Strictly necessary cookies
Many people assume every cookie tracks them for advertising. On Tavarelith we use
cookies first to make the site function. These essential cookies help pages
load, remember that you are moving between sections, and keep forms stable while
you type. Without them, some features would not work properly. Because they are
necessary for the service you request, you cannot usually turn them off through
our tools, but you can still manage them through your browser settings if you
prefer, knowing that some parts of the site may behave unpredictably.
Preferences

Functional preference cookies
You might notice that we sometimes remember simple choices, like your preferred
language or whether you have dismissed a notice. We do this through preference
cookies. They store limited information so the site feels more consistent when
you return. These cookies are designed to reduce repeated clicks and make it
easier to focus on guidance about social assistance for pensioners rather than
on technical prompts. If you block them, the site still works, but you may need
to repeat the same selections each time you visit.
Analytics
03 / 06
Measurement and analytics cookies
To understand which pages help people most, we use analytics cookies that
collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors use the site. For
example, we may see how many people visit a guide, how long they stay, or which
links they click. We use this information to improve clarity, not to build
personal profiles or sell data. Where required, we ask for your consent before
placing these cookies. You can withdraw that consent at any time by adjusting
your browser settings or cookie controls, though this may reduce the detail of
our usage reports.
Third-party
04 / 06
Third party tools and cookies
Our focus is on neutral information about social assistance, not commercial
advertising. We therefore do not rely on targeted advertising cookies that
follow you across unrelated sites. If in future we embed third party tools, such
as maps or video players, those providers might place their own cookies. When
that happens, we aim to explain it clearly and, where possible, offer controls
or links to the relevant third party policies so you can understand their
practices before you interact with those features.
Managing your cookie choices
You stay in control of your browser. Most browsers let you see which cookies are
stored, delete them, or block new ones. You can usually set rules for different
sites, or choose to clear cookies when you close your browser. If you change
these settings, some features on Tavarelith may not behave as described, but the
core information about social assistance for pensioners remains available. For
more detail about how we handle personal information linked to cookies, please
read our privacy policy, which works together with this cookie policy.
Security
06 / 06
Security, logs and retention
Cookies are only one part of how we protect and process information. We also use
server logs and similar technologies to keep the site secure, for example by
detecting unusual traffic that might signal misuse. These logs may include
technical data such as IP addresses and timestamps, which we retain for limited
periods for security and diagnostic purposes. We treat this information in line
with our privacy commitments and applicable South African law, and we review our
technical measures regularly as we update the site for 2026 and beyond.
Questions about cookies
Most of us have clicked “accept” on a cookie banner without really knowing what
happens next. On this page we explain, in plain English, how Tavarelith uses cookies
and similar tools, what that means for pensioners, caregivers, and organisations
using our content, and which choices you have. We use cookies mainly to keep the
site working, remember basic preferences, and understand which pages people
visit so we can improve explanations over time. We do not use cookies to offer
individual legal, medical, or financial advice, and we do not use them to make
automated decisions about you. If you have questions about this cookie policy or
how it connects with our privacy practices, please contact us using the details
on our contact page.
