Cookie Policy

Last updated: 16 April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how EarnSouthAfrica uses cookies and similar technologies on earnsouthafrica.co.za (the “Site”), what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to remember your actions and preferences, understand how the site is used, and deliver relevant advertising. Similar technologies (such as local storage, web beacons, and pixels) work in broadly the same way.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

These cookies are required for the Site to function, such as remembering your theme preference (light or dark) and keeping forms working. You cannot opt out of these because the Site would not work without them.

Analytics

If enabled, Google Analytics (or a similar provider) helps us understand which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where traffic comes from. The data is aggregated and does not identify you individually.

Advertising

Google AdSense and its advertising partners set cookies to serve ads and, where applicable, personalise them based on your interests. These may include ad-performance cookies, fraud prevention cookies, and frequency-capping cookies.

3. Third parties that may set cookies

4. How long do cookies last?

  • Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Advertising cookies typically persist for up to 13 months.

5. Your choices

You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Opt out of personalised Google ads at google.com/settings/ads.
  • Opt out of third-party advertising cookies at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com.
  • Block or delete cookies in your browser. All major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) let you block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or open the site in private/incognito mode. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the Site.
  • Enable “Do Not Track” in your browser. We respect DNT signals where technically feasible, although many third-party ad networks do not.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the Site evolves or as legal requirements change. The “last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
