Cookie policy
How Hanzi Systems uses cookies, why, and how you can control them. Last updated 3 November 2026.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They help a site work, remember your choices and, if you agree, show the site owner how the site is used. This policy covers this website only.
Who is responsible
Hanzi Systems is a division of Zynkosi Tech. Zynkosi Tech decides why and how information collected through this website is used. You can reach us at [email protected].
The cookies we use
We use one cookie that is strictly necessary and, only if you accept, the Google Analytics cookies listed below. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Set by | Lasts | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hanzi_cookie_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so we do not ask on every visit. | This website | 180 days | Strictly necessary |
| _GRECAPTCHA | Set by Google reCAPTCHA when you start using the contact form. It tells real visitors from automated spam so the form stays protected. | Google reCAPTCHA | 6 months | Strictly necessary |
| _ga | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count visitors rather than page views. | Google Analytics | 2 years | Analytics |
| _ga_<container-id> | Keeps track of your visit (session) so we can see which pages are viewed together. | Google Analytics | 2 years | Analytics |
Google Analytics
If you accept, we use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google, to measure how this website is used so we can improve it. It reports things like:
- which pages are viewed and for how long
- how visitors arrive at the site, for example from a search engine or a link
- the approximate location (country, region or city), device type, browser and screen size
We turn off Google signals and ad personalisation, and we do not use analytics data to identify you. Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses. Information collected by the cookies may be transferred to and processed by Google in countries outside South Africa, including the United States. We only start Google Analytics after you accept.
Your choices
Analytics cookies stay off until you accept them. You can change your choice at any time. If you decline or withdraw consent we stop Google Analytics and remove its cookies from this site. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Your rights
Under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) you may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and withdraw consent you have given. Our privacy policy explains how to do this. If you are unhappy with how your information is handled you may complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa.
Changes to this policy
If we change the cookies we use we will update this page and the date above, and ask for your choice again where the law requires it.
