Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how AC Wise uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit acwise.au and how you can manage available preferences.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored or accessed on your device when you use a website. Cookies and similar technologies can help websites operate, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a service, maintain security and measure the effectiveness of advertising.

2. Technologies covered by this policy

This policy applies to cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage, session storage, software development kits, analytics identifiers and similar technologies used by AC Wise or third-party service providers.

3. Categories of cookies and similar technologies

Strictly necessary

These technologies support functions required for the AC Wise website and platform to operate. They may be used for security, authentication, form functionality, session management, fraud or abuse prevention, preference storage and other essential platform functions. Where a technology is strictly necessary for a service you request, it may not be possible to disable it through AC Wise cookie settings.

Analytics and performance

AC Wise currently uses a cookieless analytics tool to understand website traffic and performance, such as pages visited, referral sources and approximate location information. This tool does not use cookies, does not identify you individually and does not track you across other websites, so it operates regardless of the cookie preferences below. If AC Wise introduces analytics technology that does use cookies or similar identifiers in the future, that technology will be brought under this consent category and the cookie preferences control below.

Marketing and advertising

Where enabled and subject to your consent choices, AC Wise uses advertising and measurement technologies to understand campaign performance, measure conversions and improve the relevance of advertising. These technologies may be provided by third-party advertising platforms. Whether particular marketing technologies are active may change as AC Wise's advertising activities change.

Functional technologies

AC Wise may use technologies that remember choices or enable additional website functionality. These may support features such as saved preferences, enhanced forms, user-interface settings or other optional functions.

4. Third-party services

AC Wise may use third-party technology providers for services including analytics, advertising, website functionality, security, payments, hosting, communications and other operational services.

Where these providers use cookies or similar technologies, their handling of information may also be governed by their own privacy practices.

5. Consent and cookie settings

When you first visit AC Wise you are shown a cookie banner where you can accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or manage preferences to choose by category. Marketing technologies only load once you have given consent for that category. AC Wise's current analytics technology does not use cookies and is not controlled by this preference. See section 7 below.

You can review or change your preferences at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the AC Wise website footer. Your browser settings may also allow cookies to be blocked or deleted. Disabling certain technologies may affect some website functionality.

6. Advertising technologies

AC Wise may use advertising platforms to measure campaign performance or understand actions taken after someone interacts with an advertisement.

Where used, these technologies may receive information about browser or device activity, referral information, page interactions or conversion events.

This policy does not guarantee that a specific advertising technology is permanently active or inactive. The actual technologies deployed remain consistent with AC Wise's technical configuration and consent controls.

7. Analytics technologies

AC Wise uses analytics services to understand website traffic, engagement and performance. Analytics information may include device, browser, referral, page-view, interaction and performance information. The analytics technology AC Wise currently uses operates without cookies or similar identifiers and does not require a consent choice to run. Where AC Wise uses an analytics technology that does rely on cookies or similar identifiers, that technology is brought under the cookie preferences described in section 5.

8. Payment technologies

Where AC Wise uses a third-party payment provider, that provider may use cookies or similar technologies required to securely provide its payment services. Payment providers may operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

9. Personal information

Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information in some circumstances, or may become personal information when combined with other data. The AC Wise Privacy Policy explains how AC Wise handles personal information.

10. Changes to technologies

The technologies used by AC Wise may change as the website, marketing activities, service providers and platform functionality evolve. This policy is reviewed whenever significant tracking, analytics, advertising or consent technology changes are introduced.

11. Changes to this policy

AC Wise may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The current version displays its last-updated date above.
