3. What cookies are

Cookies are small data files placed on or accessed through your browser or device when you visit a website or use an online service.

Cookies can help a service recognise your browser, maintain your session, remember your preferences and understand how features are being used.

Some cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

Cookies may be set by Circulure or by third parties that provide technology or services to us.

4. Similar technologies

In addition to cookies, Circulure may use other technologies that perform similar functions.

6. Why we use cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described below.

6.1 To operate the Services

These technologies may be used to:

load and display pages;
maintain navigation state;
process forms;
support requested features;
remember temporary information;
prevent duplicate actions;
maintain account sessions; and
provide essential platform functionality.

6.2 Authentication and account access

A technical or behavioural signal does not necessarily prove misconduct. Where appropriate, signals may be reviewed together with other information before enforcement action is taken.

6.4 Age assurance and jurisdiction controls

Where age assurance is required, Circulure may use limited session information, local storage, cookies or redirect state to:

connect a verification session to the correct account;
prevent unnecessary duplicate verification sessions;
return a user to Circulure after verification;
record whether a verification process was completed;
apply jurisdiction-specific onboarding rules;

which pages or features are used;
how users move through signup and onboarding;
where users encounter errors or drop out;
device and browser patterns;
page-loading performance;

detect broken links or routes;
monitor backend services;
measure performance;
investigate upload failures;

the referring person or partner;
a referral code;
campaign identifiers;
landing-page information;
referral dates;
registration events;
qualifying actions; and
commission or reward eligibility.

We may reject referral or affiliate attribution where we reasonably believe it resulted from:

self-referral;
duplicate accounts;
automated registrations;
cookie stuffing;
misleading promotion;
fraudulent conduct;
repeated account creation; or
another form of misuse.

6.9 Communications

Where permitted, Circulure or its communication providers may use limited technologies to determine whether:

an email was delivered;
an email bounced;
a link was selected; or
a message was opened.

You may opt out of non-essential marketing communications. Operational messages, including security notices, account confirmations and material service updates, may still be sent where necessary.

7. Categories of cookies and technologies

7.1 Strictly necessary

Strictly necessary technologies are required to operate the Services securely or provide a feature you have requested.

They may support:

authentication;
account sessions;
security;
fraud prevention;
load balancing;
form processing;
consent recording;
navigation; and
required verification processes.

These technologies cannot generally be disabled through Circulure’s cookie settings because the Services may not function properly without them.

You may be able to block them through your browser, but this may prevent you from signing in or using key features.

7.2 Functional

Functional technologies support optional features and preferences.

They may remember:

appearance mode;
language;
accessibility settings;
interface preferences;
selected city;
dismissed prompts; and
preferred feature settings.

Disabling functional technologies may cause settings to reset or some features to work less effectively.

7.3 Analytics and performance

Analytics and performance technologies help us understand how the Services are used and how well they operate.

They may collect:

page views;
feature interactions;
session duration;
broad device category;
browser category;
referring page;
general region;
error events; and
performance measurements.

Where these technologies are optional, they will be managed in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

7.4 Marketing and advertising

Marketing and advertising technologies may be used to measure or personalise promotions and campaigns.

These technologies are optional where consent is required.

7.5 Security and abuse prevention

Security technologies may be used to protect accounts, detect misuse and defend the Services from harmful or automated activity.

Where a technology performs both security and optional analytics or marketing functions, we will seek to separate those purposes where reasonably practical.

8. Information that may be collected

Depending on the technology and how you use the Services, information collected may include:

session identifiers;
authentication information;
consent status;
pseudonymous account references;
IP address;
browser type;
device type;

time zone;
approximate location;
referring URL;
referral or campaign code;
pages viewed;
features used;
links selected;
session duration;
form progress;
error events;
security events;
notification tokens;
appearance preferences; and
timestamps.

Circulure does not intend to store the following in ordinary cookies or browser storage:

passwords;
full payment-card details;
identity-document images;
age-assurance selfie images;
raw biometric templates;
complete dates of birth where unnecessary;
private-message contents;
privileged API keys;
service-role credentials; or
highly sensitive report evidence.

9. Session and persistent technologies

9.1 Session technologies

Session technologies usually expire when:

you close your browser;
the relevant tab is closed;
your session expires;
you sign out; or
the temporary purpose has been completed.

