Cookie Policy
Effective Date: February 18, 2026
This Cookie Policy clarifies what digital cookies and tracking technologies are initiated on the Jacket Salad platform, how we use them, and what controls you have. This matches our alignment with South African POPIA data regulations and Google Consent Mode v2 standards.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small micro-text strings distributed directly into your device via your web browser to retain basic configuration choices. Our platform uses cookies to maintain optimal styling options, coordinate contact form requests, and secure our network.
2. Standard Consent & Google Consent Mode v2
This site operates an advanced consent engine. Prior to user action, all tracking scripts are blocked. Performance, marketing, and analytical scripts transition to ‘granted’ status exclusively after explicit customer activation. You can change your preferences at any time by selecting the “Cookie Settings” link in our footers.
