Cookie Policy
Last updated: 24 April 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to website owners. Similar technologies — such as pixels, web beacons, tags and local storage — perform comparable functions. In this Policy, we refer to all of these together as "cookies".
2. How we use cookies
Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies to: (a) make the Website function properly; (b) understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it; and (c) measure the performance and reach of our content.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function. They enable core functionality such as security, network management and load balancing — for example, cookies set by our hosting provider, Cloudflare. Without them, our Website cannot work properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is needed for the session.
4. Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information, generally in anonymised or aggregate form. We use: Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google LLC) — collects information about pages viewed, session duration and referring sites (see policies.google.com/privacy); and Cloudflare Pages Analytics (provided by Cloudflare, Inc.) — collects information about Website traffic, performance and security (see cloudflare.com/privacypolicy). We apply the default settings for both providers and have not configured custom tracking beyond the standard installation.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our Website are set by third parties (Google and Cloudflare). We do not control these cookies. We recommend you review the privacy policies of those providers for more information. We do not currently use advertising, retargeting or social media tracking cookies. If that changes, we will update this Policy.
6. How long cookies last
Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored on your device until they expire or you delete them). We apply the default lifespans set by our analytics providers. Google Analytics 4 cookies typically expire after 2 years, though you can delete them at any time through your browser settings.
7. How to manage or disable cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Website. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

8. Consent
By continuing to use our Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Policy. If you do not agree, you should disable cookies through your browser settings or stop using our Website.
9. Relationship to our Privacy Policy
Information collected via cookies may constitute personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Our handling of that personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which should be read together with this Cookie Policy.
10. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on our Website with a new "Last updated" date.
