Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 1, 2023

This Cookie Policy explains how Aussie Adventures ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is used.

Cookies may be "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies on our website:

2.1 Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they can only be disabled by changing your browser settings.

2.2 Functional Cookies

_gid Used by Google Analytics to distinguish users 24 hours

3. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our website:

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 device, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use web beacons to track user behavior, manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our website.

3.2 Local Storage

Local storage allows websites to store information locally on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not automatically transmitted to the server on every request. We use local storage to improve performance and user experience by storing some data locally instead of sending it to our servers repeatedly.

3.3 Tracking Scripts

We may use tracking scripts from third-party services like Google Analytics to collect information about how you use our website. These scripts help us understand how visitors engage with our site, which pages are most popular, and how users navigate between pages.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

4.1 Through Our Cookie Consent Tool

When you first visit our website, you will be presented 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 on the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.

4.2 Through Your Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser. Below are links to instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

Please note that if you choose to block certain cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of our website.

4.3 Third-Party Opt-Out Tools

For some third-party cookies, you can opt out through the respective service provider's website:

  • Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
  • Your Online Choices (for EU users)
  • Network Advertising Initiative (for US users)

5. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Due to the lack of a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can manage your preferences for tracking cookies as described in Section 4 above.

6. Cookie Policy Updates

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 Cookie Policy on our website. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
