Cookies Policy
Last updated: 2 April 2026
This cookies policy explains what cookies are, how Cloud On Demand uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.cloudondemand.co.za, and how you can manage your choices.
For information about how we process personal information more broadly, please read our privacy policy: https://www.cloudondemand.co.za/privacy-policy/
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded to your device when you visit a website. It allows the website to recognise your device and store information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies are stored by your browser and can usually be viewed or deleted using your browser settings.
Cookies can be set by:
– First party services, which are set by our website domain.
– Third party services, which are set by other domains when we use embedded tools such as security services or analytics scripts.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
– Help the website work properly and securely, including protection against malicious traffic and spam.
– Remember your choices, such as your cookie consent preferences.
– Understand how visitors use the website so we can improve performance and content, where you have allowed statistics cookies.
What information cookies and similar technologies may collect
Depending on the cookie category and your choices, cookies and similar technologies may collect or store information such as:
– Technical identifiers and device information (for example, cookie IDs, device identifiers, operating system, browser type and language settings).
– Network and approximate location information (for example, IP address and approximate location derived from IP address).
– Usage information (for example, pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring page, and interactions with site features).
– Security and integrity signals (for example, signals used to detect bots, malicious traffic, or spam).
We use this information only for the purposes described in this cookies policy (and, where relevant, our privacy policy), and we apply consent controls for optional cookies where required.
Cookie categories we use
We group cookies into the categories below. This supports clear disclosure and meaningful choice.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the website to function and for security. Consent is not required for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide an online service you request, but we still explain them here.
Functional cookies
These help with enhanced functionality and personalisation, for example remembering settings or supporting site features.
Statistics cookies
These help us understand how the website is used so we can improve it. Where required, we only use these after you have given consent.
Marketing cookies
These are used to track visitors across websites to deliver relevant advertising. Where required, we only use these after you have given consent.
Consent, CookieYes, and how you can change your choice
We use CookieYes to present a cookie notice and manage consent preferences.
Where required, our cookie banner allows you to:
– Accept all cookies,
– Reject non-essential cookies, or
– Customise your preferences by cookie category.
Cookie consent should be a clear positive action, and users should be able to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.
We also record consent choices (and the time they were captured) where required to help demonstrate compliance.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by:
– Using the cookie settings option in our cookie notice, or
– Using the revisit consent link or button on the website, if displayed by CookieYes (for example, via a persistent “cookie settings” link where available).
If you reject optional cookies, you should still be able to access the website, although some features may not work as intended.

Below is the list of cookies discovered by CookieYes, with recommended categories and plain language purposes.

Why some consent related cookies are strictly necessary
Consent preference cookies are required to record and apply your choices. Without them, the website cannot reliably remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies.

Based on the discovered cookie list, third party cookie domains include:
– Cloudflare related services via HubSpot script delivery domains.
– HubSpot domains.
– Google reCAPTCHA domains.
Where required, we only allow optional third party cookies to be set after you have given consent.
