Understanding how we use cookies and similar technologies

This Cookie Policy explains how Aussie Adventures ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at www.aussieadventures.com.au (the "Website"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie, and are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. Session cookies allow website operators to link your actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close it. Session cookies are created temporarily and are deleted once you close your browser.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes, including:

2.1 Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You cannot disable these cookies through our system, but you can set your browser to block them. However, this may cause some parts of the Website to not work properly.

Examples of necessary cookies we use:

  • Session cookies: To identify your session and maintain security during your visit
  • Load balancing cookies: To distribute traffic to the Website across different servers
  • User input cookies: To keep track of your input when filling forms that span several pages
  • CSRF tokens: To prevent cross-site request forgery (security)

2.2 Preference Cookies

These cookies enable the Website to remember information that changes the way the Website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region you are in. They help us to remember your settings and preferences so that you don't have to keep resetting them whenever you come back to the Website.

Examples of preference cookies we use:

  • Language preference cookies: To remember your language preferences
  • Location cookies: To customize content based on your approximate location
  • UI customization cookies: To remember how you've customized your view

2.3 Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often. We use this information to improve the Website and understand how users navigate through it. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous.

Examples of analytics cookies we use:

  • Google Analytics cookies: To collect data about website usage and visitor behavior
  • Performance cookies: To measure web page load times and other performance metrics
  • Heatmap cookies: To understand how users interact with different parts of our webpages

2.4 Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers. They remember that you have visited our Website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

Examples of marketing cookies we use:

  • Social media sharing cookies: To allow you to share content via social media platforms
  • Ad network cookies: To help deliver advertisements relevant to your interests
  • Retargeting cookies: To deliver advertisements to you about our services after you've left our Website

3. Similar Technologies We Use

In addition to cookies, we use the following similar technologies:

3.1 Web Beacons

Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. While cookies are stored on your computer, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages. We use web beacons to track user activities on our Website, manage the performance of our Website, and understand how users navigate through it.

3.2 Local Storage

Local storage, such as HTML5 Local Storage, allows websites to store larger amounts of data on your device than cookies can. This can be used to store preferences or user profile information that helps enhance your experience.

3.3 Session Replay

Session replay technologies allow us to record and analyze user interactions with our Website to identify usability issues and improve the overall user experience. These recordings are anonymized and do not collect sensitive information.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our Website, we will present you with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline different types of cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" button at the bottom of any page of our Website.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you disable cookies, some features of our Website may not function properly.

Here are instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari
  • Internet Explorer

5. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that allows you to tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, our Website does not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals. However, you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of most cookies through your web browser.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties on our Website. These third parties may include analytics providers, social media platforms, advertising networks, and other services. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your use of our Website and other websites.

We do not control these third parties or their use of cookies. Please refer to the privacy policies of these third parties for more information about how they use cookies and how you can manage them.

7. Cookie Duration

Different cookies remain active for different periods:

  • Session cookies: These expire when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Duration can range from minutes to several years, depending on the cookie's purpose.

8. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised policy on our Website. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices.
