1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as language settings, login status, etc.) over time.
They fall into categories such as:
- Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser)
- Persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them)
- First-party cookies (set by our site)
- Third-party cookies (set by external services we use, e.g. analytics, ads)
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential / Strictly Necessary: to perform core site functions (navigation, security, load balancing)
- Analytics / Performance: to understand site usage, page visits, user behaviour
- Preferences: to remember settings or preferences (e.g. locale)
- Marketing / Advertising: to deliver more relevant content or ads, track ad performance
3. Legal basis & consent (Australia)
Under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), cookies that collect or use personal information are treated as personal data processing.
While Australian law does not always require an opt-in cookie banner (like in the EU), best practice is transparency and giving users control over non-essential cookies.
By continuing to use this site, you consent to the use of cookies as described, unless you disable them via settings.

6. Third-party cookies & embedded content
