This Cookie Policy explains how People Bridge Recruitment (Pty) Ltd, trading as People Bridge Recruitment, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit www.peoplebridge.co.za.
It should be read together with our Privacy & POPIA Notice.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files or pieces of data that a website may place on a computer, mobile phone or other device when the website is visited.
Cookies may help a website operate securely, recognise a device, remember preferences, understand how the website is used, improve performance or provide particular functionality.
Some cookies exist only for the duration of a browsing session, while others may remain on a device for a specified period.
3. Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies: These support essential website functions such as security, page navigation, form submission and core technical operation. The website may not function properly without them.
Functional cookies: These may remember choices or settings and improve the functionality and convenience of the website.
Analytics and performance cookies: Where enabled, these help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are visited, how users navigate the site and whether technical issues occur.
Third-party and embedded-content cookies: These may be used by third-party services embedded in our website, such as maps, video, social-media features or other external functionality.
Marketing or advertising cookies: If used, these may assist with campaign measurement or the delivery of relevant advertising. Where consent is required, appropriate consent mechanisms will be used before optional marketing cookies are placed.
4. Cookies and personal information
Some information generated through cookies or similar technologies, such as an IP address, device identifier or information linked to an identifiable person, may constitute personal information under POPIA.
Where cookies process personal information, that information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy & POPIA Notice and applicable law.
We do not intentionally use cookies to collect special personal information through our website.
5. Essential and optional cookies
Strictly necessary cookies may be used where required for the operation, security or functionality of the website.
Where our website uses optional analytics, advertising or similar cookies and consent is legally required, we will provide an appropriate mechanism for users to make or change their choice before those optional cookies are used.
6. Managing cookies
Most internet browsers allow users to view, block or delete cookies through their browser settings. You can usually change these settings at any time.
Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect how the website operates. In particular, disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent some website functions from working correctly.
Where the website provides a cookie-preference or consent tool, that tool may also be used to manage optional cookies.
7. Third-party services
Some website functions may rely on third-party technology providers. Those providers may place or read cookies, or process technical information, in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
We encourage users to review the privacy information provided by relevant third parties where external services are used.
8. Retention
Cookie retention periods differ depending on the type and purpose of the cookie. Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier by the user.
Where personal information obtained through cookies is retained by us, it will be kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, subject to applicable legal requirements.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technology, third-party services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on our website.
