Cookie Policy

Purpose of this policy

South Africa Boxing Academy is a professional training club based at 87 Caxton St, Quigney, KuGompo City, 5201, South Africa. Our programs focus on boxing technique, strength, fitness, and discipline. This Cookie Policy explains how our website uses small local preferences when you visit pages about packages, training services, gallery inspiration, FAQ answers, and contact options. It is written so athletes can understand what is stored on their device and why, without unnecessary technical jargon.

What cookies and local preferences are

Cookies and similar local storage tools are small pieces of data saved by a browser. Some are essential for a site to remember a simple choice, such as whether a notice has already been acknowledged. Others can be used by websites for analytics or advertising. South Africa Boxing Academy uses a restrained approach. On this site, the primary local preference is used to remember whether the cookie notice has been accepted so the same banner is not shown repeatedly during ordinary browsing. This preference supports basic site comfort and form-related behaviour. It is not used to build advertising profiles, retarget visitors across unrelated websites, or sell behavioural data.

Depending on your browser settings, local preferences may be stored as cookies, local storage entries, or similar mechanisms. The exact technical label can vary by browser, but the purpose on this site remains limited: remember notice acknowledgement and support ordinary contact form operation. We do not load third-party advertising trackers from this website. We do not intentionally deploy social media pixel suites for marketing measurement on these pages. Our focus remains helping Quigney athletes review training information and send practical session requests.

Local preference use

The site uses a small local browser preference to remember whether the cookie notice has been accepted. This helps avoid showing the same notice repeatedly while you review packages, training options, gallery finishes, or booking questions. The preference typically stores a simple acknowledgement value and a related timestamp or status flag. It does not need your name, payment card, or athlete brief to function. Clearing site data removes the preference and may cause the notice to appear again on a later visit, which is expected behaviour rather than an error.

Form behaviour and contact pages

The contact form may use basic browser behaviour and request fields to support submission and response handling. Fields can include name, email, phone, athlete type, city or arrival notes, approximate program size, service interest, preferred contact window, and service notes. Those details are submitted only when you choose to send the request. They are processed as athlete communication for quotes, package planning, class scheduling, and academy replies. Form use is separate from the cookie notice preference, although both support a smooth booking conversation. No advertising trackers are loaded from this site to watch form completion for marketing networks.

If you begin a message and leave the page, your browser may keep temporary field state according to its own autofill or session behaviour. That behaviour is controlled by your browser and device settings rather than by a South Africa Boxing Academy advertising system. We encourage athletes not to enter payment card numbers into open message fields. Payment details, when required, should be handled through the secure method confirmed by the academy during order acceptance or at arrival.

Technical data that may appear in ordinary logs

Like most websites, hosting and security systems may record limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, device category, referring page, and timestamps. This information helps maintain uptime, diagnose errors, and protect the site from abuse. It is not used by South Africa Boxing Academy to create personalised training advertisements. Where logs are retained by hosting providers, retention follows ordinary security and operational practice. We review only what is needed to keep the boxing academy website reliable for Quigney students and visitors researching intro classes, technique clinics, strength work, and complete fight programs.

Browser controls and your choices

You can clear local site data in your browser settings, block cookies, or use private browsing modes. Clearing local data may make the notice appear again and may reset simple preferences. If you block all cookies globally, some browsers may also restrict related storage features. Essential site pages should still remain readable, but notice behaviour and certain form conveniences may change. Browser controls differ between products, so use your browser help documentation for exact steps on desktop or mobile devices.

Choosing to continue browsing after seeing the notice indicates acknowledgement of this limited preference practice. If you prefer not to store the acknowledgement, you can clear site data after your visit. Refusing optional marketing cookies is straightforward on this site because we do not deploy an advertising cookie suite.

Third parties and future changes

If we later add carefully chosen tools, for example a restrained analytics feature or an improved booking aid, we will update this Cookie Policy to describe the change in plain language. Material changes will be reflected on this page.

Relationship to privacy practices

Personal details you type into a training request are handled as athlete data for fulfilling coaching services, not as cookie tracking content. Experience notes and timing preferences are used to complete sessions with care and are not placed into advertising cookies.
