Aftermarket.co.za websites (collectively “Aftermarket.co.za” in this document) refer to sites hosted on the Aftermarket.co.za, and other related domains and subdomains thereof. This privacy policy describes how Aftermarket.co.za uses and protects any information that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through Aftermarket.co.za, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Aftermarket.co.za collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Aftermarket.co.za’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Aftermarket.co.za’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Aftermarket.co.za may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Aftermarket.co.za also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Aftermarket.co.za does not use IP addresses to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Aftermarket.co.za choose to interact with Aftermarket.co.za in ways that require Aftermarket.co.za to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Aftermarket.co.za gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our shopping cart to provide a name, address and email address.
In each case, Aftermarket.co.za collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Aftermarket.co.za. Aftermarket.co.za does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities, like purchasing a product.
All of the information that is collected on Aftermarket.co.za will be handled in accordance with the provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act, No 4 of 2013 or such other related data protection legislation.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Aftermarket.co.za discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organisations and suppliers that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Aftermarket.co.za’s behalf or to provide services available through Aftermarket.co.za, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations and suppliers may be located outside of your home country; by using Aftermarket.co.za, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
Aftermarket.co.za will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Aftermarket.co.za shall disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when Aftermarket.co.za believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Aftermarket.co.za, third parties, or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of a Aftermarket.co.za website and have supplied your email address, Aftermarket.co.za will send you a series of email about the order process, and may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, attain your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Aftermarket.co.za and our products.
If you send us a request (for example via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Aftermarket.co.za takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Aggregated Statistics
Aftermarket.co.za may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. However, Aftermarket.co.za does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described in this policy.
Cookies
Additionally, information about how you use our website is collected automatically using “cookies”. Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. This information is used to track visitor use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to ‘remember’ you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a ‘session cookie’) or for multiple repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as ‘first party cookies’), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (‘third party cookies’).
Cookies set by Aftermarket.co.za
We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalised experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “Buy This” button on a product, for example).
Below the different categories of cookies set by Aftermarket.co.za are outlined. Certain cookies are only set for logged-in visitors, whereas others are set for any visitors, and these are marked below accordingly. Where a cookie only applies to specific subdomains, they are included under the relevant header.
Strictly Necessary
These are the cookies that are essential for Aftermarket.co.za to perform basic functions. These include those required to allow registered users to authenticate and perform account and shopping cart related functions.
Functionality
These cookies are used to store preferences set by users such as account name, language, and location.
Performance
Performance cookies collect information on how users interact with websites hosted on Aftermarket.co.za, including what pages are visited most, as well as other analytical data. These details are only used to improve how the website functions.
Tracking
These are set by trusted third party networks (e.g. Google Analytics) to track details such as the number of unique visitors, and pageviews to help improve the user experience.
Third Party/Embedded Content
Aftermarket.co.za makes use of different third party applications and services to enhance the experience of website visitors. These include social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter (through the use of sharing buttons), or embedded content from YouTube and Vimeo. As a result, cookies may be set by these third parties, and used by them to track your online activity. We have no direct control over the information that is collected by these cookies.
Controlling Cookies
Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies, or completely prevent them from being set. Most browsers provide ways to control cookie behaviour such as the length of time they are stored — either through built-in functionality or by utilising third party plugins.
It’s important to note that restricting or disabling the use of cookies can limit the functionality of sites or prevent them from working correctly at all.
