In and of themselves, cookies are harmless and serve crucial functions for websites. Cookies can also generally be easily viewed and deleted. However, cookies can store a wealth of data, enough to potentially identify you without your consent. Cookies are the primary tool that advertisers use to track your online activity so that they can target you with highly specific ads. Given the amount of data that cookies can contain, they can be considered personal data in certain circumstances and, therefore, subject to POPIA and the GDPR.

Google Analytics is an analytics service that provides aggregated and real-time insights into how our website is being found, navigated and used, and provides us with very useful information on how to optimise our website and make it more user-friendly.
