COOKIE POLICY

Last updated February 21, 2023


This Cookie Policy explains how DelTam uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://www.deltam.co.za . It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.


In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.


"First-party cookies" are those placed by the website's owner DelTam. "Third-party cookies" are cookies placed by organizations other than the owner of the visited website. Third-party cookies make it possible for third parties to deliver services or functionality on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). These third-party cookie-setting parties have the ability to identify your computer both when it visits the targeted website and when it visits specific other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We utilize first-party and third-party cookies for a variety of purposes. We refer to some cookies as "important" or "strictly necessary" cookies since they are vital for our website to function technically. In order to improve the user experience on our Internet Properties, we can track and target the interests of our users using additional cookies. Through our website, third parties provide cookies for advertising, analytics, and other uses. Further information on this is provided below.

How can I control cookies?

You are free to accept or reject cookies as you see fit. By modifying your options in the Cookie Consent Manager, you can exercise your cookie rights. You can choose which categories of cookies you accept or reject using the Cookie Consent Manager. Since they are completely necessary to provide you with services, essential cookies cannot be denied.


The cookie consent manager can be found in the display banner and on our website. If you choose to decline cookies, you can still use our website, although access to certain features and areas of our website may be restricted. You can also set or change your web browser controls to accept or reject cookies. The first and third types of cookies used by our website and the purpose they serve are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies may vary depending on the internet resource you visit):

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?


Cookies are not the only way to identify or track visitors to a website. We may use, from time to time, other similar technologies, such as web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are small graphic files with special features that allow us to recognize when someone visits our website or opens an email that includes them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the user's traffic patterns from one page of the website to another, to transfer or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you arrived at the website through advertising online displayed on other websites, improve site performance and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so rejecting cookies will impair their functionality.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?


We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.


The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
