What are cookies?

Cookies are commonly used on websites and are small text files that are sent to your device (computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet) by the website you visit. Cookies are stored on your device’s hard drive in your browser’s file directory. Your browser sends these cookies back to the website each time you revisit it so it can recognise your device, remember your preferences, record what you have put in your shopping basket, and improve your overall user experience.

Simply put, cookies provide a way for the website to recognize you and keep track of your preferences.

Please note that certain functions of our website may no longer work or work not correctly without cookies.

Cookie Consent

If you visit our websites for the first time, you will see our Cookie Banner asking you to consent to the use of certain cookies and, when you click on ‘Cookies Settings’, you will be directed to our Privacy Preference Centre.  Using this tool will set a cookie on your device to remember your preferences.

As most of the online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. First-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function the right way, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.

The third-party cookies used on our website are mainly for understanding how the website performs, how you interact with our website, keeping our services secure, providing advertisements that are relevant to you, and all in all providing you with a better and improved user experience and help speed up your future interactions with our website.

Categories of Cookies

Depending on their function and their intended purpose, cookies can be assigned to the following categories: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies and targeting cookies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required to navigate our websites and operate basic website functions. Examples of strictly necessary cookies are login cookies (which enable you to login into secure areas of our website), shopping cart or e-billing cookies or cookies to remember your cookie settings. Without these cookies, certain basic functionalities cannot be offered. Strictly necessary cookies are always active and will be placed without your consent.

To the extent that information processed in connection with strictly necessary cookies should qualify as personal data, the legal ground for that processing is our legitimate interest to operate the website (Art. 6 (1) lit. (f) GDPR and/or section 11(1)(f) of the POPIA).

Performance Cookies or Analytics Cookies

Performance cookies or analytics cookies collect information on your usage of our websites. They identify a variety of metrics, for example, your internet browser, operating system, duration and number of page visits, errors you experienced.  The information collected is aggregated and anonymous.  It does not allow personal identification; it only serves the purpose of evaluating and enhancing the user experience of our websites.  This helps us to improve the way our websites work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

To the extent that information processed in connection with performance cookies should qualify as personal data, the legal basis for that processing is your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. (a) GDPR and/or section 11(1)(a) of the POPIA).

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable a website to store information and options you have already previously entered (e.g. username, layout settings, contact us form) in order to offer you improved personalized functions and remember your preferences (e.g. your choice of language or region).  They are also used to enable requested functions, like Live Chat and playing videos.

To the extent that information processed in connection with functional cookies should qualify as personal data, the legal basis for that processing is your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. (a) GDPR and/or section 11(1)(a) of the POPIA).

Targeting Cookies

Targeting cookies (cookies used for marketing purposes) record your visit to our websites, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed.  They are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign, and to make the advertising displayed more relevant to your interests.  They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers e.g. Google.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in connection with targeting cookies (if any) is your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. (a) GDPR and/or section 11(1)(a) of the POPIA).
