Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on chickenroad2.co.za, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They're widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and give site owners information about how their site is being used.

Cookies aren't the only tracking technology we use. We may also use web beacons, pixels, and local storage for similar purposes. This policy covers all of them.

Our Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under POPIA and general South African data protection principles, we need a lawful basis to process personal data. For cookies that are strictly necessary to run the site, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating a functional website. For all other cookies, we rely on your consent, which you give (or withhold) through our cookie consent tool when you first visit the site.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of this site.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function. They can't be switched off. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent choice, maintain basic site security, and enable core navigation. No personal data is shared with third parties through these cookies.

• Cookie consent preference storage
• Session management cookies
• Security and fraud-prevention cookies

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site. This helps us improve content and fix problems. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible.

• Google Analytics: tracks page views, session duration, traffic sources, and device type. Google may transfer data outside South Africa. You can opt out via Google's opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.

Functional Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as your preferred language or display settings. They make your experience more convenient but are not strictly necessary. They're only set with your consent.

Affiliate and Tracking Cookies

When you click an affiliate link to a third-party gambling operator, that operator may set their own cookies on your device to track the referral and attribute any commission. We do not control those cookies. They are governed by the operator's own cookie and privacy policies.

We may also use tracking pixels or parameters in our affiliate links to measure click-through rates and campaign performance. This data is used only in aggregate to assess which content is useful to our readers.

Advertising Cookies

We do not currently run targeted advertising on this site. If that changes, we'll update this policy and seek your consent before setting any advertising cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

Some content or functionality on this site is provided by third parties, and those third parties may set their own cookies. We have no direct control over third-party cookies. Third parties we currently use include:

• Google Analytics (analytics)
• Affiliate network tracking scripts (referral attribution)

You can find information about each provider's cookies in their own privacy and cookie policies.

How to Control Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

• Cookie consent tool: use the cookie settings link in the footer to update your preferences at any time
• Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser's help section for instructions. Note that blocking all cookies may break some site functionality.
• Google Analytics opt-out: install the browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Your Mobile Device: most smartphones have settings to limit ad tracking or reset advertising identifiers

Opting out of analytics or functional cookies won't stop you from using the site. It just means we'll have less information about how you use it.

Cookie Retention Periods

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as legal requirements evolve. The date at the top of this page shows the last revision. If we make significant changes, we'll prompt you to review your consent preferences again.
