Last Updated: June 25, 2021
Your privacy is important to NavWorld. This Cookie Policy provides you with information on our usage of cookies and similar technologies on our websites that reference it, such as navworld.co.za and describes how you can manage your cookie preferences.
To find information on our processing of personal data related to website functionality (such as making a purchase), please click here to review our privacy policies. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies can perform a variety of functions, such as remembering your information so that you do not have to enter it again or supporting shopping cart functionality. Similar technologies, such as pixels, or clear GIFs, may also be used. For simplicity, all of these technologies will be referred to as “cookies” in this policy. Cookies may either be placed by the website operator (first-party cookies) or placed by another party, such as a search engine, business partner, or advertising network (third-party cookies). Some cookies expire when you close your browser tab or window (session cookies), and others remain until they expire or are deleted (persistent cookies).
