Cookies Policy
This page explains what cookies are, which cookies AussieChips uses, why we use them and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Last updated: 2026.
What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies allow a site to remember information about your visit — for example, that you have already dismissed a banner, or that you prefer a particular language — and to gather statistics about how the site is used.
Similar technologies (local storage, session storage, pixel tags, small web beacons) can perform comparable functions. Where this policy refers to “cookies”, it means all such technologies, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
Categories of cookies we use
We group cookies into four categories.
Strictly necessary. These are required for the website to function. They enable core actions such as loading pages, remembering your cookie choices, and protecting the site against basic forms of abuse. Necessary cookies are always active and do not require consent, because the site cannot work properly without them.
Analytics. These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are read, how long they spend on them, which links they follow, which countries they come from — in aggregate form. We use this information to improve editorial coverage and site navigation. Analytics cookies are activated only if you agree to them through the cookie banner.
Functional. These remember choices you make on the site — for example, a chosen currency or a display preference — so that the site behaves consistently across visits. Functional cookies are activated only with your consent.
Marketing. Where relevant, marketing cookies are used to measure the performance of any campaigns we run and to reduce repetitive display of the same message. Marketing cookies are activated only where you have explicitly enabled them.
Typical cookies you may see
The exact list of cookies varies as we update the tools we use. Typical categories include:
- A cookie that stores your cookie-banner choice, so that we do not ask again on every visit. Necessary. Duration: up to 12 months.
- A session cookie set by the web server to keep the site responsive during your visit. Necessary. Duration: session (cleared when you close the browser).
- Anti-abuse cookies set to detect automated traffic. Necessary. Duration: session or up to 30 days.
- Analytics cookies set by our analytics provider to distinguish unique visitors and page views. Analytics. Duration: typically up to 13 months.
- Functional cookies that remember a preference you have set — for example, a display option. Functional. Duration: typically up to 12 months.
Third-party embeds (for example, an occasional video or map) may set their own cookies when you interact with them. Those cookies are governed by the third party’s own policy.
How to manage your cookies
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page. This reopens the cookie banner and lets you enable or disable individual categories.
You can also manage cookies at the browser level. Most modern browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored for a site.
- Delete some or all of them.
- Block all cookies, or all cookies from third parties.
- Set the browser to warn you before a cookie is set.
The exact steps depend on the browser you use. Look for “Privacy”, “Cookies” or “Site settings” in the browser preferences. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Where your browser sends a “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an instruction not to activate analytics, functional or marketing cookies without a separate opt-in.
Changes
We update this Cookies policy whenever the set of cookies used on the site changes materially. The “Last updated” line above shows the current version year. For any question about a specific cookie, please contact us through the contact form on the website.
