Cookie policy
What cookies are, which ones this site uses and how to manage them.
Hookups Australia is built as a static website. It does not use advertising cookies, behavioural tracking or third-party analytics by default.
Cookies are small text files that a website or its service provider places on your device. They can help a site remember your preferences, keep a session secure or measure how pages are used. This policy explains what you can expect here.
Our approach
We designed this site to need as few cookies as possible. There are no member accounts, shopping carts, personalised feeds or advertising networks. Reading an article does not require you to accept a tracking cookie.
We do not use cookies to build a profile of your interests across other websites, and we do not sell cookie data to advertisers or data brokers.
Cookies that may be set
Our hosting and security providers may set strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies. These are used to deliver pages reliably, protect the site from abuse and maintain server security. They are not used to identify you personally or to target advertising.
If we later add privacy-respecting analytics, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for consent before non-essential cookies are set. Any such tool would be configured to avoid collecting unnecessary personal information.
Third-party content
Our pages may link to external websites, such as support services or government agencies. Those sites may set their own cookies when you visit them. We do not control those cookies and recommend reading the destination site's cookie and privacy notices.
We do not embed third-party advertising, social media tracking pixels or affiliate scripts on our pages.
Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the window. The exact steps vary, so check your browser's help pages.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how some websites function, but this site is designed to remain readable without cookies. Blocking cookies does not prevent you from accessing our articles.

Do Not Track and similar signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting or similar privacy controls. Because this site does not run behavioural advertising or third-party analytics, there is no cross-site tracking to switch off. We still respect the privacy choices you make in your browser.
Changes and contact
If our use of cookies changes, we will update this page and the “last updated” date. If you have a question about cookies or privacy, email hello@hookupsaustralia.com or read our privacy policy.
