Last updated: 12 July 2026
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels; in this policy we refer to all of these as “cookies”.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- make the website and portal function and keep them secure;
- remember your settings and preferences;
- understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it; and
- measure the performance of our content.
3. Types of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Can you turn it off? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Enable core functions such as security, network management, page navigation and access to secure areas of the portal. The site cannot work properly without these. | No — these are essential. |
| Preference | Remember choices you make, such as settings, to give you a better experience. | Yes. |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors interact with the site (for example, pages visited and time on page) on an aggregated basis, so we can improve it. | Yes. |
We do not use cookies to sell your information or to build advertising profiles about you.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers. These providers process information under their own privacy terms. The specific providers we use are listed here: [e.g. Google Analytics / privacy-focused analytics provider]. We keep this section current as our tools change.
5. How to control cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies, and notify you when a cookie is set. Because we only place non-essential cookies where permitted, you can also decline them through any cookie banner or preference control we provide. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website and portal work.
Guidance on managing cookies is available from your browser provider and from resources such as the OAIC.
6. More information
How we handle any personal information collected through cookies is explained in our Privacy Policy. If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, contact us at privacy@cottoniq.app.
