Use of cookies
We use "cookies" to identify you when you visit the www.1stcontactsa.co.za site and to build up a demographic profile.

Use of Web Beacons
1st Contact web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow the 1st Contact Group to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons are not used to access your personally identifiable information on the 1st Contact network of sites and services; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about 1st Contact website usage.
Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides.
