Cookie Policy

1. Scope of this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Dravelliongrandstay Pty Ltd uses cookies, local browser storage and similar technologies on the Dravelliongrandstay website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Our legal contact address is 80 Pyrmont St, Pyrmont NSW 2009, Australia.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files or similar identifiers that a website may store or read through a browser. Related technologies can include local storage, session storage, device identifiers, pixels or scripts that support comparable functions. These technologies may be used to remember settings, maintain security, support navigation, measure performance, or understand how a website is used.

3. Our current approach

The website is designed to operate primarily with local resources. Essential browser functionality may be used for basic operation, security, accessibility and form behaviour. We do not intentionally require third-party advertising trackers for the core website experience. If optional analytics, preference or marketing technologies are introduced, this policy and any relevant consent controls should be updated before those technologies are activated.

4. Categories of technologies

Strictly necessary

These technologies support functions that are necessary for the website to operate or for a user-requested feature to work, such as security, network management, accessibility, fraud prevention, load management or remembering a choice during a session.

Preferences

Preference technologies may remember choices such as interface settings or other optional preferences. Where such storage is not essential, it will be treated according to applicable consent requirements.

Analytics

Analytics technologies may help measure aggregated website usage, performance and navigation patterns. If analytics requiring consent are used, they should not be activated for users in jurisdictions requiring prior consent until that consent has been obtained.

Marketing

Marketing technologies, if ever introduced, may be used to measure campaigns or tailor promotional communications. Non-essential marketing technologies will be subject to the consent and transparency requirements that apply in the relevant jurisdiction.

5. First-party and third-party technologies

First-party technologies are set or controlled by the website operator. Third-party technologies are controlled by independent providers integrated into a website. Because third-party technologies can allow data to be processed outside our direct systems, we assess their purpose, necessity and privacy implications before use and provide additional notice or controls where required.

6. Session and persistent storage

Session technologies generally expire when a browser session ends. Persistent technologies remain for a defined period or until removed by the user. Retention should be limited to the period reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, taking into account security, user expectations, legal requirements and the sensitivity of the information involved.

7. Consent under GDPR and similar rules

Where the GDPR, ePrivacy rules or comparable laws require consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, those technologies should be disabled by default until valid consent is obtained. Consent should be specific, informed, freely given and capable of being withdrawn as easily as it was provided. Essential technologies that are strictly necessary for a service requested by the user may be treated differently where the law permits.

8. Managing your choices

You can usually manage or delete cookies and site storage through your browser settings. Blocking all storage may affect features that depend on session state, security or remembered preferences. If the website provides a dedicated cookie preference control, that control should be used to manage optional categories in addition to browser-level settings.

9. Do Not Track and browser signals

Browser privacy signals and industry standards continue to evolve. Where a legally binding signal or recognised opt-out mechanism applies to our processing, we will take reasonable steps to honour it. A generic "Do Not Track" setting may not have a universally defined legal effect in every jurisdiction.

10. Data generated by website technologies

Depending on the technology used, information may include a session identifier, browser or device characteristics, approximate region, timestamps, page requests, security events, preference values, or interaction data. We aim to minimise collection and avoid storing information that is not reasonably required for the relevant purpose.

11. Security and integrity

Storage mechanisms may be used to support security functions such as identifying suspicious activity, maintaining session integrity, limiting abusive requests, or protecting forms. These functions are designed to protect the website and its users and may be treated as necessary where permitted by law.

12. International processing

If a technology provider processes information in another country, relevant privacy-transfer requirements may apply. Where GDPR applies, we use an available lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards when required. Additional information about international transfers is provided in our Privacy Policy.

13. Retention

Cookie and similar-technology retention should be proportionate to purpose. Security and session identifiers may be short-lived, while a user preference may persist longer so the website can remember the choice. Optional analytics or marketing identifiers, if used, should have documented expiry periods and be reviewed periodically.

14. Changes to technologies

The technologies used by the website may change as functionality, security practices or legal requirements evolve. When a material change affects the categories or purposes described here, we will update this policy and, where required, refresh or obtain consent before activating newly introduced non-essential technologies.
