Cookie Policy
How and why we use cookies on the AutoCloser platform.
Last updated: March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how AutoCloser Pty Ltd (“AutoCloser”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses them on our platform, and your choices regarding their use.
By continuing to use the AutoCloser platform, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be “session cookies” (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies can also be “first-party” (set by us directly) or “third-party” (set by a third-party service we use).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
| Type | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the platform to function. These cannot be disabled. | Login sessions, security tokens, user authentication |
| Functional | Remember your preferences and settings to improve your experience. | Language preferences, saved search filters |
| Analytics | Help us understand how users interact with the platform so we can improve it. | Pages visited, time on site, traffic sources |
| Performance | Monitor the technical performance of the platform and identify issues. | Page load times, error tracking |
| Third-party | Set by third-party services we use, such as sign-in providers and analytics tools. | Google sign-in, Google Analytics |
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to operate. Without these cookies, certain features — such as logging in to your account, creating listings or sending messages — would not function correctly.
Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the platform, they cannot be disabled. They do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for the feature to work (for example, keeping you logged in during a session).
Examples of essential cookies we use:
- Session authentication cookie (keeps you logged in)
- CSRF protection token (protects against cross-site request forgery)
- Security and fraud prevention cookies
4. Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use analytics tools to help us understand how users interact with the platform. This helps us identify areas for improvement and ensure the platform performs reliably.
Analytics data is collected in an aggregated and anonymised form wherever possible and is not used to identify you personally. We may use third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics, whose use of data is governed by their own privacy policies.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the platform are set by third-party services that we integrate with, such as:
- Google — if you use “Sign in with Google”, Google may set cookies on your device in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy;
- Analytics providers — tools used to measure platform usage and performance.
We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend you review the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies for more information.
6. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. The steps to do this vary depending on which browser you use. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Opting Out of Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the AutoCloser platform. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without impacting your ability to use core features such as logging in.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the platform following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
