Cookie policy

// Last logged: 1 July 2026

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. We use them sparingly. This policy sets out what we use and how you stay in control.

1. The cookies we use

Essential

These keep the site working — remembering your cookie choice and keeping pages secure. They can't be switched off because the site relies on them.

Preference

These remember choices you make, such as dismissing the cookie notice, so you don't see it every visit.

Analytics

These help us understand, in aggregate, which coverage Australian readers find useful. The data is anonymised and never used to identify you.

2. Managing your choice

On your first visit we ask whether you'd like all cookies or essential-only. You can change your mind any time by clearing this site's browser storage, which brings the notice back.

3. Browser controls

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect how parts of the site behave.

4. Third-party cookies

Some features, such as our analytics provider, may set their own cookies. We keep these to a minimum and choose privacy-respecting providers where we can.

5. Updates

We may revise this policy as our tools change. The "last logged" date above always reflects the current version.

6. Questions
