This policy document specifies how Blue Sky Creations Pty Ltd (ABN 68 612 240 990) referred to as “the company” and its management ensures its Cookies policy is transparent to web site users and is available for review on our web site.
In this policy we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and other similar technologies covered by:
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device.
The cookie allows the website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time.
Most Internet browsers support cookies; however, users can set their browsers to decline certain types of cookies or specific cookies. Further, users can delete cookies at any time.
We use cookies to learn how you interact with our content and to improve your experience when visiting our web site(s). For example, some cookies remember your language or preferences so that you do not have to repeatedly make these choices when you visit one of our websites. Additionally, cookies allow us to serve you specific content, such as videos on our website(s). We may employ the learnings of your behaviour on our website(s) to serve you with targeted advertisements on third-party website(s) in an effort to “re-market” our products and services to you.
We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website.
First-party cookies are cookies issued from the https://www.blueskycreations.com.au/ domain that are generally used to identify language and location preferences or render basic site functionality.
Third-party cookies belong to and are managed by other parties, such as the Company’s business partners or service providers. These cookies may be required to render certain forms, such as the submission of a Contact Request, or to allow for some advertising outside of the Company’s website.
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used to remember you during the course of your visit to the website, and they expire when you close the web browser.
Persistent cookies encompass all cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them, or your browser does, depending on the cookies expiration date. Persistent cookies have an expiration date written into their code, but the duration can vary. According to ePrivacy Directive, they should not last longer than 12 months, but in practise, they could remain on your device much longer if you do not take action.
Cookies are used to remember your preferences within the website and remain on your desktop or mobile device even after you close your browser or restart your computer. We use these cookies to analyse user behaviour to establish visit patterns so that we can improve our website functionality for you and others who visit our website(s). These cookies also allow us to measure the effectiveness of our site functionality and marketing.
For some of the functions within our websites we use third party suppliers, for example, when you visit a page with videos embedded from or links to YouTube. These videos or links (and any other content from third party suppliers) may contain third party cookies, and we encourage you to consult the privacy policies of these third party vendors on their websites for information regarding their use of cookies.
You can choose to reject or block all or specific types of cookies set by virtue of your visit to the Company’s website by clicking on the cookie preferences on our website(s). You can change your preferences for the websites and/or the websites of any third party suppliers by changing your browser settings. Please note that most browsers automatically accept cookies. Therefore, if you do not wish cookies to be used, you may need to actively delete or block the cookies. If you reject the use of cookies, you will still be able to visit our websites but some of the functions may not work correctly. You may also visit www.allaboutcookies.org for details on how to delete or reject cookies and for further information on cookies generally. By using our website without deleting or rejecting some or all cookies, you agree that we can place those cookies that you have not deleted or rejected on your device.
In general, there are three different ways to classify cookies: what purpose they serve, how long they endure, and their provenance.
These are the main ways of classifying cookies, although there are cookies that will not fit neatly into these categories or may qualify for multiple categories.
EU GDPR Recital 30 and UKGDPR Article 4(1) mentions cookies as “Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags. This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them.”
This is stating that cookies, insofar as they are used to identify users, qualify as personal data and are therefore subject to the GDPR. Companies do have a right to process their users’ data as long as they receive consent or if they have a legitimate interest.
To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the APA, NZPA, EUGDPR, UKGDPR and the ePrivacy Directive the Company undertakes the following:
Our Company uses the following cookies. This list may change at the Company’s discretion and without notice being provided.
