Cookie Policy – GovernAble Pty Ltd (ABN 72 690 471 651)
Last updated: 11 September 2025
Who we are: GovernAble Pty Ltd (“GovernAble”, “we”, “us”).
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage, and SDKs. Some cookies are first-party (set by us); others are third-party (set by our service providers).
2. Why we use them
We use cookies to:
- Make the site work (security, load balancing, session management).
- Measure performance (aggregated analytics, page load and usage).
- Improve features (remember preferences).
- Support marketing (only if/when you enable these).
3. Cookie categories
- Strictly necessary – essential for security, network management, and accessibility. These run without consent.
- Performance/Analytics – help us understand how the site is used (page views, session length).
- Functionality – remember choices (e.g., language).
- Advertising/Targeting (if used) – tailor content or measure campaign performance.
In Australia, cookies are regulated under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) when they involve personal information. Where cookies collect personal information (e.g., an IP address that could reasonably identify you), we handle it under our Privacy Policy. You can manage non-essential cookies via Cookie Preferences at any time.
4. Overseas storage and processing
Our website is hosted by a provider with data centres in the United States (Arizona). As a result, cookie-derived data (including IP addresses) may be stored or processed in the United States. We take reasonable steps (contractual and technical) to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
5. Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary – Essential for the site to function and stay secure (e.g., session management, load balancing, fraud/CSRF protection, consent storage). These run by default and can’t be switched off in our systems because they are required to deliver pages and services you request.
- Performance / Analytics – Help us understand how the site is used (e.g., page views, time on page, error rates, page load). We use these to improve content and diagnose issues. Data is aggregated or pseudonymised where possible. You can turn these off in Cookie Preferences.
- Functionality – Remember choices you make (e.g., language/region, form preferences) to provide a more personalised experience. Disabling these may affect some features or your saved preferences.
- Targeting / Advertising – Used to measure campaigns and (where applicable) tailor content or ads, including conversion measurement. These are off by default and set only if you enable them in Cookie Preferences.
6. Third-Party Cookies
We may allow third-party service providers to place cookies on your device to collect information about your browsing habits. These third parties include analytics services such as Google Analytics and advertising partners.
7. Managing your cookie choices
- Cookie banner & preferences centre: On your first visit you’ll see our banner. You can Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage preferences. You can change your choices anytime via the Cookie Preferences link in the footer.
- Browser controls: You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.
- Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control: Our site does not currently respond to these signals, but you can use the preferences centre to control non-essential cookies.
8. How long we keep cookies
Cookies have different lifespans (from a session to 13 months). We periodically review our cookie inventory and refresh or remove cookies as needed.
9. Updates to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in technology, our services, or legal requirements. We’ll post the updated version with a new “Last updated” date.
