COOKIE POLICY

Last updated: August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how inExTerra inc uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit inexterra.org.

We use cookies and related technologies primarily to help our website function properly, improve security and performance, understand how visitors use our website and improve the experience we provide.

We believe that website visitors should understand what information is collected through these technologies and have reasonable control over how they are used.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Statement & Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.


1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other internet-connected device when you visit a website.

Cookies can allow a website to:

  • remember information about your visit;
  • maintain certain website functions;
  • recognise returning visitors;
  • remember preferences;
  • improve website performance;
  • understand how the website is being used; and
  • support website security.

Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information associated with cookies may sometimes be linked with other information that can identify an individual.


2. WHY INEXTERRA INC USES COOKIES

We may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes.

These include:

Website functionality

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to operate correctly.

They may help with functions such as navigation, forms, sessions, security and other technical features.

Website security

Cookies or similar technologies may assist with detecting suspicious activity, protecting forms and maintaining the security and integrity of the website.

Website performance

We may use technologies that help us understand whether our website is operating effectively and identify technical problems.

Website analytics

Where analytics technologies are enabled, cookies may help us understand how visitors interact with the website, such as:

  • which pages are visited;
  • how visitors navigate the website;
  • how long visitors spend on particular pages;
  • whether content is being accessed successfully; and
  • how website performance can be improved.

Analytics information is generally used in aggregated or statistical form to help us improve the website.

Remembering preferences

Some cookies may remember choices or settings so that you do not have to provide them repeatedly.

Embedded content

Some pages may contain content provided by third parties, such as videos, maps, social media content or other interactive features.

Those third parties may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is displayed or accessed.


3. TYPES OF COOKIES

Cookies can be classified in different ways.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions.

They may support:

  • website security;
  • navigation;
  • forms;
  • session management;
  • accessibility features; or
  • other essential technical functions.

Because these cookies may be necessary for the website to operate, they may not always be capable of being disabled through a cookie preference tool.


Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices or preferences you have made.

For example, they may help remember settings relating to how the website operates or displays information.

These cookies are generally designed to improve the user experience.


Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.

They may provide information such as:

  • visitor numbers;
  • page views;
  • navigation patterns;
  • referring websites;
  • device or browser information;
  • approximate geographic information; and
  • website performance information.

Analytics information may be aggregated or analysed statistically.

Where analytics services are provided by third parties, those providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.


Marketing or Advertising Cookies

inExTerra inc does not currently intend to use cookies for behavioural advertising simply because you visit our website.

If this changes in the future, we will review our privacy and cookie practices and provide appropriate information and controls where required.

Where third-party services introduce marketing or advertising technologies, those technologies may operate according to the relevant provider’s own policies and settings.


4. FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Cookies may be placed by the website you are visiting or by another service operating through that website.

First-party cookies

These are cookies placed directly by inexterra.org or by services operated on our behalf.

They may be used for website functionality, security, preferences and other legitimate website purposes.

Third-party cookies

These are cookies placed by external providers whose services are incorporated into or linked with our website.

For example, third-party cookies may potentially be associated with:

  • analytics;
  • video platforms;
  • maps;
  • social media;
  • payment services;
  • embedded content;
  • security services; or
  • other website functionality.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.

We do not control the privacy practices of third-party providers and encourage you to review their policies where relevant.


5. SESSION AND PERSISTENT COOKIES

Cookies may also be classified according to how long they remain on your device.

Session cookies

Session cookies generally exist only while you are using a website.

They are usually deleted when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until they are manually deleted.

They may be used to remember preferences or recognise a returning visitor.

The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose and the service that places it.


6. SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are not the only technology that may be used to understand website activity.

Depending on the technologies implemented on inexterra.org, similar technologies may include:

  • pixels;
  • tags;
  • scripts;
  • local storage;
  • web beacons; and
  • other technical identifiers.

For simplicity, this Cookie Policy generally refers to these technologies collectively as “cookies and similar technologies.”


7. INFORMATION THAT MAY BE COLLECTED

Depending on the cookies and technologies in use, information may include:

  • IP address;
  • device type;
  • browser type;
  • operating system;
  • approximate location;
  • pages visited;
  • links or buttons interacted with;
  • date and time of visits;
  • referring website;
  • website preferences;
  • session information; and
  • other technical or usage information.

Most of this information is technical or statistical in nature.

