Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and assist with service or advertising personalization.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, SarsTax.co.za) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., interactive content, analytics, and advertising).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for analytics, and potentially advertising.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Website Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you. We use tools like Google Analytics to track page views and interactions, which helps us improve our tax guides and tools.

Advertising Cookies (If Applicable)

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

4. How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your web browser. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
