Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how Evcorp Commercial uses them on evcorp.com.au, and how you can manage them. This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember preferences, and to collect information about how the site is used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixel tags. In this Policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to all of these.
Cookies are either first-party (set by the site you are visiting) or third-party (set by another domain, typically an analytics or advertising provider). They may persist between visits (persistent) or be deleted when you close your browser (session).
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for four broad purposes:
- Strictly necessary — to make the Site work (for example, to remember your form input while you complete an enquiry, to maintain your session, and to ensure security).
- Performance and analytics — to understand how the Site is being used so that we can improve it (which pages are popular, where visitors come from, how long they stay).
- Functional — to remember preferences such as the last news headline shown in the news-wire ticker.
- Marketing — only if you have given your consent, to measure the effectiveness of any digital advertising and to retarget visitors who have shown interest in our services.
3. Cookies we set
The table below lists the cookies and similar technologies typically used on the Site. The exact set may change as we update our analytics and marketing tools; we will refresh this table accordingly.
| Name / category | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session token | Evcorp (first-party) | Maintains your session and CSRF protection while you are using the Site. | Session |
| Preferences | Evcorp (first-party) | Remembers minor UI preferences such as last viewed news category and consent state. | 12 months |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 (third-party) | Aggregated traffic analytics — pages viewed, session duration, country of visitor, device type. IP address is anonymised. | Up to 24 months |
| Google Fonts | Google (third-party) | Serves the Hanken Grotesk and IBM Plex Mono web fonts used on the Site. | Session |
We do not use cookies for credit decisioning or to access information that you have not voluntarily provided through our enquiry form.
4. Managing cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings — every major browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) lets you view, block or delete cookies on a per-site or global basis. Refer to your browser's help pages for instructions.
- Do Not Track — we respect the Do-Not-Track signal where it is reliably available from your browser.
- Analytics opt-out — to opt out of Google Analytics across all sites, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
If you block strictly-necessary cookies, parts of the Site may not function correctly (for example, the enquiry form may not submit).
5. Changes
We may update this Policy from time to time as we change our tools or as the law changes. The current version is the one published on this page at the date set out at the top.
