1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage, work in comparable ways, and we refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to keep our website secure and functioning, to remember your preferences, and, where you allow it, to understand how visitors use our site so that we can improve it. We aim to keep our use of cookies to the minimum needed for these purposes.
3. Types of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas and form submission. The website cannot work properly without them, so they do not require your consent.
3.2 Preference cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your region or display preferences, to give you a more consistent experience.
3.3 Analytics cookies
Where enabled, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, for example which pages are most visited and how people arrive at our site. This information is used in aggregate to improve the site. Analytics cookies are only set where you have consented, where consent is required.
3.4 Third-party cookies
Some pages may include content or links from third parties, such as embedded maps or social media. These third parties may set their own cookies, which are governed by their own policies. We do not control these cookies.
4. Consent
Where the law requires your consent for non-essential cookies, we will ask for it, and you may accept or decline. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the website cannot operate without them. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by adjusting your browser settings as described below.
5. How to manage cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, manage, block and delete cookies. You can usually find these controls in the settings or preferences menu of your browser, under a heading such as "Privacy" or "Cookies". You can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, or to reject them. Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of our website may not work as intended.
- Look for the "Privacy", "Security" or "Site settings" section of your browser.
- Choose whether to allow, block or clear cookies, and set exceptions for specific sites.
- Use your browser's help function if you need step by step guidance for your particular browser and device.
6. Relationship to our Privacy Notice
Cookies may involve the collection of personal information. For details of how we handle personal information, including your rights under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA), please read our Privacy Notice.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. The current version will always be available on this page, with the date it was last updated shown at the top.
