What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to ensure websites function properly, enhance user experience, and provide information to the site owners.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Equim8 Group Pty Ltd) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by third parties are called "third-party cookies," which are used to enable third-party features like advertising and analytics.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for various reasons, including:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for our website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to your actions, such as logging in or filling out forms.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are most or least popular and how visitors move around the site.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your login details or language preferences. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
• Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain the state of your session across pages.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device even after you close your browser and are used to remember your preferences for future visits.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) or advertising networks. We do not control the dissemination of these cookies.
