Last updated: January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on bigbasscrash.co.za, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They're stored in your browser and sent back to the site on your next visit. Cookies help sites remember your preferences, understand how you use them, and sometimes serve relevant advertising.
Not all cookies are the same. Some are essential for the site to work. Others are optional and used for analytics or marketing. We explain each type below.
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. Without them, parts of the site won't work properly. They don't collect personal information for marketing purposes and can't be switched off.
- Session cookies that keep track of your visit as you move between pages
- Security cookies that help protect against cross-site request forgery
- Cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use this site. This helps us improve content and fix problems. The data collected is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.
- Google Analytics: tracks pages visited, time on site, device type, and referral source. Google may transfer this data outside South Africa. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Affiliate and Tracking Cookies
When you click an affiliate link on this site, a cookie may be set by the third-party operator to track that referral. This is how affiliate commissions are recorded. These cookies are set by the operator's platform, not by us, and are governed by that operator's cookie and privacy policies.
Preference Cookies
These remember choices you make on the site, such as your cookie consent decision. They make your experience more consistent across visits.
Cookies We Don't Use
We don't use cookies to build advertising profiles, serve targeted ads, or track you across other websites for marketing purposes. We don't use social media tracking pixels.

Your Choices
You have several ways to control cookies.
Cookie Banner
When you first visit the site, you'll see a cookie consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
Browser Settings
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Here's where to find those settings in common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

Blocking all cookies may affect how this site works. Strictly necessary cookies are required for basic functionality.
Opting Out of Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all sites using the browser add-on mentioned above. You can also use your browser's private or incognito mode, which doesn't store cookies after your session ends.
POPIA and Your Rights
Under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA), you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you and to request its deletion. If analytics cookies collect data that could be linked to you, you can request that we delete it. Contact us at [email protected] to make such a request.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
