Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Botshop uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit botshop.co.za. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They help websites function, remember preferences, and — where you agree — provide aggregated analytics.

Botshop uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary — enabling core features such as security, load balancing, and remembering cookie consent choices. These cannot be switched off if you want to use the site.
• Functional — remembering preferences you set (for example, dismissing a notice).
• Analytics (optional) — understanding how visitors navigate our pages so we can improve content for implementers, educators, and institutional buyers. We use privacy-conscious, aggregated metrics where possible.

We do not use cookies to sell personal information or to serve third-party advertising on this website.

The exact cookies in use may evolve as we improve the site. Typical categories include:

• Session identifiers — expire when you close your browser; support secure browsing.
• Consent storage — records whether you accepted optional analytics cookies.
• Analytics identifiers — if enabled, may persist for up to 13 months and collect anonymised or pseudonymised usage data such as pages viewed and referral source.

Some embedded content or infrastructure providers (for example, hosting or analytics partners) may set their own cookies when you use our site. We select providers with appropriate data protection commitments and limit optional third-party cookies unless you consent.

When we introduce optional analytics cookies, you will be able to accept or reject them via a consent banner. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — blocking all cookies may affect site functionality.

To withdraw consent for optional cookies, clear site data for botshop.com in your browser or adjust your choice in the consent tool when available.

We may update this Cookie Policy when our use of cookies changes. Check the effective date at the top of this page for the latest version.
