3.1 Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies for a particular website. Here are instructions for the main browsers used in Australia:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari (Mac/iOS): Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

3.2 Opting Out of Google Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
3.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting that signals a preference to opt out of behavioural tracking. We do not currently respond to DNT signals because no industry-wide standard yet exists, but we honour all explicit cookie-preference choices made through our cookie banner.
