us.
5. How Long Do Cookies Remain on Your Device?
Cookies generally fall into two groups:
- Session cookies: Usually expire when the browsing session ends.
- Persistent cookies: Remain until their configured expiry or until they are deleted.
The duration of each cookie depends on its purpose and configuration. A verified cookie inventory should identify the actual retention period for each deployed technology.
6. Manage Your Cookie Preferences
Use the controls below to save or update your preferences for optional categories. Strictly necessary technologies cannot be disabled through these controls.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Required for core website operations and remembering privacy choices.
Analytics Cookies
Optional website usage and performance measurement.
Preference Cookies
Optional personalization and remembered settings.
Marketing Cookies
Optional advertising measurement and personalization.
These controls store your preferences in your browser. Your website's optional scripts must be integrated with the stored choices to enforce them.
7. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to inspect, delete or block cookies through their privacy settings. You can also use private browsing modes or configure restrictions on third-party cookies.
Blocking essential cookies may prevent some application forms, security checks, sessions or payment processes from functioning properly.
Browser settings do not necessarily replace consent choices for all tracking technologies.
8. Cookies and Personal Information
Some cookie identifiers may constitute personal data when they identify or can be linked to an individual.
Personal information submitted through a visa application form is different from ordinary cookie preference information. Application data may include passport, contact and travel information and should be handled according to our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection requirements.
A cookie preference does not authorize unrelated uses of visa application data.
9. International Processing
Some service providers may process information outside the country where you live. Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate legal requirements and safeguards must be considered.
The actual countries, providers and transfer mechanisms depend on the services deployed by the website and should be described accurately in the Privacy Policy.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law and your circumstances, you may have rights to obtain information about personal-data processing, request access or correction, seek deletion, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent.
Withdrawing consent should be as easy as giving it. A withdrawal does not automatically invalidate processing that was lawful before the withdrawal.
To make a privacy request, use our contact page or email support@beninevisa.com.
11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when our website technologies, service providers or legal obligations change.
Material changes affecting optional cookie purposes may require visitors to make new consent choices.
