Information collected automatically

If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, referral source, session activity and technical identifiers. Ingredient does not use the website to collect payment information, health records or account passwords.

Why we use it

We use aggregated website information to understand which guides people find useful, improve navigation and content, measure search performance and plan future articles. We do not sell personal information.

Cookies and your choice

Analytics cookies are optional. Choosing “Decline analytics” prevents Ingredient from loading Google Analytics on that device. Choosing “Accept analytics” allows measurement. Your choice is stored in your browser so the website can remember it.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is provided by Google. Information may be processed on Google infrastructure outside South Africa, subject to Google’s safeguards and terms. Read Google’s privacy policy or use Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Retention and security

Analytics retention is configured in Google Analytics and may retain event-level data for up to 14 months. We take reasonable steps to protect the information under our control, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

You may ask what personal information we hold about you, request correction or deletion where applicable, object to certain processing, or raise a privacy concern. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa).

External links and updates

Ingredient links to third-party sources whose privacy practices are governed by their own notices. We may update this notice as the website changes.
