This Cookie Policy explains how NamMads uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at nammads.co.za. It explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

 

By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw or manage your consent at any time through your browser settings.

 

  1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

 

Cookies cannot access other files on your device or carry viruses. They simply store small pieces of information that help websites function and improve over time.

 

Two types of cookies by duration

Session cookies — temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

  1. Google Analytics in Detail

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. The data collected is anonymised and aggregated — it does not identify you as an individual.

 

The information generated by the Google Analytics cookie about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers which may be located outside South Africa. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

 

Opting out of Google Analytics

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

This add-on works with most major browsers and is free to install.

 

  1. Instagram Embedded Content

Our website may display content embedded from our Instagram account (@nammadstours). When you view a page containing embedded Instagram content, Meta Platforms Inc. may set cookies on your device and collect data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

 

We do not control the cookies set by Meta. If you have concerns about how Meta handles your data, we recommend reviewing their cookie policy at instagram.com/legal/cookies.
