Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 May 2026  |  Applies to: stormuplink.info

This Cookie Policy explains how StormUplink Media Pty Ltd ("StormUplink", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on stormuplink.info (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle your personal information.

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, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their site. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses or malware.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on the Site:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function correctly. They enable core features such as navigation and access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have requested (such as remembering your cookie consent preference) cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any information that could be used for marketing purposes.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Site — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and where visitors come from. This information is collected in an aggregated, anonymised form and is used solely to improve the Site's content and performance.

You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

2.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

2.4 Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on the Site may include embedded content (such as video players or social sharing buttons) from third-party providers. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third parties:

3. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies can be either session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). The specific duration for each cookie we use is noted in the table below.

Cookie Name Type Purpose Duration
cookieAccepted Strictly Necessary Stores cookie consent preference Persistent (localStorage)
_ga Analytics Distinguishes unique users (Google Analytics) 2 years
_gid Analytics Distinguishes users within a session 24 hours
_gat Analytics Throttles request rate to Google Analytics 1 minute

4. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies). You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:

Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of the Site. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the Site to operate.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. The Site currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to such requests. We will update this policy if a standard is established.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
