7. Website and cookies
This website sets no advertising cookies. The only analytics tool is Google Analytics, which we use to see which pages help visitors and how many people call us or ask for directions from the site. It sets a first-party cookie that tells returning visitors from new ones; it does not collect your name, email address or contact details, and we do not use it for advertising. If you would rather not be counted, the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or your browser's cookie settings will stop it.
If you arrive from an online advertisement, the advertising platform may add a click reference to the link. We keep that reference in your browser for up to 90 days so we can see which advertisement brought visitors to the store.
The rates feed and the store map are loaded from our own servers and from Google Maps; they do not use cookies to track you.
8. Direct marketing
Marketing communications are opt-in, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
9. Access and correction
You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you. Contact our Privacy Officer using the details in section 12 and we will respond as required under the Privacy Act.
