Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how digiPeeps Pty Ltd (ABN 90 639 024 123) (digiPeeps, we, us or our) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at digipeeps.com.au (the Website). We wrote it in plain English because you deserve to know what happens on your device, and to choose. It is a standalone notice that should be read together with our Privacy Policy ([link to digiPeeps Privacy Policy]), which explains how we handle personal information more broadly. If there is any inconsistency between this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy about how we handle personal information, the Privacy Policy prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

Last updated: 4 July 2026. Version: [version number]. Whenever we make a material change we update this date and version and keep a short record of what changed.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device (computer, phone or tablet). When you return, your browser sends the cookie back, which lets the site remember things — like keeping you logged in, or measuring how the site is used.

We use the word cookies in this policy as a shorthand for cookies and similar technologies — including local storage, pixels (also called web beacons or tags) and software development kits — that store or read information on your device in a comparable way.

A first-party cookie is set by digiPeeps. A third-party cookie is set by another organisation whose service we use on the Website (for example, Google or Meta). We explain the third parties we use in section 3.

The categories of cookies we use

We group the cookies on our Website into three categories. Only the first is always on; the other two run only if you consent.

Strictly-necessary cookies. These are essential for the Website to work — for example, to load pages securely, remember your cookie choices, balance server load, and keep any forms or logged-in sessions functioning. Because the Website cannot operate properly without them, they are set without asking, and you cannot turn them off through our consent tool. They do not track you for advertising.

Analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors use the Website — which pages are popular, how people arrive, and where things break — so we can improve it. We currently use Google Analytics for this, though the analytics providers we use may change over time. Analytics cookies run only if you consent, and we ask our analytics provider to handle the data in a privacy-protective way (including IP-address handling consistent with the provider's settings). They are not essential, so the Website still works if you decline.

Advertising cookies. These let us show you relevant ads on other websites and platforms, measure whether our ads worked, and avoid showing you the same ad too often. We currently use advertising cookies and pixels from Google (Google Ads) and Meta (the Meta/Facebook pixel), though the advertising providers we use may change over time. Advertising cookies run only if you consent. If you decline, you will still see ads elsewhere online — they just will not be tailored using activity from our Website.

What our pixels collect. We have checked, and we keep checking, what information our advertising and analytics pixels collect. We keep that information to the minimum we need, and we do not use pixels to collect or infer sensitive information about you (such as your health, sexuality, religious beliefs or political opinions) without your separate, express consent, and we take steps to stop pixels firing on pages where that kind of information might be involved.

How long cookies last, and the current list. Some cookies are session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which stay for a set period — for example, we keep a record of your cookie choice for up to 12 months so we do not keep asking. Because the exact cookies can change over time, the current, detailed list — each cookie's name, purpose, provider and how long it lasts — is shown in our cookie settings tool on the Website, and we will provide it on request using the contact details in section 8.

How long we keep the data. We do not keep the analytics and advertising data collected through cookies for longer than we need it. Where a provider lets us set a retention period we do so (for example, the Google Analytics data-retention controls), and we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information collected through cookies once it is no longer needed for the purpose we collected it.

Third-party and overseas cookies

Our analytics and advertising cookies are set by third parties — currently Google (Google LLC and its group companies) and Meta (Meta Platforms, Inc. and its group companies). When these cookies are active, those companies receive information such as your device and browser type, the pages you view on our Website, and an identifier tied to the cookie. They use it under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control.

Because Google and Meta are global companies, some information collected by these cookies is transferred to, and stored on, servers outside Australia. For Google and Meta this is likely to include the United States, and may also include Ireland or other countries in the European Union, and Singapore, where those providers or their sub-processors operate. Overseas recipients may be subject to laws different from Australian law.

This overseas handling does not reduce our responsibilities to you. Consistent with Australian Privacy Principle 8, before we disclose information overseas we take steps that are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles — for example, relying on the data-processing terms and contractual protections these providers publish, and using privacy-protective settings such as IP-address handling. Because the United States does not have a law that the Privacy Act treats as substantially similar to the Australian Privacy Principles, we remain accountable under section 16C of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) for how these overseas providers handle your information, as if we had handled it ourselves. Section 4 explains how you can withdraw consent at any time.

How consent works

When you first visit the Website, we show a cookie banner. Strictly-necessary cookies load straight away because the site needs them. Analytics and advertising cookies do not load until you make a choice. Your consent is always free — declining does not stop you using the Website or change what you pay.

You can accept all, reject all (non-essential), or open the settings and choose category by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting — there is no pre-ticked trickery and no penalty for saying no. We treat closing or ignoring the banner as not granting consent to non-essential cookies.

We remember your choice in a strictly-necessary cookie so we do not keep asking. Your consent is not forever — we will ask again periodically, and whenever we make a material change to the cookies we use. If your stored consent predates a material change, we will ask you again.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link on the Website (usually in the footer, e.g. "Cookie settings"), or by using the browser controls and opt-outs in section 5. Withdrawing consent stops future collection through those cookies; it does not undo processing that already happened while consent was in place.

Who can consent. Our Website is intended for adults and for business users, and consent only counts if the person giving it has the capacity to do so. We do not knowingly ask children for cookie consent. If you are under 18, please have a parent or guardian make these cookie choices with you.

How to control or disable cookies

You have several independent ways to control cookies. You can use any or all of them.

Our cookie settings. Reopen the cookie settings on the Website at any time to switch analytics or advertising cookies on or off.

Your browser. Most browsers let you see the cookies stored, delete them, and block some or all cookies. Look under Settings, then Privacy. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may stop parts of the Website from working. Helpful guides: Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge each publish step-by-step cookie instructions in their support sites.

You can also turn on your browser's "do not track" setting or a global privacy signal such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where a signal we can reliably read indicates you do not want tracking, we treat it as a request to decline non-essential cookies.

Provider opt-outs. You can opt out at the source: Google Analytics offers a browser opt-out add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout); Google ad personalisation is controlled at adssettings.google.com; Meta ad personalisation is controlled at facebook.com/adpreferences.

Device controls. On phones and tablets you can also limit ad tracking in your device settings (for example, iOS "Allow Apps to Request to Track" and Android "Ads" settings).

Because these controls are stored per-browser and per-device, you will need to set your preferences again on each browser and device you use, and if you clear your cookies your choices will reset.

Your privacy rights

Where cookies collect information about you that is personal information, our Privacy Policy governs how we handle it, including how you can access or correct it and how to make a complaint. Please read this Cookie Policy together with the Privacy Policy, available on the Website.

We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Because part of what we do involves disclosing personal information to analytics and advertising providers such as Google and Meta in connection with our services, we are treated as bound by the Privacy Act, and we have chosen to conduct ourselves in accordance with it in any event.

Nothing in this policy limits any rights you have under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, or under the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) for marketing messages.

Data breaches. If we suspect a data breach involving personal information, we assess it, and where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme in Part IIIC of the Privacy Act applies, we notify the affected individuals and the OAIC in line with that scheme.

Automated decisions. We do not use cookies to make automated decisions about you that could significantly affect your rights or interests; our advertising cookies only help decide which ads you may see.

If you are not happy with how we have handled a cookie or privacy matter, please contact us first (section 8) so we can try to put it right. We will acknowledge your complaint promptly and aim to respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, or we do not respond within a reasonable time, you can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our Website, technology or the law changes. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date and version above and note what changed. If a change affects your rights or is material — for example, adding a new category of cookie or a new advertising provider — we will make it clear on the Website in advance where we can, and, where required, ask for your consent again.

The version published on the Website is the current version and replaces earlier ones.
