3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

CarInsurers.co.za may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files or identifiers stored on, or accessed from, a user’s device. They can be used for essential website functionality, security, analytics, advertising and other purposes.

Although the website may not use cookies for every function, third-party services operating on the website may place or read cookies or use similar technologies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or availability of some website features.

4. Google AdSense and Advertising

CarInsurers.co.za may display advertisements supplied by Google AdSense and other advertising partners.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device information and other identifiers in connection with the delivery, measurement and optimisation of advertisements.

When Google serves an advertisement on a website, Google may use cookies or similar technologies to recognise a user’s browser or device. These technologies can be used for purposes including ad delivery, frequency capping, measurement, reporting and, where permitted, personalised advertising.

Depending on the user’s location, available consent choices and applicable privacy laws, advertisements may be:

Personalised advertisements: These may use information relating to a user’s previous activity, interests, demographics or interactions to help determine which advertisements may be relevant.

Non-personalised advertisements: These are generally based on contextual information such as the content of the page, the user’s current search or coarse geographical information rather than the user’s previous browsing behaviour.

Google states that even non-personalised advertising may involve cookies or similar identifiers for purposes such as frequency capping and aggregated advertising reporting where permitted by law.

CarInsurers.co.za does not have direct access to or control over cookies or other technologies placed or used by Google or other third-party advertising providers.

Google’s advertising and privacy practices may change from time to time. Users should consult Google’s current policies and controls for additional information about how Google processes information for advertising.

5. Advertising Consent and Privacy Choices

Where required by applicable law, advertising technologies may only be used after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google requires publishers using its advertising products to provide appropriate disclosures and obtain consent where legally required for the use of cookies or other local storage and for the collection, sharing and use of personal information for personalised advertising.

Where applicable, CarInsurers.co.za may use Google’s Privacy & Messaging tools or another appropriate consent management platform to present users with privacy and advertising choices.

Users may be offered options to consent to personalised advertising, reject or manage certain advertising purposes, or receive non-personalised advertising, depending on their location and the configuration of the advertising services.

For users in certain US states, applicable privacy laws may provide rights relating to targeted advertising, the sale or sharing of personal information and other forms of data processing. Google provides mechanisms, including privacy messages and recognised opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control, to assist publishers in responding to applicable requirements.

The availability of particular privacy choices may depend on the user’s location and the laws applicable to that user.

6. Third-Party Advertising Providers

In addition to Google, other advertising partners may potentially use cookies, web beacons, JavaScript, pixels or similar technologies to deliver, measure or personalise advertising.

These third parties may automatically receive technical information such as an IP address when advertising content is requested by a browser.

Websense does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party advertising companies. Their collection and use of information is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

Users should review the privacy policies of relevant third-party providers for further information about their practices and available privacy controls.

7. Google Privacy Controls

Google provides users with tools that allow them to review and manage certain advertising and privacy preferences, including controls relating to personalised advertising.

Users can manage relevant Google advertising preferences through Google’s My Ad Center and other Google privacy controls.

Information about Google’s use of data on publisher websites is also available through Google’s published privacy and advertising documentation.

9. Third-Party Websites

CarInsurers.co.za may contain links to third-party websites, services or resources.

Once you leave CarInsurers.co.za, the privacy practices of the third-party website will apply. Websense is not responsible for the privacy policies, security, content or practices of websites operated by third parties.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before submitting personal information.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information submitted to us against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore understand that transmission of information over the internet is undertaken at your own risk.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate records, to resolve disputes, to enforce agreements, to comply with legal obligations or for other legitimate business purposes.

The appropriate retention period may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

12. Protection of Personal Information

Websense Internet Solutions seeks to process personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable South African privacy and data protection requirements, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA) where applicable.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any rights that you may have under applicable privacy or data protection legislation.

Where applicable, individuals may have rights relating to their personal information, including rights to request access to personal information, request correction of inaccurate information and raise concerns regarding the processing of their information.

Requests concerning personal information should be directed to our Privacy Officer using the contact details provided at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

13. Children’s Privacy

CarInsurers.co.za is not specifically directed at children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact our Privacy Officer so that the matter can be investigated and appropriate action taken.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, the services we use, applicable legislation, advertising technology or our privacy practices.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date.

We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

15. AI-Assisted Content Disclaimer

Some of the informational content published on CarInsurers.co.za may be created with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

AI may be used to assist with research, drafting, summarising, structuring or developing website content. Where reasonably possible, AI-assisted content is reviewed manually before publication for accuracy, relevance, clarity and suitability.

However, manual review cannot guarantee that every statement, statistic, quotation, interpretation or other piece of information is completely accurate, current or free from error.

Information published on CarInsurers.co.za should therefore be regarded as general informational content and should not automatically be relied upon as professional, legal, financial, insurance, underwriting or other specialist advice.

Where a decision involves insurance, financial or other significant consequences, readers should independently verify relevant information and obtain appropriate advice from a suitably qualified professional or the relevant insurer or service provider.

16. General Disclaimer

CarInsurers.co.za is intended to provide general information relating to vehicles, car insurance, insurers, insurance products and related subjects.

Information presented on the website may change over time and may not reflect the latest terms, premiums, underwriting criteria, policy wording or eligibility requirements of individual insurance companies.

References to insurers, insurance products, premiums, features or services do not necessarily constitute an endorsement or recommendation by Websense Internet Solutions.

Insurance products and terms are determined by the relevant insurer or insurance provider. Visitors should obtain and review the applicable policy documentation and terms directly from the relevant provider before making a purchasing or financial decision.

CarInsurers.co.za should not be regarded as a substitute for professional insurance or financial advice.
