Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how IRMADU Yorkies uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website yorkie.co.za. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

This Cookie Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal information more broadly.

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit the site or move from one page to another.

Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide reporting and personalisation information. Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain viruses or malware.

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

Essential cookies: these are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Analytics cookies: we use Google Tag Manager (GTM-P8ZJ3KGS) and Google Analytics (G-830W1M66SJ) to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors found our site, and how they move through the site. The information is aggregated and anonymous.

Functional cookies: these remember choices you make (such as your theme preference or favourites) to provide a more personalised experience.

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies. We do not use cookies to show you targeted advertisements or to share your data with advertising networks.

We use the following third-party services that may set cookies on your device:

Google Analytics: set by Google to collect anonymous usage data. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Tag Manager: used to manage analytics tags. Does not collect personal data itself but facilitates the deployment of Google Analytics.

reCAPTCHA: set by Google to protect our forms from spam and automated submissions. Google's reCAPTCHA privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the respective privacy policies of these providers.

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies or decline non-essential cookies. Your preference is stored in a functional cookie so we remember your choice on future visits.

Essential cookies are set automatically and cannot be declined, as they are required for the website to function.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the consent banner.

Cookie retention periods vary depending on the type of cookie:

Session cookies: deleted from your device when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies: remain on your device until they expire or you manually delete them. Google Analytics cookies typically expire after 2 years, although this may vary.

Cookie consent preference: stored for 12 months so we remember your choice.

Favourites and theme preferences: stored for 12 months.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to:

View the cookies that have been set on your device.

Accept or block all cookies, or accept cookies only from specific websites.

Delete all cookies when you close your browser.

Block third-party cookies.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website. For example, you may not be able to save favourites or your cookie consent preference.

Some browsers offer a 'Do Not Track' (DNT) signal. We currently do not respond to DNT signals because there is no industry consensus on how to interpret them. However, you can manage your cookie preferences through our consent banner or your browser settings as described above.
