Privacy & data

How this site uses cookies.

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on www.minetrans.co.za, what each one is for, and how you control them. It is written to meet the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

Who is responsible

MineTrans Insurance Brokers is a division of Donaldson Advisory Group, an authorised financial services provider, FSP No. 53166. Donaldson Advisory Group is the responsible party for personal information processed through this site, and its Information Officer is registered with the Information Regulator of South Africa.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small file a site stores in your browser. This site also uses your browser's local storage, which works in much the same way. Both are covered by this policy and referred to here as cookies.

Your choice

Nothing beyond what is strictly necessary is set until you choose. When you first arrive, a banner asks for your consent, with accepting and refusing offered equally. Your choice is recorded and applied on every page after that.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time, without giving a reason and without any effect on the service you receive:

Withdrawing consent does not undo processing that already took place while consent was in force. Clearing your browser's site data also erases your recorded choice, so the banner will ask again.

Strictly necessary

These make the site work and cannot be switched off. They set no advertising identifiers and are not used to profile you.

Analytics and marketing

Set only with your consent. Tags are delivered through Google Tag Manager (container GTM-MZTBRWHT). Until you consent, Google Consent Mode holds these tags and advertising identifiers are redacted from any request.

Depending on the tags configured in the container, consenting to analytics may set Google Analytics cookies such as _ga and _ga_<id>, which measure which pages are read and how visitors arrive. Consenting to marketing may set Google advertising cookies such as _gcl_au, which measure whether an advert led to an enquiry and allow relevant campaigns to be shown elsewhere. These are third-party cookies set by Google, and Google may process the data outside South Africa.

Your rights under POPIA

As a data subject you have the right to:

  • ask what personal information we hold about you, and receive a copy;
  • ask us to correct or delete information that is inaccurate, irrelevant, excessive, out of date, incomplete, misleading or obtained unlawfully;
  • object to processing on reasonable grounds;
  • withdraw consent at any time, using the button above;
  • complain to the Information Regulator; and
  • not have decisions about you made solely by automated means.

Exercising any of these rights is free and will not affect the service you receive.

If the cookies used here change, this page is updated and, where the change is material, the consent banner is shown again so you can make a fresh choice.
