1. INTRODUCTION
This Cookie Policy explains how Par Taps Pty Ltd (ABN 45 006 974 947) (“we”, “us” or the “Company”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at https://partaps.com.au (also accessible via https://partaps.com) (“this site”).
This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy (https://partaps.com.au/privacy-policy), which describes how we collect, use and protect your personal information more broadly.
2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a web page server to identify and interact more effectively with your browser. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie.
In some cases, cookies may collect and store personal information about you. We extend the same privacy protections to information gathered via cookies as to information collected through other means.
3. TYPES OF COOKIES
This site uses two types of cookies:
Persistent cookies are stored in your browser’s cookie folder and remain after you close your browser. They may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to this site. These cookies have an expiry date set by the server and will remain until that date or until you delete them.
Session cookies are held temporarily in your browser’s memory and are deleted when you close your browser or shut down your device. They do not collect information from your device and are typically used to manage your session while you navigate the site.
4. HOW WE USE COOKIES
This site uses cookies to:
Remember your preferences for using this site;
Manage the sign-up process when you create an account with us;
Recognise you as logged in while you remain so, avoiding the need to log in again on each page;
Facilitate e-commerce transactions, ensuring your order is retained between pages during checkout;
Show relevant notifications based on your account or subscription status; and
Remember details submitted through online contact forms.
Many of these cookies are removed when you log out, but some may persist so that your preferences are remembered for future visits.

6. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
In addition to our own cookies, third parties may place cookies through this site. These third parties and their purposes include:
6.1 GOOGLE ANALYTICS
If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics uses cookies to collect pseudonymous data (an identifier for your browser, not your name) about how visitors use this site, including pages visited and time spent on them. This helps us understand how the site is used and improve it. Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC, with servers located primarily in the United States.

6.2 GOOGLE ADS
If you accept advertising cookies, Google Ads may use cookies to show you relevant advertising on Google, YouTube and other websites based on your previous visits to this site, and to measure whether our advertising led to an enquiry or purchase.

6.3 OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE
Par Taps is active on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and TikTok. When we publish a post on Instagram it is also shared to our Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and TikTok pages so that our content reaches our audience across each platform.
Importantly, this activity happens on those platforms not on partaps.com.au. We do not embed Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag or any other social media tracking technology on this site. As a result, no cookies are set by Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok or YouTube when you visit partaps.com.au. If you click through from this site to one of our social media pages, that platform’s own cookies and privacy policy will apply once you arrive there. Their cookies are outside our control. If we add social media tracking technology or embedded social content to this site in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and our cookie consent banner before any new tracking technologies are deployed.[C1]
7. COOKIE CONSENT
When you first visit this site, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and advertising cookies. Essential cookies are always used, because the site cannot work without them. Analytics and advertising cookies are only set if you accept.
You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings on this site. If you withdraw your consent, we stop setting analytics and advertising cookies from that point.[C2]
8. MANAGING COOKIES
You can change your choice for analytics and advertising cookies at any time using the cookie settings on this site. You can also configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but settings can be modified at any time.
To manage cookies in common browsers:
Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
Safari: Preferences > Privacy
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data

Please note that declining or deleting cookies may limit some features and functionality of this site. For example, if you disable all cookies you may not be able to log in, add items to a cart, or complete a checkout.
9. OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
In addition to cookies, we and our third-party partners may use similar tracking technologies on this site, including:
Pixel tags (web beacons): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us and our advertising partners to track whether a page or email has been viewed and to record certain interactions.[C3]
Local storage: Similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity, used to store preferences and session data in your browser.
The same privacy protections described in this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy apply to information collected through these technologies.
