This policy explains how cookies are used on this website. It should be read with our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we process personal information in terms of the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

02 What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. They let a website remember information between pages or visits, such as whether you are signed in. Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies); others are set by services built into the page, such as a map (third-party cookies).

03 Cookies we use

In short: we use Google Analytics cookies only if you accept performance cookies in our cookie banner. Until you make a choice, or if you reject them, no analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are needed for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice. They cannot be switched off in our systems. Apart from c4h_consent, they are set only when one of our website administrators signs in to manage the site.

04 Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

If you click “Accept all cookies”, or switch on “Performance cookies” under “Cookie settings”, Google Analytics sets the cookies below. They help us count visits and see which pages are used, so we can improve the site. The information is collected in a form that does not identify you by name.

If you reject analytics cookies, or later withdraw your consent, these cookies are not set and any existing ones are removed. Google may still receive basic, cookieless signals that do not identify you. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

05 Third-party services

Some pages include content from other providers. These providers may set their own cookies or collect technical information, such as your IP address, under their own privacy policies. We do not control these cookies.

06 Advertising

We do not use advertising or social media tracking cookies on this website. If we introduce them, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent before any such cookies are set.

07 Managing cookies

You can view, block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. You can change your analytics choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. Blocking all cookies will not affect your use of this website as a visitor, although the map on the Contact Us page may not load. Help for the most common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Edge
• Mozilla Firefox

08 Your rights

Under POPIA you may ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and object to its processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below. Our Privacy Policy explains these rights in full.
