TankSafe® uses cookies and similar technologies on our website to support website functionality, understand how visitors interact with the site and help us monitor and improve website performance.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how they may be used on the TankSafe® website, the technologies and service providers involved, and the choices available to website visitors.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Notice, which explains in more detail how TankSafe® collects, uses, stores and protects personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit it.

Cookies can help websites function correctly, remember information about a visitor’s interaction with the site and provide information about how the website is being used.

Some cookies remain on a device only while the browser is open, while others may remain for a longer period or until they are deleted.

Similar technologies may also be used for website measurement, functionality or performance. References to “cookies” in this policy include similar technologies where appropriate.

2. How TankSafe® Uses Cookies

The TankSafe® website may use cookies and related technologies for purposes including:

  • Supporting the operation, functionality and security of the website
  • Understanding how visitors find and use our website
  • Measuring website traffic and visitor interactions
  • Identifying which website pages are viewed and how visitors navigate the site
  • Monitoring website performance and usability
  • Helping us identify areas of the website that can be improved
  • Supporting analytics and website measurement services

We aim to use cookies and related technologies only where they serve a legitimate website, business, measurement or user-experience purpose.

3. Essential and Functional Cookies

Certain cookies or similar technologies may be required for the website to operate correctly or to provide functionality requested by a visitor.

These may support functions such as website security, form operation, session management or other technical features.

Because website technology can change over time, the specific essential or functional cookies used may also change as the website is updated.

4. Analytics and Performance Cookies

TankSafe® uses website analytics and measurement technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website.

These technologies can provide information such as pages viewed, website sessions, interactions with website content, browser information, device information and approximate geographic information.

This information helps TankSafe® understand website performance, identify usage trends and make improvements to the website and its content.

Where analytics information relates to an identifiable individual or otherwise constitutes personal information, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice and applicable data-protection requirements, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

5. Google Analytics 4

The TankSafe® website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to help us measure and understand website activity.

Google Analytics may use first-party cookies to distinguish website visitors and sessions. Depending on the configuration being used, these may include cookies such as:

_ga – commonly used to distinguish users.

_ga_<container-id> – commonly used to maintain information relating to a user’s session.

Google’s standard configuration provides for these cookies to have a default expiration period of up to two years, although cookie settings can be changed and actual duration may therefore vary.

Information collected through Google Analytics may include information about website sessions, pages viewed, interactions, browser and device characteristics and approximate geographic information.

Google Analytics uses cookies and other identifiers to measure website interactions.

6. Google Tag Manager

TankSafe® uses Google Tag Manager to manage website tags and tracking technologies.

Google Tag Manager allows website measurement and other tags to be configured and deployed through a central tag-management system.

Google Tag Manager should not necessarily be understood as a cookie itself. Whether cookies or other tracking technologies are used depends on the individual tags and services configured through the Tag Manager implementation.

For example, Google Analytics tags managed through Google Tag Manager may result in analytics cookies being used as described in this Cookie Policy.

7. Google Site Kit and Search Console

The TankSafe® website uses Google Site Kit as part of the website’s integration with Google services.

Site Kit assists with connecting and managing services used for website measurement and performance, including Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager and Google Search Console.

Google Search Console provides TankSafe® with information about the website’s visibility and performance in Google Search. It should not be interpreted as meaning that Search Console itself necessarily places tracking cookies on every website visitor.

The way Google processes information through its services is governed by Google’s own terms, privacy practices and applicable settings.

8. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

A first-party cookie is generally placed in connection with the website you are visiting.

A third-party cookie may be associated with an external service or technology used by a website.

TankSafe® may use third-party technology providers to assist with analytics, website operation, performance, hosting or other website functions. Where these providers use cookies or process information, their own privacy policies and terms may also apply.

TankSafe® does not control all cookies or technologies that may be placed or operated directly by independent third-party services.

Cookies can operate for different periods.

Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies may remain on your device after you close your browser and can remain until their configured expiry date or until you delete them.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose, the service that placed it and the configuration being used at the time.

Because TankSafe® may update its website and technology providers from time to time, cookie names and durations may change.

Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, block or delete cookies through the browser’s privacy or security settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to block all cookies, block certain types of cookies, delete existing cookies or configure your browser to notify you when a website attempts to place a cookie.

Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the way some website features operate.

Where a website mechanism is provided for managing cookie or tracking preferences, visitors may also use that mechanism to adjust their choices.

Google also provides mechanisms that allow users to limit or opt out of certain Google Analytics measurement activities.

Where consent is required under applicable law for a particular cookie, tracking technology or processing activity, TankSafe® will seek to handle that technology in accordance with the relevant legal requirements.

Your ability to withdraw or change a consent preference will depend on the technology concerned and the website controls available at the time.

Changing a cookie preference does not necessarily remove cookies that have already been stored on your device. Existing cookies can generally be removed through your browser settings.

12. Personal Information and Cookies

Some information collected through cookies or related technologies may constitute personal information, particularly where information can reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual.

TankSafe® processes personal information in accordance with applicable South African privacy legislation, including POPIA.

For more information about the personal information we collect, the reasons we process it, third parties with whom information may be shared, international processing, retention, security and your rights, please read our Privacy Notice.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

The TankSafe® website may contain links to, or make use of services provided by, third parties.

Third-party websites and services operate according to their own cookie practices, privacy notices and terms. TankSafe® does not control how an independent third party uses cookies after you leave the TankSafe® website or interact directly with that third party’s service.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy and cookie information provided by any third-party website or service they use.

TankSafe® may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technology, analytics services, business practices or applicable legal requirements.

When material changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page and the Last updated date will be revised.

We encourage visitors to review this Cookie Policy periodically.
