2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember user preferences, improve performance, analyse traffic, and in some cases support advertising or marketing.

Similar technologies may include:

  • pixels
  • tags
  • web beacons
  • SDKs
  • local storage
  • scripts
  • other technologies that collect or store information on your device or browser.

The OAIC’s tracking guidance specifically calls out third-party tracking pixels as a technology that can create privacy obligations for private sector organisations.

Those third parties may collect information directly from your browser or device in accordance with their own privacy policies.

The OAIC’s 2024 guidance notes that organisations should assess what data third-party pixels and similar technologies collect, where it goes, and whether individuals have been appropriately notified.

7. Consent and Your Choices

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • block cookies

  • limit certain kinds of tracking
  • receive alerts before cookies are set.

Where available, you may also manage your preferences through our cookie banner or cookie settings tool.

The OAIC’s guidance on tracking pixels stresses the importance of assessing notice and consent obligations when online tracking tools are used.

8. Browser Controls

You can manage cookies through your browser. The exact steps differ depending on your browser, but settings are commonly available under menus such as:

  • Privacy
  • Security
  • Site Settings
  • Cookies and Site Data.

You may also be able to delete existing cookies already stored on your device.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. At present, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to these signals. As a result, the Website may not respond to Do Not Track signals in a consistent or uniform way.

10. Overseas Data Handling

Because World Name Days operates online and may use third-party providers located in different countries, information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be processed outside Australia, including in countries where privacy laws differ from those in your country of residence.

These countries may include, depending on the providers used from time to time:

  • Australia
  • the United States
  • member states of the European Economic Area
  • the United Kingdom
  • Singapore
  • other countries in which our providers operate.

Further information is available in our Privacy Policy.

APP 1 says an APP privacy policy should state whether personal information is likely to be disclosed to overseas recipients and, if practicable, the countries where those recipients are likely to be located.

11. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, our practices or the services we use.

Any updated version will be posted on this page and will take effect when published unless otherwise stated.
