This policy sets out how Centra Networks Pty Ltd (Centra) use cookies.
What are cookies and how are they used?
A cookie is data sent from a website and stored on the user's computer by the user's web browser. The cookie is stored for a period of time.
Centra Networks uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Functional - to perform helpful functions on the Centra Networks, for example remembering your postcode so that you can see "distance from me" information.
- Authentication - to allow Centra to "remember" that you logged in as a member and provide you with member-only functions.
- Analytical - to allow Centra to analyse user behavior on an aggregate and anonymized level so that we can improve the site. We store information such as IP address and device ID for our internal business insights.
- Advertising - to allow Centra and third party advertisers to track your browsing behaviour across the site and serve advertising based on that behaviour.
- Marketing- to allow Centra to adjust its marketing strategies to user interests and to report on the success of campaigns.
Interest-based advertising
Interest based advertising means using behavioural information about a person online to show them advertising more likely to be of interest to them. It doesn't mean that you receive more advertising- just that what you see is more likely to be appropriate. For example, if you are browsing Cyber Security with cookies enabled, we may serve you with a Cyber Security advert where you would have otherwise seen a laptop advert.
The information Centra collects via cookies may be linked to other information Centra holds about a user, compiling a complete profile about Centra users' browsing, purchasing and other activities. This data may be used by Centra to provide personalised offers, marketing and advertising- including advertising across devices linked to the same IP address, or by third parties. Data may be shared with advertisers for these purposes.
We partner with third parties that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for the purpose of delivering more relevant advertising to you. Our partners use this information to recognise you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. For example, our partners may deliver an ad to you in your web browser based on a purchase you made in a physical retail store. Cookie data and other data may be sold, licensed or otherwise provided to third parties via advertising exchanges or other data sharing platforms for this purpose.
Your cookie options
You can change your cookie preferences for all websites by changing your browser settings. Most browsers automatically accept cookies so you may need to actively delete or block the cookies; www.allaboutcookies.org provides instructions. If you reject the use of cookies, some Centra Networks functions may not work properly. If you continue to use the Centra Networks without deleting or rejecting cookies, you agree that we can place these cookies on your device.
The actions above also do not prevent the use of advertising-specific device identifiers (for Android devices) and Advertising Identifiers (for Apple devices). For information about how to reset these identifiers, and other usage information, please contact your device manufacturer.
