3. Cookie Categories
3.1 Strictly Necessary
These cookies and localStorage entries are essential for the website to function, including storing your cookie consent choice. They do not require consent under Australian privacy guidelines because the website cannot operate without them.
3.2 Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — pages viewed, session duration, and navigation paths. Data is aggregated where possible. These cookies are placed only with your consent via our cookie banner.
3.3 Marketing and Advertising
Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, including Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing. These cookies are placed only with your consent. Without consent, you may still see our ads on other platforms, but they will not be tailored based on your visit to this site.
4. Cookies and Technologies We Use
- cookie_consent (localStorage) — Stores your cookie consent choices. Category: Strictly Necessary. Duration: Until cleared by user.
- _ga, _ga_* (cookie, if analytics consented) — Google Analytics identifiers for distinguishing users. Category: Analytics. Duration: Up to 24 months.
- _gid (cookie, if analytics consented) — Google Analytics session identifier. Category: Analytics. Duration: 24 hours.
- _gcl_au, _gcl_aw (cookie, if marketing consented) — Google Ads conversion and click tracking. Category: Marketing. Duration: Up to 90 days.
Analytics and advertising cookies listed above are examples of technologies we may deploy after consent. The exact cookies active at any time depend on your preferences and our current tooling.
5. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or open detailed settings. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser localStorage and revisiting the site to make a new choice, or by contacting us directly.
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality. For guidance, visit OAIC guidance on technology and privacy.
6. Third-Party Providers
Third-party services that may set cookies with your consent include Google Analytics and Google Ads (Google LLC, United States). These providers process data according to their own privacy policies. We select providers that offer data processing terms consistent with the Privacy Act and APP 8 cross-border disclosure requirements.

7. Legal Basis
Under Australian law, we collect personal information through cookies only where permitted — either because it is reasonably necessary for our functions (strictly necessary cookies) or because you have provided consent (analytics and marketing cookies). Under GDPR, the corresponding bases are legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) and consent (Article 6(1)(a)).
8. Data Retention
Cookie consent records in localStorage persist until you clear browser data. Analytics cookies typically expire after 24 months. Marketing cookies typically expire after 90 days. Specific retention periods for third-party cookies are defined by their respective providers.
9. Your Rights
You may withdraw consent, request access to personal information collected via cookies, request correction or deletion, and lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au. Contact us at welcome@removalearth.world. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
10. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, advertising tools, or legal requirements. The last updated date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
