Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Cairnsplatecraft (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on cairnsplatecraft.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We are committed to transparency consistent with Australian privacy expectations and good digital practice.
By continuing to use the Site after being presented with our cookie notice, or by selecting “Accept” on the cookie banner, you indicate your agreement to our use of cookies as described in this Policy, to the extent permitted by law. You can manage or withdraw consent at any time using the options described below.
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 efficiently, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a site, and support security. Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, and pixels. In this Policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies”.
2. Who is responsible
Cairnsplatecraft operates the Site from 28A Millers Rd, Brooklyn VIC 3012, Australia. For cookie or privacy questions, contact us at cairnsplatecraft@hotmail.com or +61 3 7050 4556.
3. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for core Site functions such as page navigation, security, load balancing, and remembering your cookie consent choice. The Site may not function properly without them.
Preference cookies. These cookies remember choices you make, such as language or interface preferences, to provide a more consistent experience on return visits.
Analytics and performance cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, including which pages are visited most often, approximate geographic region, device type, and referral sources. We use this information to improve content, layout, and performance. Analytics data is typically aggregated and does not directly identify you.
Functional cookies. These cookies support enhanced features such as embedded media, form usability improvements, or remembering whether a notice has already been shown.
We do not currently use cookies for third-party advertising networks. If that changes, we will update this Policy and, where appropriate, seek additional consent.
4. Cookies and local storage used on this Site
Examples of technologies that may be used on the Site include: a consent cookie or local storage key (for example, cairnsplatecraft_cookie_consent) that stores whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies; session cookies required for basic Site operation; and analytics cookies or scripts if analytics tools are enabled. Exact cookie names, providers, and durations may vary as we update the Site.
5. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to operate the Site securely and reliably; remember your cookie preferences; understand traffic patterns and popular content so we can improve the Site; diagnose technical issues and monitor performance; and support a smooth enquiry experience for prospective catering clients.
6. Legal basis and Australian context
In Australia there is no single dedicated “cookie law” equivalent to the EU ePrivacy Directive. However, personal information collected via cookies may be regulated under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles where that information is about an identified or reasonably identifiable individual. We handle such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We also provide clear notice and choice through our cookie banner as a matter of good practice and transparency.
7. Managing your cookie preferences
Our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored locally. Clear site data in your browser to reset the banner. Blocking all cookies may affect Site functionality.
8. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party providers that help us host, secure, or analyse the Site, or that power linked social platforms. Those third parties may process data according to their own privacy policies. Social links on our Site (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Viber) may cause those platforms to collect information if you choose to visit them. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie notices of those platforms.
9. Do Not Track and global privacy controls
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because standards vary, the Site may not respond to every signal automatically. Manage cookies via our banner and browser settings.
10. Retention
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until expiry or deletion. Consent preferences remain until cleared. Analytics cookies follow provider settings and our operational needs.
11. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. The revised Policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
