This Cookie Policy explains how cookies, local storage and similar browser technologies may be used on The Australia Pharmacy website. The exact cookies present depend on the WordPress, WooCommerce, security, analytics, payment and marketing services enabled on the live site.
What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by a browser. Similar technologies can store preferences, session identifiers or other information needed for website features.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies can support functions such as the shopping cart, checkout, login sessions, security, fraud prevention, load balancing and user preferences. Blocking these may prevent parts of the store from working correctly.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies may remember choices such as account, display or wishlist preferences where those features are enabled.
Analytics cookies
If analytics services are enabled, cookies or similar identifiers may be used to understand traffic, device types and how visitors use the site. The site operator should configure analytics and consent controls consistently with applicable Australian privacy and electronic-marketing requirements.
Marketing cookies
If advertising or remarketing services are enabled, they may use cookies or similar technologies to measure campaigns or personalise advertising. These technologies should not be enabled without the disclosures and consent controls required by the laws that apply.
Third-party services
Payment gateways, embedded content, security providers, analytics services, social platforms or other plugins can set their own cookies. Their use is governed by the relevant provider’s policies as well as any obligations of the site operator.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let users block or delete cookies. Disabling essential cookies can stop cart, login, checkout or security features from working. Browser controls vary by device and browser.
Privacy
Where cookie data is personal information, its handling is also covered by the Privacy Policy and any Australian privacy obligations that apply to the business.
A cookie policy is only accurate when it matches the tools actually enabled. The site operator should re-audit cookies whenever plugins, analytics, advertising, payment or embedded services change.
