This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy and forms part of it.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow the site to remember things like your login state or your cookie preferences. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage entries — wherever this policy says "cookie", treat it as including these.
2. Lawful basis
Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a working service (POPIA s.11(1)(f)). All other cookies — analytics and marketing — are placed only with your prior consent (POPIA s.11(1)(a)). Non-essential cookies are off by default, and you can change your choice at any time.
3. How to control cookies
You have three independent controls:
- Our consent banner. Click the button below to reopen it:
- Your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the site.
- Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a GPC signal we treat it as a withdrawal of consent for analytics and marketing.
4. Cookies we use
4.1 Strictly necessary (always on)
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
tp.consent.v1 | Stores your cookie preferences so we don't keep asking. | 12 months |
tp.session | Keeps you logged in during a browsing session. | Session |

If we add a different analytics provider in future we will update this table and ask for fresh consent where the new processing is not equivalent.
4.3 Marketing (consent required)
We do not currently use marketing cookies. If we add any, they will be listed here and only set after you have given consent through the banner.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we add or remove cookies. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision.
