Cookies Policy

Welcome to Savory South Africa's Cookies Policy. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, Savory South Africa. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

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 to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Savory South Africa) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why We Use Cookies

We use first and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online properties. Finally, third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described in more detail below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific online properties you visit):

• Essential Website Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
• Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
• Analytics and Customization Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you in order to enhance your experience.
• Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. We use session cookies to track your movements within our site and to remember the items you have placed in your shopping cart (if applicable).
2. Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. We use persistent cookies to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
3. First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by our website. We use first-party cookies to ensure the proper functioning of our website and to provide you with a seamless browsing experience.
4. Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by third-party services that we use, such as Google Analytics and advertising partners. We use third-party cookies to analyze website traffic, personalize content, and deliver targeted advertising.

How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by adjusting the settings in your web browser. As the means by which you may refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

You can also configure your browser to accept all cookies or to notify you every time a cookie is offered so that you can individually accept or refuse cookies. However, please note that if you choose to disable cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly or be accessible. For example, you may not be able to log in or make purchases.

Most advertising networks also offer you to opt-out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns.

In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and therefore declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Updates to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies 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 re-visit this Cookies Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

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