Cookie policy

Effective date: 11 November 2026

This cookie policy is part of Ausbeds' privacy policy. It covers the use of cookies between your device and our site. We also provide basic information on third-party services we may use, which may also use cookies as part of their service. This policy does not cover their cookies.

If you don't wish to accept cookies from us, you should instruct your browser to refuse cookies from https://ausbeds.com.au. In such a case, we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired content and services.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit. It typically contains information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the cookie's purpose, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.

Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g. logging in), track site usage (e.g. analytics), store your user settings (e.g. time zone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (e.g. advertising, language).

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are usually referred to as first-party cookies. They typically only track your activity on that particular site.

Cookies set by other sites and companies (i.e. third parties) are called third-party cookies. They can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.

Types of cookies and how we use them

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are crucial to your experience of a website, enabling core features like user logins, account management, shopping carts, and payment processing.

We use essential cookies to enable certain functions on our website.

Performance cookies

Performance cookies track how you use a website during your visit. Typically, this information is anonymous and aggregated, with information tracked across all site users. They help companies understand visitor usage patterns, identify and diagnose problems or errors their users may encounter, and make better strategic decisions in improving their audience's overall website experience. These cookies may be set by the website you're visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. They do not collect personal information about you.

We use performance cookies on our site.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies are used to collect information about your device and any settings you may configure on the website you're visiting (like language and time zone settings). With this information, websites can provide you with customised, enhanced, or optimised content and services. These cookies may be set by the website you're visiting (first-party) or by third-party services.

We use functionality cookies for selected features on our site.

Targeting/advertising cookies

Targeting/advertising cookies help determine what promotional content is most relevant and appropriate to you and your interests. Websites may use them to deliver targeted advertising or limit the number of times you see an advertisement. This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of content presented to you. These cookies may be set by the website you're visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. Targeting/advertising cookies set by third parties may be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.

We use targeting/advertising cookies on our site to measure whether our ads in ChatGPT lead to orders. We don't use them to show you ads on other websites.

Advertising measurement cookies

These cookies are set on ausbeds.com.au. The two OpenAI cookies are set by OpenAI's measurement pixel; the third is set by our website to keep a copy of the ad click identifier.

See our Privacy Policy for what we share with OpenAI when you place an order.

How can you control our website's use of cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies on our Website. You can set or amend your cookie preferences in your web browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies for ausbeds.com.au. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for features such as the shopping cart, so blocking them may stop those features working.

As each web browser is different, please consult the instructions provided by your web browser (typically in the "help" section). If you choose to refuse or disable cookies, you may still use the Website, though some of the functionality of the Website may not be available to you.

How often will we update this cookie policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect any changes to the cookies and related technologies we use, or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
