Who We Are
Welcome to SRD Status, your reliable source for SASSA status checks and updates. Our website address is: https://srdstatus.co.za
Comments
When you leave your comments on our site as visitors, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the guest IP address and browser user agent string. These measures are implemented to enhance spam detection and ensure a secure environment for our users.
Additionally, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. Please refer to the Gravatar service privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/ for more information. After your comment is approved, your profile picture, if applicable, will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
To protect your privacy, we recommend avoiding the uploading of images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to our website. Embedded location data can be extracted by website visitors, potentially compromising your location privacy.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to opt-in for saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are designed for your convenience, allowing you to avoid re-entering your details when leaving subsequent comments. These cookies will remain active for one year.
Upon visiting our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This temporary cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we establish several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies are active for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out, the login cookies will be removed.
Additionally, when you edit or publish an article, a cookie with no personal data will be saved in your browser. This cookie simply indicates the post ID of the article you recently edited and will expire after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles may include embedded content, such as videos, images, and articles, from other websites. This embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the external website.
Please note that these external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, employ third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in on that external website.
