The practical bit

Cookie Policy

What cookies and similar browser storage we use, why we use them, and how your choices work — in plain English.

Policy version: 1.0

Effective date: September 7, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Aussie Koala uses cookies and similar browser storage on aussiekoala.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What cookies and browser storage are

Cookies are small pieces of information a website asks your browser to store. Similar technologies, such as local storage or session storage, can also remember a setting or help a service work. Some are needed for the website or a service you request. Others are optional and help us understand how the site is used.

Our categories

Necessary

Necessary technologies support core first-party website functions, the first-party Website Check, forms, security and the storage of your consent choice. They cannot be switched off where they are required to provide the site or a service you request.

Functional

This category is available for optional site features. No optional Functional service is currently verified as active.

Analytics

Analytics technologies help us understand aggregate site usage and interaction. Once Aussie Koala Consent is enabled, optional Analytics is intended to remain off unless you grant Analytics consent.

Marketing

No Marketing or advertising service is currently authorised as active on Aussie Koala.

reCAPTCHA may be loaded conditionally on protected form routes or when a protected form is used. Google may process data when providing reCAPTCHA for form protection. The service may use cookies, browser storage or technical signals as part of its security checks, and the exact behaviour can depend on the service and browser context. Cookies already associated with a visitor’s own Google account should not be understood as cookies created by Aussie Koala.

Your choices

Once Aussie Koala Consent is enabled, first-time visitors will be able to choose Accept all, Reject non-essential or Manage preferences. Optional categories are not preselected. Necessary technologies remain available where required for the website or a service the visitor requests.

You will also be able to reopen Cookie Preferences to change or withdraw your choice. Withdrawing Analytics consent is intended to stop future optional Analytics loading and events as far as the website and supported service controls allow. Your browser’s own cookie and storage controls remain available as well.
