5.1 What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves on your device when you visit. They let the site remember things like your login, your cookie choices or what's in your cart. Similar tools, such as pixels and local storage, work in much the same way, and this policy covers them too. Cookies that collect information that identifies you are personal information, so our Privacy Policy (section 4) applies to them as well.
5.2 Your choice
When you first visit, a banner asks which cookies you're happy for us to use. Essential cookies are always on because the site can't work without them. Everything else (analytics, functional and marketing cookies) stays off until you say yes. You can change your mind at any time by clicking Cookie settings in the footer.
5.3 The cookies we use
Essential cookies (always on). These are set by Wix, which hosts our site, and keep it secure and working.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| XSRF-TOKEN | Security: protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Session |
| hs | Security | Session |
| svSession | Identifies unique visitors and tracks a visitor's session on the site | 2 years |
| SSR-caching | Shows how the page was rendered so it loads quickly | Session |
| _wixCIDX | System monitoring and fixing errors | 3 months |
| _wix_browser_sess | System monitoring and fixing errors | Session |
| consent-policy | Stores your cookie banner choices | 12 months |

| server-session-bind | Security | Session |
| client-session-bind | Security | Session |
Payment cookies (essential when you check out). Peach Payments may set cookies on its secure payment page to process your card payment, prevent fraud and run 3-D Secure checks. These are governed by Peach Payments' own cookie and privacy notices.
Functional cookies (optional). These remember your preferences, such as language or currency, and let us show embedded content like YouTube or Vimeo videos and maps. Embedded services may set their own cookies when you play content.
Analytics cookies (optional). With your consent, we use Wix Analytics and Google Analytics 4 to understand how people find and use the site, such as which pages are popular and where visitors drop off. We use this in aggregate to make the site better. Google Analytics cookies (such as _ga and _ga_<ID>) last up to 2 years. We've turned on IP anonymisation where the tool allows it.
Marketing cookies (optional). If we run advertising for AFSI 2027 on platforms such as LinkedIn or Meta, their pixels may set cookies to measure whether our ads work and to show AFSI ads to people who've visited the site. We only load these if you accept marketing cookies.
5.4 Managing cookies in your browser
As well as the banner, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Each browser explains how in its help pages (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and others). If you block essential cookies, parts of the site, including checkout and the delegate area, may not work.
5.5 Changes
We'll update this policy when we add or remove cookies, and ask for your consent again if we add a new type of optional cookie.
