Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 June 2026 · Effective immediately

TL;DR

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep the site working and optional analytics and marketing cookies only with your explicit consent. You can change your preferences at any time using the controls on this page. No cookies are set before you choose — we default to denied.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, track how you interact with pages, and enable features like analytics and advertising.

Some cookies are essential — without them, the site simply would not function. Others are optional and only activated after you give explicit consent. We never set optional cookies until you tell us it is okay.

Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us, thedesignhammock.co.za) or “third-party” (set by our analytics or advertising partners).

How to Manage Cookies

You have full control over which optional cookies are active. Here are the ways you can manage them:

On-Site Controls

Use the button above, or click the shield icon in the bottom-left corner of any page.

Google Consent Mode v2

Our consent system integrates with Google Consent Mode v2, ensuring all four parameters (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) respect your choices.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these under “Privacy”, “Security”, or “Cookies” in your browser preferences. Common options include:

  • Block all third-party cookies
  • Clear cookies when you close the browser
  • Send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal to websites
  • Browse in private or incognito mode
  • Delete specific cookies from individual sites

Note: Disabling cookies in your browser may affect site functionality beyond what our consent controls manage. Our on-site preference centre gives you more granular control without breaking features.
