Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 2026
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. This policy explains which cookies Prosperity Talent Management Services t/a PTMS Consulting (“PTMS Consulting”) uses on prosperitytalent.co.za, what each one is for, and how you can control them. It applies to visitors in South Africa in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
Cookies we use
We keep this deliberately short: this site does not run advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and does not use marketing or social-media tracking pixels.
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ptms-consent | Essential | Remembers your cookie consent choice so we don't ask again on every visit. | 1 year |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics (only if accepted) | Google Analytics 4, used to understand how visitors use this site. It only loads if you click Accept on the cookie banner; if you decline, no analytics cookies are set. | Up to 2 years |
| NID and similar Google cookies | Third-party (embedded map, click-to-load) | The map on our Contact section only loads once you click "Load map" — Google sets these cookies at that point to support the embedded map, not automatically on page load. Set by Google, not by PTMS Consulting directly. | Set by Google |
Social media links
Our WhatsApp, Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok links take you to those platforms in a new tab — they are plain links, not embedded widgets, so they don’t set any cookies on our site. Once you follow one of those links, that platform’s own cookie and privacy policy applies.
Managing cookies
You can accept or decline analytics cookies from the cookie banner shown on your first visit. To change your choice later, delete the ptms-consent cookie for this site in your browser settings (usually under Privacy / Cookies and site data) — the banner will then show again on your next visit. You can also block or delete cookies generally through your browser’s settings, though doing so may affect how some parts of the site behave.
Your rights
Under POPIA, you can ask what personal information we hold about you, request correction or deletion, and withdraw consent at any time. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa) if you believe your information has been mishandled. See our Privacy Notice for how we handle personal information submitted through our forms.
