General information about cookies

Cookies are small text files that are used by many websites in South Africa and internationally.

Conversion tracking

Tools provided by third parties are used on this website for analysis purposes. These tools measure how effective advertisements are at addressing the user (aka “conversion tracking”).

When the CUSTOMER clicks on an advertisement of one of the third-party providers listed below, a cookie for conversion tracking is deposited on the CUSTOMER’S computer. If the CUSTOMER visits a certain Internet site, the third-party provider and the COMPANY can recognize that the CUSTOMER clicked on the ad and were redirected to that specific site. This makes it possible for the COMPANY to collect data that is important for its advertising activities. Where applicable, it informs the COMPANY of the total number of users that clicked on an advertisement, the length of their stay, their operating system, device model, location, payment transactions made and which mobile app functions have been used. However, it does not provide the COMPANY with any personal information regarding the user's identity.

If the CUSTOMER does not wish to participate in this form of conversion tracking, it can decline to have the necessary cookie placed on its system by setting its browser to generally deactivate the automatic placement of cookies. By way of example, the CUSTOMER can use its Internet browser's “do not track” (DNT) option.

Google Adwords Remarketing Pixel

Using the Google Inc. (“Google”) Remarketing or “Similar target groups” function allows the COMPANY to direct targeted advertisements to visitors of the website by offering interest-based advertisements that have been personalized for visitors of the COMPANY’S site when they visit other sites in the Google Display network. Google uses so-called “cookies” to analyze usage of the website, which is the basis for interest-based advertising. To do so, Google saves a small file with a numeric sequence in the browser of the website's visitors. This number is used to record the number of visits to the website and anonymous data about the website's use. No personal data of the website's visitors is recorded.

If the CUSTOMER visits another website in the Google Display network after being at the COMPANY’S site, it will be shown advertisements that very likely take into account product and information sites that have been called up in the past. The CUSTOMER can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by clicking on the following link and then downloading and installing the plug-in that the CUSTOMER finds there: www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin/. Alternatively, the CUSTOMER can deactivate the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the deactivation site of the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and following the opt-out instructions there.

Additional information about Google Remarketing and Google's data privacy policy is available here: www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows the COMPANY to manage various website tags from a user interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not record any personal data. The tool triggers other tags that record data in some circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation was made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Quantcast Remarketing Pixel

Quantcast provides the COMPANY with a service for audience measurement and for advertising purposes. Using Quantcast Remarketing allows the COMPANY to address those who visit the COMPANY’S website in a targeted manner.
