1.  About this Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Phomolong Memorial Parks (Pty) Ltd (“Phomolong”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our Website at phomolongparks.co.za. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2.  What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and improve the user experience.

Other similar technologies — including pixels, web beacons, local storage, and tags — perform comparable functions. References to “cookies” in this Policy include these similar technologies.

3.  Categories of cookies we use

Cookies are commonly grouped into four categories. We use the categories described below. The specific cookies actually deployed on our Website may change over time, and the current list is maintained in section 7 of this Policy.

3.1  Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential to enable you to navigate the Website and use its core features, such as submitting forms securely. The Website cannot function properly without them. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent.

3.2  Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay, and whether any error messages are encountered. The information collected is generally aggregated and is used to improve the Website’s performance.

3.3  Functionality cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

3.4  Marketing or targeting cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests, or to limit how many times you see an advertisement. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. We will only deploy marketing cookies once Phomolong is operational and only with your consent.

4.  First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by Phomolong directly. Third-party cookies are set by service providers we use — for example, analytics providers or content delivery networks. Where we use third-party cookies, we do so under contractual arrangements that require those providers to handle data securely and in accordance with applicable law.

5.  Your choices and how to manage cookies

When you first visit the Website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to:

• Accept all cookies
• Reject non-essential cookies
• Customise your preferences by category

You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the Website.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website. Browser-specific instructions are available on the respective browser provider’s support pages.

6.  Do Not Track signals

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no industry consensus on how such signals should be interpreted, our Website does not currently respond to them. We respect your cookie choices made through our cookie banner.

7.  Specific cookies in use on the Website

The list of specific cookies in use on the Website is maintained below and updated when the Website is changed. Each entry shows the cookie name, who sets it, its purpose, and its retention period.

8.  Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. The effective date at the top of this Policy will be updated when changes are made. Material changes will be brought to your attention through the Website.
