This Cookie Policy explains how Emera Facility Services Pty Ltd (ABN 72 644 583 595) ("Emera", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website located at emerafs.com.au (the "Website"). This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more generally.
1. Definitions
1.1 A "cookie" is a small text file placed on a user's device by a website, which enables that website to store or retrieve information about the user's device, preferences or prior activity.
1.2 References in this Policy to "cookies" include similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, software development kits and device identifiers, to the extent those technologies perform an equivalent function.
1.3 "Necessary cookies" means cookies that are strictly required for the delivery of the Website or a service expressly requested by the user. "Optional cookies" means all other cookies described in clause 3.
2. Consent and legal basis
2.1 We set necessary cookies on the basis that they are required to deliver the Website and any service a user expressly requests. Consent is not sought for necessary cookies.
2.2 Optional cookies are set only where the user has given consent through the consent notice presented on first visit to the Website, or has subsequently indicated a preference in the Website's cookie settings.
2.3 A user may withdraw consent at any time by using the Website's cookie settings or by deleting cookies through their browser. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
2.4 Where cookies collect personal information within the meaning of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), that information is handled in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles and our Privacy Policy.
3. Categories of cookies used
3.1 Necessary cookies are used to route requests, maintain session integrity, record cookie consent preferences, and protect online forms against automated abuse. These cookies are retained for a maximum period of 6 months.
3.2 Analytics cookies are used to measure Website traffic in aggregate, including pages viewed, referral sources and approximate geographic region derived from truncated IP address. These cookies are retained for a maximum period of 6 months.
3.3 Functional cookies are used to retain information entered into a form in the event that submission fails, and to record media playback preferences. These cookies are retained for the duration of the browsing session or such longer period as is stated in the Website's cookie settings.
3.4 We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising, cross-site tracking, audience segmentation or the creation of marketing profiles, and we do not permit third parties to do so through the Website.
4. Third party cookies
4.1 Certain cookies described in clause 3 are set by third party service providers engaged by us to deliver analytics and media hosting functions on our behalf. A current list of those providers is available on request from privacy@emerafs.com.au.
4.2 Where a third party sets a cookie through the Website, that party's own privacy and cookie policies apply to its handling of the resulting information. We do not control the practices of third parties and accept no responsibility for them.
4.3 Media embedded from third party platforms is loaded only after the user has consented to the relevant optional cookie category.
5. Management and disablement of cookies
5.1 A user may accept, reject or withdraw consent to optional cookies at any time using the cookie settings available on the Website.
5.2 Most browsers allow a user to block or delete cookies through the browser's settings. Instructions differ between browsers and are available from the relevant browser provider.
5.3 Users should note that blocking or deleting necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Website from functioning, including the submission of enquiry and site visit request forms. Deleting cookies will also delete any recorded consent preferences, and the consent notice will be presented again on the user's next visit.
6. Amendment of this Policy
6.1 We may amend this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes to our service providers, or changes in applicable law.
6.2 The version number and the date shown at the head of this Policy indicate when it was last amended. Continued use of the Website after an amendment takes effect constitutes acceptance of the amended Policy, subject to the consent requirements in clause 2.
