This Cookie Policy explains how TechOnEdge ("we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at www.techonedge.co.za ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. 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.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We keep this to a minimum. Our Website needs a small amount of information stored in your browser to remember your choices, and the contact form uses a security check to keep out spam. Beyond that, we only use analytics cookies, and only if you agree to them. We don't run ads on our Website or use advertising cookies. The details are below.
3. What Types of Cookies Do We Use?
- Your preferences (essential): Your browser's local storage remembers your cookie choice and, if you change it, your light or dark theme. This stays in your browser, isn't sent to us, and isn't used to track you.
- Security (essential): When you use our contact form, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that the message comes from a person and not a bot. Cloudflare may set its own cookies or similar data to do this.
- Analytics (only with your permission): If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics sets cookies that help us understand, in aggregate, how people use our Website so we can improve it. If you reject them, or later withdraw your permission, Google Analytics doesn't load and we remove its cookies.
4. How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject analytics cookies; Google Analytics only loads after you accept. You can change your choice at any time using "Cookie settings" in the footer of every page. You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
Rejecting analytics cookies doesn't affect how our Website works. Blocking all cookies in your browser may stop the contact form's security check from working; if that happens, you can still reach us by email or WhatsApp.
5. Changes to 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 re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
6. Where Can You Get Further Information?
