Third-Party Cookies and Services
Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use to enhance functionality. These might include analytics tools, customer support widgets, or social media integration. Each third-party service has its own privacy policy governing how they use cookie data.
We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy standards. However, we recommend reviewing their individual policies if you want complete information about their data practices. Common third-party services include Google Analytics, customer chat systems, and content delivery networks.
Policy Updates and Changes
Technology evolves quickly, and so do privacy regulations. We review this cookie policy regularly and update it when necessary to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The last major update occurred in January 2025 to align with current South African privacy legislation.
When we make significant changes, we'll notify users through email or prominent website notices. Minor updates like clarifying existing language or adding new cookie categories typically happen without special notification.
