Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Overview

This page explains how https://aadlogisitcsau.com uses cookies and similar technologies. It lists the categories we use, what each one does, and how you can control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

We keep tracking to the minimum needed to run an online store and understand how the website is used. Only services that are actually installed on the website are listed here. If we add or remove a service, we update this page.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. It lets the website remember things between pages and visits, such as the contents of your cart or whether you have already seen the cookie notice. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and scripts that record how a page is used. On this page, “cookies” means all of these.

Cookies set by our own website are first-party cookies. Cookies set by another service loaded on our pages are third-party cookies.

Cookie categories

Essential

Essential cookies are needed for the website to function. They keep your cart together as you browse, keep you logged in if you have an account, protect forms against spam and bots, remember your cookie choices, and support security features. These cookies do not need consent because the website cannot work without them. They do not track you across other websites.

Preferences

Preference cookies remember choices you make on the website, such as a selected region, display settings or a dismissed notice. They make repeat visits more convenient. They are set only with your consent, and the website works without them.

Analytics

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are popular, where visitors arrive from and where they leave. We use this in aggregate to improve the site and our product information. Analytics scripts load only after you give consent. Currently this category may include Google Analytics (if enabled). If Google Analytics is enabled, it may set cookies to distinguish visitors and sessions, and data may be processed outside Australia.

Marketing

Marketing cookies are used to measure the effect of advertising and, in some cases, to show relevant advertising on other websites. Marketing scripts load only after you give consent. If no marketing service is installed, no marketing cookies are set, regardless of your choice.

Consent

When you first visit the website, a cookie notice asks for your choices. Essential cookies are set immediately because the site needs them. Preference, analytics and marketing cookies are not set, and their scripts are not loaded, until you accept them. You can accept all, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose by category.

Your choice is stored in an essential cookie so we do not ask again on every page. It is kept for a limited time, after which the notice appears again.

Changing your choices

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by opening the cookie settings link in the website footer. Withdrawing consent stops new non-essential cookies being set and stops the related scripts loading on later pages. It does not delete cookies already on your device. You can delete those through your browser settings.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, and warn you before a cookie is set. Blocking essential cookies may stop the cart, checkout or forms from working. Check your browser’s help pages for instructions.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a rejection of non-essential cookies. Do Not Track signals are not consistently defined, so we rely on your choices in our cookie notice rather than on that signal.

Server logs

Separately from cookies, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs that record IP addresses, request times, pages requested and browser type. These logs are used for security, troubleshooting and fraud prevention, and are kept for a limited period. They are covered by our Privacy Policy.

Changes

We review this page when we change the services installed on the website. The updated date at the top shows the current version.
