What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how you interact with pages, and improve your overall experience. Similar technologies such as localStorage may also be used to store consent preferences.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies and similar technologies is designed to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles, and OAIC guidance on privacy and online tracking, as well as GDPR where applicable.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function. They enable core features such as security, network management, and storage of your cookie consent preferences. These cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie settings panel as the site would not function properly without them.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use the Website, including pages visited, time spent, and navigation paths. This data helps us improve content and user experience. Analytics cookies are only activated with your explicit consent.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies track browsing activity to measure advertising effectiveness and deliver relevant content. These cookies are only activated with your explicit consent and may be set by third-party advertising partners (such as Google Ads or similar platforms) when such tools are enabled on the Website.

Under Australian privacy law, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device, except where an exception applies. Strictly necessary cookies are used without consent because they are required for core Website operation and security.

You may withdraw consent for analytics or marketing cookies at any time by reopening the cookie settings panel from the cookie banner (if visible) or by clearing site data in your browser. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit the Website, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences through the cookie settings panel. Your choices are stored in localStorage under the key "cookie_consent" and remain valid until you clear your browser data or change your preferences.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality.

Third-Party Cookies and Online Advertising

Some cookies may be set by third-party services integrated into the Website, such as analytics or advertising providers. These third parties process information under their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies for further information.

If marketing cookies are enabled with your consent, third-party advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance and show relevant ads. You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google's partner sites policy and manage ad personalisation through Google Ads Settings.

Cookie Retention Periods

  • Strictly necessary cookies: session-based or up to 12 months.
  • Analytics cookies: up to 26 months, subject to consent.
  • Marketing cookies: up to 12 months, subject to consent.
  • Consent preference storage (localStorage): up to 12 months.

Your Rights

Under the Privacy Act, APPs, and GDPR (where applicable), you have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time and to request information about personal information collected through cookies. Contact us at correspondence@brighttendon.world or refer to our Privacy Policy for full details on your privacy rights and how to complain to the OAIC.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
