It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 ("POPIA").
By continuing to use the Website, or by actively consenting via our cookie consent banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy, except for strictly necessary cookies which do not require consent.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember user preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies may be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted. We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which are collectively referred to as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Our Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Under POPIA, cookies that involve the processing of personal information (such as an IP address, device identifier, or browsing behaviour linked to an identifiable individual) constitute the processing of personal information. We rely on the following legal bases:
- Strictly necessary cookies: processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website, and because these cookies are essential to provide the service you have requested.
- Analytics cookies: processed on the basis of your consent, obtained through our cookie consent banner before such cookies are activated.
- Marketing cookies: processed on the basis of your consent, obtained through our cookie consent banner before such cookies are activated.
You may withdraw your consent to analytics and marketing cookies at any time, as described in Section 6 below, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

We do not control the cookies set by these third parties, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie policies. Where such third parties process personal information on our behalf or as independent responsible parties, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate data protection safeguards are in place, consistent with our obligations under POPIA.
5. Cross-Border Transfer of Information
Certain analytics and marketing cookie providers may store or process information on servers located outside South Africa. Where this occurs, we take reasonable measures to ensure that such transfers comply with section 72 of POPIA, including verifying that the recipient jurisdiction has adequate data protection laws, or that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place with the recipient.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit the Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies by category. You may change your preferences at any time by:
- Accessing the cookie preference settings available via the link in the Website footer;

Please note that disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect the core functionality of the Website but may result in a less personalised browsing experience. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair or prevent proper functioning of the Website.
7. Retention of Cookie Data
We retain information collected through cookies only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by the specific cookie's duration set out in Section 3 above. Once the relevant retention period has expired, cookie data is automatically deleted or anonymised by the browser or the relevant service provider.
