Cookie & privacy policy

How this website uses cookies

This policy explains how NextGen Plants uses cookies on this website and how your preferences are managed, in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit. Cookies contain no executable code and cannot transmit viruses or malware.

Legal basis under POPIA

POPIA governs the collection and processing of personal information in South Africa. Under Section 11, processing is only lawful if it meets one of the prescribed conditions.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. Their use is justified under Section 11(1)(f) — the legitimate interest of operating a functional, secure website that you have explicitly chosen to visit. This category cannot be disabled, because without these cookies the site cannot operate.

Optional cookies (analytics and marketing) are only placed on your device with your explicit consent under Section 11(1)(a) of POPIA. You may withdraw that consent at any time.

Cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Always active

Essential for the website to function. These cannot be disabled, do not require your consent, and do not store personally identifiable information.

  • Cookie consent preference — stores your consent choices in your browser's local storage so the notice does not reappear on every page.
  • Contact form protection — records that you have seen the contact-form notice, and helps guard the form against automated submissions.

Analytics

Requires consent

Help us understand how visitors interact with the site. Data is aggregated and anonymised, and is only collected if you have given consent.

Marketing

Requires consent

Used to deliver relevant advertising and measure campaign effectiveness. Only placed if you have given consent.

Information you send us

When you complete the contact form, the details you enter are encrypted in your browser before being transmitted to us, and are used solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not sell your information or pass it to third parties for marketing.

Your rights under POPIA

As a data subject under POPIA you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate, irrelevant or incomplete information.
  • Object to processing on reasonable grounds.
  • Withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time.
  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa at inforegulator.org.za.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

Managing your preferences

You may update your cookie preferences at any time. Withdrawing consent for optional cookies stops new data collection immediately; it does not delete data already collected before withdrawal.

You can also clear cookies via your browser settings. Doing so resets your stored preference, and the cookie notice will reappear on your next visit.