They may support navigation, authentication, security and temporary form state.

9.2 Persistent technologies

Persistent technologies remain for a defined period or until they are deleted.

They may remember:

appearance preferences;
consent choices;
accessibility settings;
language;
referral attribution;
trusted-session information; and
limited analytics identifiers.

Retention periods are determined according to the purpose for which the information is used.

11. Managing your preferences

You may manage optional cookies and similar technologies through the link available in the Circulure footer or privacy settings.

Available options may include:

Accept all, which enables all available categories;
Reject optional, which disables optional analytics and marketing technologies;
Necessary only, which permits technologies required for security and operation; and
Customise, which allows you to choose individual categories.

Changing your preferences usually affects future collection.

It may not automatically remove:

information already lawfully collected;
security logs;
aggregate information that no longer identifies you;
records needed to remember your preference;
information required for legal compliance; or
information retained for fraud prevention or dispute resolution.

12. Withdrawing consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent through .

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

After withdrawal:

optional technologies should stop operating for the withdrawn purpose;
existing optional cookies may be removed where technically supported;
third-party cookies may need to be removed through browser settings; and
necessary security and operational technologies may continue.

13. Browser and device controls

Most browsers allow you to:

view stored cookies;
delete cookies;
block cookies;
block third-party cookies;
clear local storage;
restrict cross-site tracking;
remove site permissions; or
receive notifications before cookies are stored.

The available controls vary by browser, operating system and device.

Blocking all cookies or browser storage may prevent you from:

signing in;
remaining signed in;
completing onboarding;
completing secure verification redirects;
saving appearance preferences;
submitting forms;
using accessibility settings; or
accessing other core features.

14. Global Privacy Control and similar signals

Some browsers and extensions send preference signals such as Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.

Legal and technical standards concerning these signals continue to develop.

Where required and technically supported, Circulure will take reasonable steps to recognise applicable signals.

These signals may not disable technologies required for:

authentication;
account security;
fraud prevention;
consent recording; or
delivery of a service you have requested.

15. Logged-out and logged-in use

15.1 Logged-out visitors

diagnose technical issues.

Optional marketing information will not be associated with an account unless permitted by applicable law and our disclosed practices.

16. Age-assurance technologies

Circulure may use an external age-assurance provider where age verification or age estimation is required.

The provider may use its own website, SDK, cookies, local storage, session technologies or device signals.

The process may involve:

a Circulure account reference;
a provider session identifier;
jurisdiction information;

an age band;
the assurance method used;
a provider session reference;
a failure or review status; and
limited audit information.

The provider’s privacy and cookie policies may also apply.

17. Third-party links and external websites

Circulure may contain links to third-party websites, services, resources or event pages.

When you leave Circulure:

the third party may use its own cookies or tracking technologies;
its privacy practices may differ from ours;
Circulure may not control those technologies; and
this Cookie Policy may no longer apply.

You should review the relevant third party’s privacy and cookie information.

18. Embedded content and social features

Circulure may include:

social-media links;
sharing controls;
maps;
videos;
external event resources;
embedded content; or
other third-party features.

A standard external link does not necessarily cause a third-party cookie to be stored.

Embedded content may allow the relevant third party to receive technical information when the content loads.

Where appropriate, we may use privacy-enhanced settings, consent controls or click-to-load features for optional embedded content.

19. International processing

Some service providers may process cookie-related information outside Australia.

The countries involved may depend on:

the provider;
its infrastructure;
your location;
the feature being used; and
provider configuration.

Further information about overseas handling and disclosures is available in the Circulure Privacy Policy.

Measures may include:

disabling unnecessary fields;
avoiding sensitive information in URLs;
excluding message contents from analytics;
avoiding full email addresses in tracking identifiers;
avoiding full dates of birth in browser storage;
masking or pseudonymising identifiers;
limiting retention periods;
separating security from advertising purposes; and
reviewing technologies before deployment.

21. Security

Circulure takes reasonable steps designed to protect information collected through cookies and similar technologies.

These measures may include:

encrypted connections;
secure cookie attributes;
session expiry;
session revocation;
role-based access controls;

Where a person is not eligible to maintain an account:

optional tracking should be limited;
compliance and security records may be retained for a limited period;
anti-circumvention information should be proportionate; and
retained information should be minimised and protected.
