Seven cookies run on this site. Some clear at the end of a session, others stay for up to two years. Each one has a specific job — keeping your session alive, saving your preferences, or helping us understand how the site is used. None of them collect sensitive personal data on their own. Full list below.
| Cookie | Purpose / Duration |
| session_id | Keeps your session active while browsing — Session |
| cookie_consent | Saves your cookie choice — 90 days |
| user_prefs | Holds basic site preferences — 1 year |
| _ga | Google Analytics, tracks unique visitors — 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics, tracks daily sessions — 1 day |
| ad_track | Logs ad interactions for performance data — 30 days |
| social_share | Powers social sharing on the site — Session |
Session cookies disappear the moment you close the browser. Longer-lasting ones like _ga and user_prefs stay on your device until their set period runs out or you clear them manually. You stay in control of all of them through your browser settings.
Why We Use Cookies
Cookies keep the site working and help us understand what content Australian players actually read. Five specific functions are covered:
- Navigation: session cookies keep browsing consistent as you move between pages
- Analytics: _ga and _gid show which content players read and where they leave
- Preferences: user_prefs means basic settings carry over between visits
- Ad performance: ad_track logs interactions with promoted content on the site
- Social features: social_share lets you post or link content without extra steps
None of these cookies are used to identify you personally or share your data with advertisers without your knowledge. Analytics data is processed in aggregate — it tells us how the site performs, not who you are.
Managing Cookies
Browser settings are where you handle this. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all have cookie controls under privacy or security settings. Turning off analytics cookies changes nothing about how the site looks or works. Turning off session cookies may affect how certain pages load. Clearing your browser history removes everything stored from this site in one go. On shared devices, doing that after each visit is worth considering.
Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics places two cookies on this site — _ga and _gid. They track visits in aggregate, not individually. We have no control over how Google handles that data on their end. Other third-party tools may be active depending on which features are running, and each operates under its own terms. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all sites, Google provides a browser add-on that blocks it entirely.
Updates to This Policy
When the cookie setup on this site changes, this page is updated. No notification is sent out — the new version goes live here. Australian players are encouraged to check this page periodically. Using the site after an update means the current version applies.
