Right to Privacy – The South African constitution
Section 14 of the 1996 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa provides for an express, justiciable right to privacy. It states:
“Everyone has the right to privacy, which includes the right not to have – (a) their person or home searched;
(b) their property searched;
(c) their possessions seized;
(d) the privacy of their communications infringed.”
This superseded section 13 of the interim Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act 200 of 1993 (“the interim Constitution”), which was framed in largely the same terms.
Section 10 of the Constitution also contains a right to human dignity: “Everyone has inherent dignity and the right to have their dignity respected and protected.”
The Constitution is the supreme law in South Africa (section 2), and the state is required to respect, protect, promote and fulfil the rights in the Bill of Rights (section 7(2)). It is binding on both state and non-state actors (section 8). All rights in the Bill of Rights can be limited by a law of general application, to the extent that the limitation is reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society (section 36). Certain statutes also compel organs of the state or other parties to protect private information obtained from the public, such as the National
Health Act 61 of 2003;
the National Credit Act 34 of 2005; the
Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008; the Electronic Communication and
Transactions Act 25 of 2002; and the Promotion of Access to Information Act 2
of 2000.

Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded

different cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social
media or content cookies. Cookies make your browsing experience better by
allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login

each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies
also provide information on how people use the website, for instance whether
it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.
The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or
mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie.
Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until
they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will
expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to
your device.

how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies
