Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to remember information about your visit. They are used across most websites for purposes ranging from keeping you logged in, to measuring site performance, to remembering your preferences.

In addition to cookies, websites may also use browser local storage — a similar mechanism that stores data directly in your browser, separate from traditional cookies. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to a server with every request.

This policy covers both cookies and local storage used on the TALATA Digital Services website (talata.com.au).

2. What We Store

We deliberately keep our browser storage use minimal. Here is a complete list of what our website stores on your device:

That's it. Our own website code sets exactly one item in browser storage, and it contains no personal information — only the text "dark" or "light".

3. Third-Party Scripts and Services

Our website loads resources from the following third-party providers. These providers may set their own cookies or storage independently of TALATA. We do not control their practices — please refer to each provider's own privacy and cookie policy for details.

We do not currently use advertising, tracking, or social media cookies. If this changes, this policy will be updated and the change date revised.

4. What We Do Not Do

To be explicit about our approach:

• We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies
• We do not sell or share browsing data with third parties for marketing purposes
• We do not use fingerprinting or cross-site tracking technologies
• We do not currently run Google Analytics or any other analytics platform on this site
• We do not store any personal information (name, email, phone) in browser cookies or local storage

5. How to Control or Delete Storage

You are in full control of what your browser stores. You can clear our local storage item at any time without affecting the function of the site — you will simply revert to the default dark mode on your next visit.

Clearing Local Storage

In most browsers, you can clear local storage by opening Developer Tools (F12 or Cmd+Option+I), navigating to the Application or Storage tab, and selecting Clear Site Data. You can also clear all local storage via your browser's Privacy or History settings.

Blocking Cookies from Third-Party CDNs

If you wish to prevent third-party CDN providers from setting cookies, you can:

• Enable "Block third-party cookies" in your browser privacy settings
• Use a browser extension such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger
• Use a privacy-focused browser such as Firefox or Brave, which block third-party storage by default

Please note that blocking CDN resources may prevent fonts and animations from loading correctly on our site.

Browser-Specific Instructions

• Mozilla Firefox — Clear cookies and site data
• Apple Safari — Manage cookies

6. Changes to This Policy

If we add new tools, analytics platforms, or third-party integrations that change how we use cookies or browser storage, we will update this policy and revise the "Last updated" date. We will not introduce tracking or advertising cookies without first updating this policy.
