What cookies and similar technologies we use on this website, why, and how you can control them.
Last updated: 24 June 2026
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — such as your browser's local storage — work in much the same way. They help a site function, remember your choices, and measure how it is used. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Strictly necessary storage is always active because the site cannot work without it. Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and any analytics or marketing cookies load only after you consent through our cookie banner. You can accept all, reject non-essential, or choose per category — and change your mind at any time via the cookie settings link (also in the footer).
Required for the website to function and to remember your privacy choice. These do not require consent.

Some cookies are set by third parties whose own privacy terms apply, including Google and Meta. If you use a WhatsApp link, your message is sent through WhatsApp/Meta. Some of these providers process data outside South Africa, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
