Cookie Policy

This cookie policy describes the website of AUD99 Australia Guide. The site files do not set cookies by themselves and do not include analytics, advertising, consent-management, affiliate-tracking, or third-party embed scripts that would create additional browser storage.

Cookies in the website

The website does not contain code that creates first-party cookies. It does not include login sessions, shopping carts, personalised account areas, saved preferences, newsletter sign-ins, comment systems, or other site functions that require a browser cookie.

The site also does not include named analytics vendors, advertising networks, social-media widgets, video embeds, or affiliate-tracking platforms. Because those services are not part of the site files, this policy does not invent cookie names, retention periods, vendor lists, or advertising identifiers.

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website or related service can ask a browser to store and return on later requests. Cookies can support functions such as authentication, security, preferences, analytics, advertising, attribution, or consent records. Similar purposes can also be served by local storage, pixels, tags, or other browser technologies.

This explanation is general context. It does not mean that AUD99 Australia Guide currently uses those technologies. The site files contain no such scripts or storage instructions.

No analytics or advertising cookies

No analytics package or advertising platform is included in the website. That means the site files do not intentionally create cookies for audience measurement, conversion tracking, retargeting, behavioural advertising, cross-site profiling, or campaign attribution.

If analytics or advertising is added, this cookie policy should be updated before those tools are used. The revised policy should identify what is actually used, what each tool does, whether consent is required in the intended publishing context, and how visitors can manage relevant choices.

No affiliate-tracking cookies

The website does not include affiliate tracking scripts, redirectors, click identifiers, or tracking pixels. Links on the site are not accompanied by a cookie mechanism that attributes a visitor to a registration, deposit, or other commercial event.

If affiliate technology is introduced later, the deployed cookie behaviour should be documented accurately. The policy should not claim that affiliate cookies are absent after tracking has been added.

Hosting and infrastructure behaviour

A hosting provider, reverse proxy, security service, content-delivery network, or other infrastructure layer added during deployment may use technical mechanisms that are not present in the site files. Whether that happens depends on the actual hosting configuration.

The final hosting environment should also be checked because static site files alone do not guarantee a completely cookie-free setup. If infrastructure or security tooling sets cookies or similar identifiers, this page should be updated to describe them accurately.

Browser controls

Browsers generally provide controls for viewing, blocking, or deleting cookies and other stored site data. Those controls operate at the browser level and may affect functionality on sites that rely on cookies. On AUD99 Australia Guide, there is currently no account or interactive feature that depends on a cookie.

If functionality is added later, visitors should be given information that matches the actual technology in use rather than generic instructions that imply a feature exists when it does not.

The website does not include a cookie banner, consent-management platform, preference centre, or script that records a visitor’s consent choice. That is intentional because the site files do not include analytics, advertising, affiliate-tracking, or embed technologies that would need to be described as active here.

A consent banner should list only technologies that the site actually uses. If technologies requiring consent or preference controls are introduced later, the consent interface and this policy should be configured from the real deployed setup so that the categories, vendors, purposes, and controls match one another.

Local storage and similar browser technologies

This policy uses the term cookies in the familiar sense, but browser storage can also include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, software development kits, or similar identifiers. AUD99 Australia Guide does not intentionally use those technologies for analytics, advertising, cross-site tracking, account persistence, or behavioural profiling.

If a tool using a different storage method is introduced later, this policy should be updated accordingly. The important question is what the deployed technology actually stores or transmits and for what purpose, not only whether the mechanism is literally named a cookie.

This page should be updated before adding analytics, advertising, embeds, consent-management tools, affiliate tracking, login systems, personalised features, comment systems, or any other technology that sets or reads cookies or comparable browser storage.

The update should list real tools and real purposes only. Cookie names, vendors, durations, and categories should not be copied from a generic template unless they match the deployed site.

AUD99 Australia Guide does not set cookies through its current site files. It includes no analytics, advertising, affiliate-tracking, consent or embed scripts. If that changes, this cookie policy should be updated before the new tools are used.