Where information collected through cookies can reasonably identify an individual, it will be handled as personal information in accordance with our Privacy Statement & Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.


8. COOKIES AND PERSONAL INFORMATION

Cookies do not necessarily identify you directly.

However, information collected through cookies may sometimes be combined with other information, including information you voluntarily provide through our website.

Where this occurs and the information constitutes personal information, we will handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Our Privacy Policy explains more broadly:

  • what personal information we collect;
  • why we collect it;
  • how we use it;
  • when we disclose it;
  • how we protect it; and
  • your rights regarding that information.

9. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Our website may use third-party services that place or access cookies.

These services may change as our website develops.

Potential examples include services used for:

  • website analytics;
  • embedded video;
  • maps;
  • social media;
  • event registration;
  • donations and payments;
  • security;
  • website performance; and
  • other functionality.

Where third-party cookies are used, the relevant provider may collect information directly through its technology.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies and cookie-management mechanisms.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy and cookie information provided by those services where relevant.


10. EMBEDDED CONTENT

Some pages on inexterra.org may display content from external services.

For example, a page may contain:

  • an embedded video;
  • a social media feed;
  • an interactive map;
  • an online registration form;
  • a fundraising or payment component; or
  • another external service.

When you interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may collect information or place cookies on your device.

The third party’s privacy policy and terms may apply to that interaction.


11. HOW YOU CAN CONTROL COOKIES

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • view cookies stored on your device;
  • delete existing cookies;
  • block cookies;
  • block third-party cookies;
  • allow cookies only from particular websites; or
  • receive a notification before cookies are stored.

You can usually find these settings in your browser’s Privacy, Security or Site Settings section.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how some websites function.

In particular, disabling necessary cookies may prevent certain features of inexterra.org from operating correctly.


12. COOKIE PREFERENCES

Where the website provides a cookie preference or consent mechanism, you can use it to manage the categories of cookies that are not essential to website operation.

Your available choices may depend on:

  • the technologies currently used on the website;
  • your location;
  • the applicable legal requirements; and
  • the services integrated into the website.

Where a consent mechanism is provided, your preferences may be stored so that the website can remember your choices.


13. DO NOT TRACK

Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting.

Because there is currently no universal technical standard requiring websites to respond to every Do Not Track signal in the same way, the website may not respond to such signals in all circumstances.

Where applicable, cookie preference tools and browser controls provide more direct ways of managing cookie settings.


14. GOOGLE, META AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES

inExTerra inc may from time to time use third-party services provided by organisations such as analytics, social media, video, mapping, payment or other technology providers.

The specific providers used by the website may change.

This Privacy Policy does not represent that any particular third-party service is currently installed on inexterra.org unless that service is actually configured on the website.

Where a third-party service is introduced that uses cookies or similar tracking technologies, we will review its privacy implications and update this Cookie Policy where appropriate.


15. CHILDREN AND COOKIES

Our website is not specifically designed to collect information from children through cookies.

Where our programs or events involve children or young people, additional privacy and safeguarding arrangements may apply.

Parents, guardians and carers should be aware that third-party online services embedded in websites may have their own data collection practices.


16. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Some third-party technology providers may operate internationally.

As a result, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may potentially be processed or stored outside Australia.

The location of processing will depend on the specific services used by the website.

Where required, we will take reasonable steps to address applicable Australian privacy requirements relating to overseas disclosures.

Further information is provided in our Privacy Statement & Privacy Policy.


17. SECURITY

We take reasonable steps to protect information associated with the operation of our website.

However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Cookies themselves are generally not a security risk when used appropriately, but users should maintain appropriate security on their devices and browsers.

If you believe that you have identified a security problem involving inexterra.org, please contact us.


18. CHANGES TO OUR USE OF COOKIES

The technologies used by websites can change over time.

inExTerra inc may introduce, remove or modify cookies and similar technologies as we:

  • improve our website;
  • introduce new services;
  • improve security;
  • introduce new functionality;
  • analyse website performance; or
  • change our technology providers.

When significant changes affect this Cookie Policy, we will update this page.

The “Last updated” date at the top of this policy indicates when it was most recently reviewed or amended.


19. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

Updates may be made to reflect:

  • changes in technology;
  • changes to our website;
  • changes in third-party services;
  • changes to our privacy practices;
  • changes in applicable law; or
  • improvements to the information we provide to website visitors.

The latest version will always be published on this page.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically.

The two policies should therefore be read together.
