Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 2025

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on the website https://smryxellphodlarn.world (the "Site"), and how you can control your cookie preferences. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data, including data collected via cookies.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as an analytics provider). They may also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or "persistent" cookies (they remain for a set period or until you delete them).

3. Legal basis for using cookies

Where cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the Site (e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie preferences), we rely on our legitimate interests or the necessity to perform our contract with you. For non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics or marketing), we ask for your consent before placing them. You can change your preferences at any time via our cookie banner or Cookie settings on the Site.

4. Categories of cookies we use

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They enable core features such as security, network management, accessibility and remembering your cookie consent choices. The Site cannot be used properly without these cookies. They do not store personally identifiable information in a way that is used for marketing. We do not ask for consent for strictly necessary cookies because they are required for the service you request.

  • Example: Cookie consent storage – stores your cookie preferences so we do not show the banner again unnecessarily.

4.2 Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g. pages visited, time on site, general location). The information is usually aggregated and anonymised and used to improve the Site and user experience. We use analytics cookies only with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via Cookie settings.

  • Purpose: To analyse traffic, improve site structure and content.
  • Retention: As per the specific tool (e.g. up to 24 months for typical analytics).

4.3 Marketing cookies

These cookies may be used to deliver relevant content or ads, to limit how often you see an ad, or to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. They are often set by our advertising or social media partners. We use marketing cookies only with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via Cookie settings.

  • Purpose: To personalise ads and measure ad performance.
  • Retention: Varies by provider; typically up to 12–24 months.

5. Other similar technologies

We may use technologies similar to cookies, such as local storage (e.g. localStorage for storing your cookie preferences), which allow us to store data on your device. Where such storage is used for purposes equivalent to non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics or marketing), we apply the same consent and transparency principles as for cookies.

6. How to manage cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

  • Cookie banner and Cookie settings: When you first visit the Site, you can choose "Accept all", "Reject" (optional cookies only), or "Cookie settings" to enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled.
  • Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, or to delete existing cookies. You can usually find these options in the "Settings", "Options" or "Preferences" menu. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
  • Third-party opt-out tools: Some third-party providers offer opt-out mechanisms for their cookies (e.g. industry opt-out pages). We can provide links to these where applicable on request.

7. Data retention

Cookie retention periods vary by type and provider. Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies are stored for the period set by the cookie (or until you delete them). Our cookie consent preference is stored locally for a period of up to 12 months, after which we may ask for your preferences again.

8. International transfers

Some cookie providers may process data outside New Zealand or the European Economic Area. Where we use such providers, we ensure that appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions) are in place as required by applicable data protection law.

9. Your rights

Under applicable data protection laws (including the GDPR where relevant), you have rights in relation to personal data collected via cookies, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object and, where applicable, data portability. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For more detail, see our Privacy Policy. To exercise your rights, contact us using the details in section 1.

10. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Where changes are significant, we may notify you via the Site or by email.
