This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) describes what cookies are and how Ethical Foundations (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses them on the ethicalfoundations.com.au website and any of its products or services (collectively, “Website” or “Services”).

You should read this Policy to understand what type of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used. It also describes the choices available to you regarding accepting or declining the use of cookies. For more details on how we use, store, and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data stored in text files saved on your computer or other devices when websites are loaded in a browser.

They are widely used to remember you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”).

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used during your visit to the Website and expire when you close the web browser.

Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences within our Website and remain on your desktop or mobile device even after you close your browser or restart your computer. They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for you while visiting our Website or using our Services.

Cookies may be set by the Website (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third-party cookies”). These third parties can recognise you when you visit our website and others.

What type of cookies do we use?

Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies allow us to offer you the best possible experience when accessing and navigating our Website and using its features. For example, these cookies let us recognise that you have created an account and have logged into that account to access the content.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies let us operate the Website and our Services based on your choices. For example, we will recognise your username and remember how you customized the Website and Services during future visits.

Analytical cookies

These cookies enable third-party services and us to collect aggregated data on how our visitors use the Website for statistical purposes.

These cookies do not contain personal information such as names and email addresses and are used to help us improve the website's user experience.

Advertising cookies

Advertising cookies allow us and third parties to serve relevant ads to you more effectively and help us collect aggregated audit data, research, and performance reporting for advertisers.

They also enable us to understand and improve the delivery of ads and to know when certain ads have been shown to you.

Your web browser may request advertisements directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set their cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their website.

Although we do not use cookies to create a profile of your browsing behaviour on third-party sites, we use aggregate data from third parties to show you relevant, interest-based advertising.

Social media cookies

Third-party cookies from social media sites (such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) let us track social network users when they visit our Website, use our Services, or share content by using a tagging mechanism provided by those social networks.

These cookies are also used for event tracking and remarketing purposes.

Any data collected with these tags will be used by our privacy policies and those of social networks.

We will not collect or share any personally identifiable information from the user.

Do we use web beacons or tracking pixels?

Our emails may contain a “web beacon” (or “tracking pixel”) to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email.

We may use this information to determine which of our emails are more attractive to users and to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them.

When you delete the email, the pixel will be deleted.

If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should read the email in plain text view or with images disabled.

What are your cookie options?

If you don’t like the idea of cookies or certain types of cookies, you can change your browser’s settings to delete cookies that have already been set and to not accept new cookies.
