Cookie policy
This page explains what cookies dotva.com.au uses, why, and how you can control them. We try to be specific instead of generic.
Our analytics cookies
We use first-party Google Analytics 4 to understand how our content is used, so we can write more of what helps you. It is enabled by default, with IP anonymisation. This is standard, privacy-light measurement for an Australian first-party site, and it sets the standard GA4 cookies:
- _ga – distinguishes unique users, 2 year expiry
- _ga_* – preserves session state, 2 year expiry
We run GA4 with IP anonymisation and Google Consent Mode v2. Advertising signals (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) are denied at all times. We do not use Google Ads remarketing on this site. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we automatically disable analytics for you.
What we do not set
We do not use:
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel
- Google Ads conversion tracking
- Microsoft Clarity session replay
- TikTok Pixel
- Hotjar or any other heatmap/replay tool
- Any advertising network's cookies
If we ever add any of these, we will document them here first and gate them behind your consent.
Third-party services
Some of the third-party services we use may set their own cookies on pages where they are embedded:
- Formspree – sets a session cookie on form submission to prevent spam. Cleared when you close the browser.
- Beehiiv (newsletter signup) – sets cookies on its embed iframe per its own policy.
- Loom – if we embed a Loom video, Loom may set its own cookies for playback.
How to opt out
You can switch our analytics off at any time, in any of these ways:
- Turn on Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser or a privacy extension – we honour it automatically.
- Use any ad/analytics blocker, or your browser's "block cookies" setting.
- Install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Email [email protected] and we'll walk you through it.
