Cookies

For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. This helps us to present the next most relevant piece of information you have requested – some website’s call this optimised experience (buzzword, anyone?); we just refer to it as the best way possible to get you the most relevant information you have requested.

To do this, a site will create files known as cookies – which are small text files – and we place this on your device. These cookies are designed to allow the website to recognise its users on subsequent visits, or to authorise other website pages to recognise you for a purpose – for instance, to remember your user ID and to help you navigate between pages more efficiently. Hopefully this will make your experience of the Tic:Toc site much smoother and more intuitive.

So no one can be sneaky, our online service is bound by the provisions of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles. As logic has it, please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. When you go to other websites from here, we advise you to be aware and read their own privacy policy. You can read our privacy policy here.

Tic:Toc connects with social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. If you choose to "like" or "share" information from this website through these services (and we really hope you do), you should review the privacy policy of that service. If you're a member of a social media site, the interfaces may allow the site to connect your visits with other personal information. Tricky, hey?

Besides eating the traditional kind at Tic:Toc HQ, Tic:Toc collects a number of cookies from its users for various reasons, not least to track our own performance. Mainly, to assist in improving your overall experience of the site. Amongst other things, the cookies we use allow us to calculate how many visitors we have (anonymously, of course) – and how long they stay on our site.

We do our utmost to respect users’ privacy. We use these cookies to monitor and improve our services. We believe that your experience of the site would be adversely affected if you opted out of the cookies we use.

We do want you to stay, but Que Sera.

Generally, you have the option to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is issued or reject all cookies. Visit the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu on your browser to change settings.

By continuing to use our site, you agree to the placement of cookies on your device. If you choose not to receive our cookies, we cannot guarantee that your experience will be as fulfilling as it would otherwise be. Blah! So, it’s best not to change. After all, we’ve gone to a lot of trouble.
