Cookie & Data Policy

There are various technologies that allow tracking of online activity.

The most commonly used technology is cookies — small text files containing small amounts of information, which your computer or mobile device creates when you visit a website. When you return to our website, the site can read these text files and recognise your device, helping to enable site features and functionality.

Cookies are useful in many ways. They:

• provide us with information on how our website is being used
• help us to tailor marketing messages to your interests, both on and off our sites
• let you navigate between pages more quickly and securely
• recognise you when you return to websites and remember your preferences
• assist us with product and service research, development and business strategy
• generally improve the quality of information provided to you and your browsing experience.

We place cookies (and other similar technologies) on your device when you visit our website. This helps us provide the best possible browsing experience for you. Other sites will also place cookies on your device and may allow us to access their cookie data.

There are different types of cookies:

Some cookies on our platform are placed by third-party services we use. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies:

• Stripe — Payment processing
• Google Analytics — Website analytics
• Mapbox — Mapping and location services

By changing your browser settings, you can control how cookies are used on your computer or device. Usually, you can do this by opening the menu in your browser and choosing Settings, Options or Privacy (it depends on which browser you're using). From there, you can tailor how your device stores cookies.

Options may include deleting all or some cookies, not accepting any cookies, or being notified when cookies are being used. For example, if you are using Google Chrome, you can choose to browse "Incognito" which will only allow session-based cookies.

You can delete existing cookies on your device and block new cookies if you don't want your online activity to be tracked and remembered. Without cookies, we can't recognise you across visits. Image-related technologies can be blocked by disabling JavaScript, but this would interfere with your ability to use websites that rely on JavaScript.

You should be aware that:

• some cookies are essential for protecting financial and personal information
• your experience on our website may be limited if you decide to delete or block certain cookies
• if you delete all your cookies, you will have to update your preferences with us again
• if you use a different device, computer or browser you will have to tell us your preferences again
• unless you block cookies entirely, new cookies will continue to be placed on your browser as you interact online, so you will need to check and delete cookies each time you go online.

We don't mind what you do with your cookies — we'll do our best to give you the best experience we can, whatever you choose.

The collection of personal information through cookies (such as IP addresses or device identifiers) is subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Our full Privacy Policy, including how we collect, use and disclose personal information, is available at ousies.com.au/privacy.

We may update this Cookie & Data Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on our website with a revised date.
