Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 24 October 2025
- What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by a website when you visit it. Cookies are used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information to the website owners.
- How We Use Cookies
This website, POPIAct-Compliance, uses cookies to understand how you interact with our content, to improve your experience, and to ensure our site functions securely.
We group our cookies into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function. They are set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences or ensuring our site is secure. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent.
- Performance & Analytical Cookies: These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
- Third-Party / Marketing Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our external partners, such as YouTube. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites.
- Cookies We Use
Category | Cookie Provider | Purpose |
Strictly Necessary | Lockstep (Pty) Ltd | Used for core website functions like security and managing your cookie consent choice. |
Performance & Analytical | Google Analytics | We use this to collect anonymous, aggregated data about our visitors (e.g., country of origin, pages visited, time on site). This helps us understand how our site is being used and how to improve it. |
Third-Party / Marketing | YouTube | We embed videos from our official YouTube channel. By default, we use YouTube’s “privacy-enhanced mode.” This means YouTube will not set cookies on your device just by you visiting our page. Cookies will only be set if you actively click to play the video. Once played, YouTube may set its own cookies for analytics and advertising purposes, which are outside of our control. |
- Your Consent
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies are active by default and cannot be turned off, as the site cannot function without them.
- Performance & Analytical and Third-Party / Marketing cookies are turned OFF by default. They will only be activated if you explicitly click “Accept All” or if you go into our cookie settings and turn them on individually.
- If you click “Decline All” (or “Accept Necessary Only”), we will only use Strictly Necessary cookies.
- How to Manage and Withdraw Your Consent
You can change your mind and withdraw your consent at any time.
To do this, simply click the “Manage Cookie Preferences” link located in the footer of our website. This will bring up the consent banner again, allowing you to adjust your preferences.
You can also control and/or delete cookies as you wish by changing your browser settings. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.
