Cookie Policy

Last updated January 13, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Jacq van Jaarsveld ("Company", "We", "Us", and "Our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://www.jacqvanjaarsveld.com/ ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Jacq van Jaarsveld) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies primarily for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate. We refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. We also use cookies to collect analytics data to improve our content.

3. The Specific Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as logging in or filling in forms.

Name: ghost-history
Type: HTML Local Storage
Purpose: Stores user membership status and session data to keep you logged in to your account.
Provider: www.jacqvanjaarsveld.com

Analytics Cookies: We use Ghost's native analytics to understand how our website is being used. This data is anonymized and does not track you across other websites.

4. Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs").

These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

5. How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your web browser.

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. Most browsers allow you to:

See what cookies you have and delete them on an individual basis.
Block third-party cookies.
Block cookies from particular sites.
Block all cookies from being set.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
