Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 June 2026. This Policy explains how abetterleveling.com uses cookies and similar technologies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit and settings.
Which cookies we use
We use analytics cookies only. We do not place marketing, advertising tracking, or social media cookies.
Analytics cookies
_ga— distinguish unique visitors — up to 2 years._ga_*— maintain session state — up to 2 years.
Legal basis
Analytics cookies are processed based on consent, in line with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and applicable Spam Act 2003 provisions.
What data is collected
Analytics cookies may collect anonymised usage data such as pages visited, session duration, referral source, device/browser type, and anonymised IP-derived information.
Managing and deleting cookies
You can manage, block, or delete cookies in browser settings (for example: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Blocking cookies may affect some functionality.
Third-party transfers
Analytics processing may involve third-party infrastructure (for example Google Analytics) and storage outside Australia. We take reasonable steps to align handling with Australian Privacy Principles.
Changes
We may revise this policy from time to time. Updates are published with a revised date.
Cookie categories we do not use
We do not deploy advertising pixels, retargeting tags, social login cookies, or cross-site tracking cookies intended to build marketing profiles. Affiliate outbound links may set cookies on operator domains after you leave our Site; those cookies are controlled by the operator, not by abetterleveling.com.
First-party preference cookies
When you confirm age or save cookie choices, we may store small localStorage or strictly necessary cookies so you are not prompted on every visit. These values contain no payment data and are not sold to third parties.
Consent records
Where analytics requires consent, we record your choice (accepted or rejected) with a timestamp in browser storage. You may withdraw consent by clearing site data or using the reject control if shown again after clearing storage.
Google Analytics specifics
If enabled after consent, Google Analytics may process pseudonymous identifiers, page paths, referral URLs, device categories, and approximate geography derived from IP addresses. Google’s processing may occur in the United States or other regions. Google publishes data processing terms and opt-out tools at policies.google.com.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Our Site does not respond to legacy Do Not Track signals in a standardised way because industry practice remains inconsistent. Where legally required, we honour applicable Global Privacy Control signals for opt-out of sale/sharing; our analytics configuration is structured to avoid “sale” of personal information as defined under comparable privacy laws.
Impact of blocking cookies
Blocking all cookies may prevent the cookie banner from remembering your choice, disable analytics measurement, and require repeated age confirmation if localStorage is cleared. Core informational pages should remain readable without analytics cookies.
Updates and version history
We review this policy when analytics tools or legal obligations change. Prior versions are not archived publicly; the current page always reflects the active practices. Significant changes may trigger a renewed consent prompt.
