Cookie Policy
Start playingThis policy explains how Spinalto uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on spinalto-au.com. We set cookies to keep the site working smoothly and to understand how people use it, and we want you to know exactly what that means for your visit.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a website. It allows the site to recognise your device on return visits and to remember choices you have made. Cookies do not give us access to your computer or any information beyond what you choose to share.
We use cookies for three main reasons: to keep the site functioning, to measure how well our content serves readers, and to show relevant information based on your interests. Some of these are essential; others require your consent.
The cookies we set
Our cookies fall into the following categories, and each serves a specific purpose.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security, language preference | Session or 12 months |
| Analytics | Traffic measurement, page-view counts, visitor behaviour | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing | Ad relevance, campaign tracking | Up to 12 months |
Necessary cookies keep the site usable. They remember whether you are logged in to leave a comment, which language you have chosen, and whether you have accepted this cookie notice. Without them, parts of the site would not work. You cannot opt out of these while using the site.
Analytics cookies tell us which pages are read most often, how long visitors stay, and where they arrive from. We use this to improve our content and to fix problems we would not otherwise notice. These cookies require your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time.
Marketing and advertising cookies help us show information that matches your interests and measure whether our content reaches the right audience. These also require your consent.
The analytics question
We use analytics services to understand how our content performs. These services process data such as your device type, the pages you visit and how long you stay. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
If you accept analytics cookies, the service sets a unique identifier on your device so it can distinguish one visit from another. The identifier contains no personal information and is not shared with other websites.
Scripts we do not control
Some pages embed content from third parties—video players, social-media widgets, or interactive tools. When you load a page containing such an embed, the third party may set its own cookies. We do not control these and cannot prevent them unless you block the embed entirely.
Third parties we work with include analytics providers and advertising platforms. Each operates under its own privacy policy, and you can review those policies on their own sites. We recommend reading them if you want to understand what data they collect.
Your options
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner that appears when you first visit spinalto-au.com. Your choice is saved for 12 months, and you can change it at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting the site.
You can also manage cookies directly in your browser. Every major browser allows you to block cookies entirely, delete existing ones, or set rules for which sites may use them. The steps differ slightly by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Blocking all cookies will prevent some features of this site from working. You will not be able to save preferences, and analytics will not function. The site remains readable, but the experience is less convenient.
Declining without breaking the site
If you decline non-essential cookies, the site continues to function. You can read every page, follow every link, and reach our contact form. What you lose is the tailored experience—your language preference may not persist between visits, and we lose the ability to measure which content helps readers most.
Necessary cookies remain active whether you consent or not, because they are required for basic functionality. Declining applies only to analytics and marketing cookies.
Revisions
We review this policy periodically and update it when our use of cookies changes. The date at the bottom of this page shows when it was last revised. Continued use of spinalto-au.com after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
If a change materially affects your privacy, we will notify visitors through a banner or an update to the cookie-consent prompt.
Contact
Questions about how we use cookies should be directed to [email protected]. We respond to enquiries within 48 hours during business days.
