Last revised September 23, 2025 Introduction

Use of cookies, plugins and other tracking technologies on our website.

1. Introduction

Tracking technologies, such as cookies, tags, pixels, fingerprinting, web beacons, and similar scripts, are used to store and/or share information about website visitors, their systems, and browsers. Information collected by cookies and other tracking technologies varies depending on each website's components and can be of a personal nature (information that directly or indirectly identifies you) and of non-personal nature (information that does not directly or indirectly identify any single individual, such as cookies used to enable language settings on a website). Information of a personal nature may include details about the device you are using, the browser you are using, your IP address, the previous website you visited, whether you clicked on one of our ads, and your browsing behavior. 
For further information on how we handle personal information please see our Privacy Policy.

2. What types of cookies do we use?

With regards to the retention period, a distinction is drawn between temporary cookies (also known as "session cookies"), which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which remain stored even after the terminal device is closed. With regards to their function, cookies are again differentiated between:

» Functional cookies: With these cookies, the website is able to provide advanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third parties whose services we use on our websites. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

» Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled in your systems. Generally, these cookies are set only in response to actions you take that correspond to a service request, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. You can set your browser to block these cookies or to notify you about these cookies. However, some areas of the website will not function if you do so. These cookies do not store any personal data.

» Marketing cookies: These cookies may be set by our advertising partners through our website. They may be used by these companies to profile your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites. They do not directly store personal information, but are based on a unique identification of your browser and Internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

» Performance cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us answer questions about which pages are the most popular, which are the least used, and how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to know when you visited our website.

3. Legal basis for data processing

We use cookies in accordance with the South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). . Therefore, we obtain prior consent from users, except when it is not required by law. Any use of cookies that is not strictly necessary for the use of this website and its services is only permitted with your express and active consent.. This applies in particular to the use of cookies for marketing purposes and functional cookies.
