Last updated: 17 August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how CoLab Works uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://colabworks.online/.

CoLab Works is committed to being transparent about how information is collected and used when you interact with our website.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.

They allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies can help websites function properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site and, depending on the technology used, support marketing and advertising activities.

Cookies may be placed by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that operate on or through our website (third-party cookies).

2. Why does CoLab Works use cookies?

We may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes, including:

Essential website functionality

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly.

These may support things such as:

• website security;
• session functionality;
• form functionality;
• remembering certain website settings; and
• basic technical operation.

These cookies generally cannot be disabled through the website because doing so may affect the functionality of the site.

Website performance and analytics

Where enabled, we may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website.

This may include information such as:

• pages visited;
• approximate geographic location;
• browser and device type;
• referring website;
• time spent on pages; and
• general website usage patterns.

This information helps us understand what is working, identify problems and improve the website and user experience.

Marketing and advertising

Where applicable, we may use cookies or similar technologies provided by third-party advertising and marketing platforms to measure campaigns, understand interactions with our website and deliver or measure relevant advertising.

Any such technologies will be used in accordance with the applicable provider’s policies and our privacy obligations.

3. Third-party cookies

Some services used on our website may place their own cookies or similar technologies.

Depending on the services active on the website, these may include providers used for:

• website analytics;
• website performance;
• embedded content;
• spam and security protection;
• advertising;
• social media;
• marketing measurement; or
• other third-party functionality.

Third-party providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

We do not control the privacy practices of third-party providers and recommend reviewing their policies where appropriate.

4. Cookie consent

Where applicable, CoLab Works will provide visitors with information about cookies through the website’s cookie notification.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of parts of the website.

Important: The cookie notification currently provided on this website is a basic cookie notice and policy-link mechanism. It does not provide a granular cookie-category preference manager.

5. Managing cookies through your browser

Most modern browsers allow you to control, delete or block cookies through their settings.

You can generally:

• view cookies stored on your device;
• delete existing cookies;
• block cookies;
• allow cookies only from certain websites; or
• configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being placed.

The exact process differs between browsers, so please consult the help documentation for your particular browser.

6. Cookies and personal information

Cookies do not necessarily identify you by name.

However, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may sometimes be combined with other information that could identify an individual.

Where information collected through cookies constitutes personal information, CoLab Works will handle that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection laws.

For visitors in South Africa, this includes the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) where applicable.

POPIA includes requirements concerning lawful processing, transparency and the rights of data subjects.

7. International visitors

CoLab Works is based in South Africa but may work with clients and visitors internationally.

Where applicable, we may therefore process information relating to individuals located outside South Africa.

If we use third-party services that process information outside South Africa, such processing will be handled in accordance with applicable legal requirements and our Privacy Policy.

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:

• the technologies used on our website;
