Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit a page. Cookies can store information such as a session identifier, preference, browser state, consent status, security token or analytics identifier. They help websites work, remember choices and understand how visitors interact with pages.

Cookies may be set directly by www.gabon-visa.com or by service providers used to operate, secure, measure, host, support or improve the website.

2. Similar technologies

In addition to cookies, the website may use similar technologies. These may include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, beacons, scripts, device identifiers, log files and analytics events.

These technologies can perform functions similar to cookies, such as remembering a cookie notice preference, measuring page performance, detecting technical errors, securing forms or helping customer-support tools work.

3. Why we use cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• To operate pages, forms, menus, buttons, security functions and website features.
• To remember cookie notice status, basic preferences or previous interactions.
• To improve website speed, reliability, accessibility and user experience.
• To measure traffic, page visits, browser behavior, errors and performance trends.
• To protect forms and services from spam, fraud, automated abuse and unauthorized access.
• To support visa information pages, contact forms, application support and customer-service tools.
• To understand which pages help users prepare Gabon visa, eVisa and entry documents.
• To comply with legal, security, operational and service-delivery requirements.

4. Types of cookies we may use

The website may use several categories of cookies. Some are necessary for the site to work, while others help with preferences, security, analytics or optional measurement.

5. Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They may be used to enable page loading, secure form submission, cookie notice display, spam protection, session continuity and basic site navigation.

If essential cookies are blocked, some website features may not load, forms may not submit, security checks may fail or support tools may stop working correctly.

6. Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may collect information such as pages visited, time on page, referring page, browser type, device type, approximate location, technical errors and interaction patterns.

Analytics helps improve visa information pages, application support content, navigation, page speed and user experience. Where possible, analytics may be aggregated or pseudonymized.

7. Preference cookies and local storage

Preference cookies or local storage may remember choices you make on the website. For example, the website may store whether you dismissed the cookie notice so it does not appear on every page.

The cookie notice may use a local storage key such as cookieNoticeDismissed to remember that the notice has been accepted or dismissed. Clearing browser storage may reset this preference.

8. Security cookies

Security cookies and similar technologies may be used to protect forms, detect suspicious behavior, reduce automated abuse, prevent spam, secure sessions, support rate limiting and protect website infrastructure.

These technologies help protect users and the website from misuse, fraudulent activity, unauthorized access, malicious scripts, fake form submissions and service disruption.

9. Third-party cookies and service providers

Some cookies or similar technologies may be set by third-party service providers that help operate, host, secure, analyze, support or improve the website. These providers may include hosting services, analytics platforms, security tools, customer-support systems, payment processors or performance-measurement tools.

Third-party providers may process cookie data according to their own privacy policies and service terms. We recommend reviewing those policies where a third-party service is clearly identified or linked.

10. How long cookies stay on your device

Cookies may last for different periods:

• Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser or end the session.
• Persistent cookies: remain for a defined period unless you delete them earlier.
• Local storage: may remain until deleted by the website script, browser setting or user action.
• Third-party cookies: follow the duration set by the third-party provider.

You can delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. This may remove saved preferences and cause cookie notices or settings to reappear.

11. How to control or delete cookies

You can control cookies using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete cookies, block third-party cookies, clear local storage, use private browsing or set site-specific permissions.

Common browser controls

• Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
• Delete cookies and site data after each browsing session.
• Clear cached data, local storage and browsing history.
• Set permissions for www.gabon-visa.com specifically.
• Use private or incognito browsing mode.
• Install browser privacy extensions, subject to compatibility.

Blocking cookies may affect forms, security checks, saved preferences, page functions, analytics and support tools. Essential cookies may be required for the website to work properly.

12. Do Not Track and browser signals

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals. Because there is no universal industry standard for responding to every signal, the website may not respond to all browser privacy signals in the same way.

You can still use browser cookie controls, privacy settings, ad settings or analytics opt-out tools where available to manage tracking and measurement preferences.

13. Cookies and personal data

Cookies may involve personal data if they can identify or relate to a device, browser, session or user. Cookie information may be combined with technical logs, support records or form interactions where necessary for security, service delivery, analytics or legal purposes.

Passport data, identity documents, travel documents and visa application information submitted by users are handled under our Privacy Policy. Cookies are not used as a substitute for secure visa application data handling.

14. Cookies and minors

The website is intended for use by adults or authorized representatives preparing visa or travel information. Visa applications for minors should be handled by a parent, guardian or authorized adult.

Cookies may still operate when a browser visits the website, but we do not knowingly use cookies to target children for advertising.

15. Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect legal, operational, technical or service changes. The updated version will be posted on this page with the updated date.

Continued use of the website after an updated Cookies Policy is posted means you acknowledge the updated policy. Where required, we may provide additional notice or request renewed consent.
