Privacy & Cookie Policy
This policy explains what this website does with your data: the cookies it sets, the analytics it runs, and how you control both. rhaynjooste.com takes a proactive approach to user privacy and complies with UK data protection law.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages they read. It does not sell or share this data with third parties beyond Google's standard analytics processing.
Nothing loads until you choose Accept on the cookie banner. If you chooseReject, or simply close the banner without accepting, no analytics script runs and no cookie is set.
Advertising
This site displays ads through Google AdSense. AdSense may set cookies to measure ad performance and, unless you tell Google otherwise, to personalise the ads shown to you based on your browsing activity.
Ads get exactly the same treatment as analytics: nothing loads and no ad cookie is set until you choose Accept on the cookie banner. Choosing Rejectmeans no ad script runs at all — not a switch to "non-personalised" ads, no ad script full stop.
You can control ad personalisation directly with Google atadssettings.google.com, independently of the choice you make here.
Changing your choice
You can change your decision at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the footer of every page. You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser's security settings; doing so may affect how some parts of this site behave.
What Google Analytics stores
If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies (typically _ga and_ga_*) that identify your browser as a single visitor across page views, for up to 24 months. No account information or content you submit anywhere on this site is linked to this data.
External links
This site links to other websites, including YouTube, Facebook and Patreon. Rhayn Jooste cannot guarantee or verify the content of any externally linked site and is not responsible for their privacy practices. Visit external links at your own discretion, and check their own privacy policy before sharing anything with them.
Social media platforms
Engagement through the social media platforms linked from this site (YouTube, Facebook) is governed by that platform's own terms and privacy policy, not this one. Rhayn Jooste will never ask for personal or sensitive information through social media.
For the general terms covering use of this website, see theTerms & Conditions.
