About this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Sterdts (Pty) Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on its website.
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser or device. Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others are optional and help us improve performance, understand usage and support marketing.
For how we process personal information in general, please see our Privacy Policy (POPIA Notice).

Some cookies are set directly by Sterdts (first-party cookies). Others may be set by third-party services we use (third-party cookies).
2. Categories of cookies we use
2.1 Session & Security (essential)
Purpose
These cookies help authenticate users, protect user data and allow the website to deliver the services you expect (for example maintaining the contents of a cart or allowing file uploads). Without them, the site may not function properly.
Examples

If you reject or remove these cookies, the website may not work correctly.
2.2 Preferences (essential)
Purpose
These cookies remember information about your preferred look or behaviour of the website, such as your preferred language or region.
Examples

If you reject or remove these cookies, your experience may be degraded, but the website should still work.

2.5 Analytics (optional)
Purpose
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors engage with our website so that we can improve it over time. For example, they may track which pages are visited, how long users stay on a page and how they navigate the site. We may use Google Analytics or similar tools for this purpose.
Examples

Blocking essential cookies
If you block cookies that are essential for the website to function, some core functions may not work correctly or the site may not be accessible.
Optional cookies
You can choose to block or delete optional (analytics/marketing) cookies without affecting basic site operation.
At present, our website does not respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals in a standardized way, because no common industry standard has been adopted.
