Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on chickenroad1.co.za, and how you can control them. Read this alongside our Privacy Policy for the full picture of how we handle your data.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site remember things about your visit, like your preferences or which pages you looked at. Some cookies are set by us directly; others are set by third-party services we use.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They are simply data files.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep the site working properly, to understand how visitors use it, and to track affiliate link performance. We don't use cookies to identify you personally or to serve you targeted advertising on other websites.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. They don't collect personal information and cannot be switched off. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent choice so we don't ask you every time you visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools, which may include Google Analytics, to collect anonymised data about how visitors use the site. This helps us understand which pages are popular, where visitors come from, and how long they stay. The data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
- Cookie name: _ga, _ga_XXXXXXXX (Google Analytics)
- Purpose: Distinguish unique users and track sessions
- Duration: Up to 2 years
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click an affiliate link to a third-party operator, that operator may set a tracking cookie on your device to record that you arrived via our site. This is how affiliate commissions are attributed. These cookies are set by the operator, not by us, and are governed by the operator's own cookie policy.
- Duration: Varies by operator, typically 30 to 90 days
- Purpose: Affiliate commission tracking
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as your cookie consent settings. They make your experience a bit smoother on return visits.
Cookies We Do Not Use
We do not use cookies for:
- Targeted or behavioural advertising
- Social media tracking (we don't embed social media widgets that set tracking cookies)
- Selling your data to data brokers
How to Control Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies.
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit the site, a cookie banner gives you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer.
Browser Settings
All major browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Here's where to find those settings in the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
- Safari (Mac): Preferences > Privacy
- Safari (iOS): Settings > Safari > Privacy and Security
Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site work. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be blocked without also preventing the site from functioning correctly.
Google Analytics Opt-Out
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA), you have the right to know what data is collected about you and to request its deletion. Cookie data we hold is covered by our Privacy Policy. To make a request, contact us at [email protected].
