This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on the Site, how these technologies affect your personal information, and how you can control them.
By accessing or using the Site, you accept the use of cookies as described in this policy.
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help the Site recognise your device, remember your preferences, and improve your experience. Cookies and similar technologies may also collect certain information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, how you interact with the Site, and whether you have visited the Site before.
We (and any third-party services embedded on our Site) use the following categories of cookies:
These cookies are required for the basic functioning of the Site. They enable core features such as navigating the Site, keeping you logged in (if applicable), remembering your cookie preferences, and ensuring the Site operates securely.
Examples may include:
Session cookies to keep you logged in.
Consent-preference cookies used by the cookie banner to remember your choices.
These cookies do not require your consent because they are essential to the Site’s operation.
These cookies allow the Site to remember your choices (e.g. language selection, cookie preferences) so that the Site provides a more tailored experience on subsequent visits. These may be set only after your consent where required.
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are most visited, error messages, time spent on pages — to help us improve performance and user experience. They may be provided by analytics services such as Google Analytics or similar tools and are set only after you consent.
Some content on the Site (e.g., embedded social media features, videos, analytics) may place cookies via third-party services. These cookies may track how you interact with that content. For example, embedded services from external platforms may set cookies when you interact with them.
You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the availability and functionality of certain parts of the Site. You can usually find instructions in the browser’s “Help” or “Settings” section.
Examples (additional links available from browser developers):
Chrome: Instructions in browser settings
Firefox & Safari: Privacy/Tracking preferences
(Note: Actual links vary by browser version.)
Where required, the cookie banner on the Site will allow you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You may change your preferences at any time if the cookie banner or consent tool provided on the Site allows you to modify your choices.
Cookies may be either:
Session cookies: temporary and deleted when you close your browser; or
Persistent cookies: stored on your device for a set period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year) before they expire.
Exact storage durations vary by cookie and by the service setting the cookie (e.g., analytics services).
Under POPIA, we only process personal information (including via cookies) where we have a lawful basis, such as:
Your consent (for non-essential cookies), or
Processing necessary for legitimate interests to operate and improve the Site.
Your consent to cookies is voluntary, except for essential cookies which do not require consent for the Site to function.
When you visit the Site, third-party services (such as analytics or social media plugins) may set cookies. We do not control these third-party cookies. You should check the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties for more details about how they use cookies.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, technology, or how we use cookies. We will post updated versions on this page with a revised “Effective Date.” It is recommended that you check this policy periodically.
