We use these cookies to personalise content and advertisements, to optimize what services we can offer you, to offer you social media functions and to measure and analyse our Website traffic. You can easily turn off cookies in your browser. This can potentially mean that our Website and/or app may cease (fully or partially) functioning properly. We use the following cookies:

 

Functional cookies

Cookies that enhance the Website’s performance, such as cookies that recognise you at your next visit so that brochures that you have already viewed will appear differently, or so that you won’t have to log on again. Only https://www.cataloguespecials.co.za has access to these cookies and any gathered information.

 

Analytical cookies

These are cookies that are placed by us or by third parties to measure the quality and use of the Website and the App. These cookies are mostly used to improve the user friendliness of our Website and to see where we obtained our users (email, Facebook, Google). For example, a Google cookie is placed via our Website, as part of the  “Google Analytics”-service. Google can supply this information to third parties in the event that Google is legally committed to do so, or when third parties process the information in the name of Google. Cataloguespecials.co.za has given Google permission to use the gathered analytics information for other Google services, but we have turned off the ability to send on complete IP addresses to Google via Google Analytics. The information is transferred to servers in the United States where it is saved by Google. We have a processing agreement with Google about the treatment of personal details. We also work with Firebase for mobile analyses and similar software suppliers in order to obtain statistics.

Any details obtained through these analytical cookies can be shared by Cataloguespecials.co.za with third parties.

 

Other third-party cookies

Other third parties, such as advertising networks, can place cookies too. These third parties only have access to the information that these cookies obtain. Advertising networks generally leave so-called “tracking cookies” on your device. Tracking cookies enable advertisers to follow your surfing habits, so that they an show relevant advertisements on the Websites that you visit. Cataloguespecials.co.za can also place tracking cookies, that are put to use when you surf third party Websites where ads can then be placed through advertising networks.

A profile can consist of the catalogues that you view and which content you click or the location where you use the app, so that we get an overview of your possible interests. Good to know: the profiles that are being used like this usually refer to a group of users rather than to individual people. Cataloguespecials.co.za can share profiles with third parties or use them to benefit campaigns for online advertisers. Advertisers can also create, supply or enrich profiles themselves, with the aggregated profiles that they obtain from Cataloguespecials.co.za or that they gather via de Websites or Apps of Cataloguespecials.co.za themselves, using their own cookies.
