Cookies Policy
Last updated: 5 September 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Braintric Electrical And Automation Engineering Pty Ltd (Braintric, we, us or our) uses or may use cookies, browser storage, pixels, tags, scripts and similar website technologies when you visit braintrical.com.au. The purpose of this Policy is to explain what these technologies are, why they may be used, what categories may apply, how long they may remain on a device and what choices are available to website visitors.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file or data item that a website can store on, or access from, a browser or device. Cookies can help a website recognise a browser, maintain a session, remember a preference, protect forms, detect technical problems or understand how pages are used. Cookies may be:
- session cookies, which generally expire when the browser session ends; or
- persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period unless they are deleted earlier.
2. Similar technologies
Websites may use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies. These can include local storage, session storage, tracking pixels, tags, scripts, software identifiers and embedded third-party code. For simplicity, this Policy uses the term cookies to include these comparable technologies where appropriate.
3. Why Braintric may use cookies
We do not use cookies merely because a technology is available. Cookie use should remain proportionate to the actual functionality and measurement needs of the website. Braintric may use cookies for legitimate website purposes, including to:
- operate essential website functions;
- maintain security and prevent malicious activity;
- process website forms;
- maintain browser sessions;
- remember website preferences;
- understand website performance and technical errors;
- measure general website traffic and interaction; and
- understand the effectiveness of marketing or referral activity where such tools are enabled.
4. Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support functions required for the website to operate securely or provide a service requested by the visitor. These may include cookies used for security, session management, form processing, load balancing, fraud prevention or storage of consent choices. Because these technologies may be essential to website operation, blocking them can cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.
5. Preference cookies
Preference cookies can remember choices made by a visitor, such as language, region, display settings or other website preferences. Braintric will only use preference technologies where the website actually provides a function that requires or benefits from remembering those choices.
6. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the website. Depending on the tool, analytics may provide information about page views, visitor flows, device categories, approximate traffic sources, session duration, performance issues and technical errors. Analytics information is used to improve website structure, usability, performance and content. Braintric should not represent that a particular analytics provider is in use unless that provider is actually implemented on the live website.
7. Advertising and campaign measurement cookies
Where Braintric uses paid advertising or campaign-measurement tools, cookies or similar technologies may be used to understand whether an advertisement or campaign resulted in a website visit or enquiry, to measure conversions or to manage campaign audiences. Advertising-related technologies will only be described as active where they are actually present on the live website.
8. First-party and third-party cookies
A first-party cookie is set by the website domain a visitor is using. A third-party cookie or technology is provided by an external service whose code is embedded in or connected to the website. Examples can include analytics platforms, embedded maps, video players, payment interfaces, live-chat tools or advertising platforms. Third-party providers may process data under their own terms and technology settings. Braintric does not control every aspect of a third party’s independent data processing.
9. Cookie duration
Cookie duration varies according to purpose. Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies can remain for a period determined by the relevant website function or provider. Braintric aims to avoid retaining cookie identifiers for longer than reasonably necessary for their stated purpose.
10. Cookie register
The live website may change over time as functionality is added, removed or updated. Accordingly, the most accurate cookie register is the one generated from the current website configuration. The register should be reviewed when major website functionality or tracking tools change. Where Braintric publishes a detailed cookie register, it should identify, where reasonably practicable:
- the cookie or technology name;
- the provider;
- the purpose;
- the category;
- whether it is first-party or third-party; and
- the duration or expiry period.
11. Consent and cookie controls
Where a cookie-management or consent tool is implemented, visitors may be given controls to accept or reject categories of non-essential cookies. A visitor’s available choices depend on the technologies actually deployed and the legal or technical requirements applying to those technologies. Where consent is requested for a non-essential category, Braintric will not describe that category as mandatory merely for convenience.
12. Browser controls
Browser controls operate independently of Braintric and may affect website functionality. Most browsers allow users to manage cookies through browser settings. Depending on the browser, users may be able to:
- view cookies stored on the device;
- block selected cookies;
- block third-party cookies;
- delete existing cookies; or
- configure automatic deletion.
13. Blocking cookies
Blocking all cookies can reduce website functionality. Forms, security features, session functions, embedded services or preference settings may not operate as intended if relevant cookies or browser-storage functions are disabled. Where practical, visitors who do not wish to allow non-essential cookies should use the website’s available consent controls rather than blocking every browser function indiscriminately.
14. Embedded content
Braintric may embed content or tools supplied by third parties, such as maps, videos, forms or other interactive services. An embedded provider may use cookies or similar technologies when its content is loaded. The provider’s own settings and terms may apply to that interaction. Where a third-party service is not essential to the website, Braintric may use consent controls or other technical measures where appropriate to manage when that service loads.
15. Do Not Track and global privacy signals
Some browsers and extensions send technical signals such as Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. Website responses to these signals depend on the site’s technical configuration and the tools being used. Braintric will not claim to honour or ignore a particular signal unless the live website has been technically configured and verified to do so.
16. Changes to cookie use
Braintric may change website technologies when the site is redesigned, new functionality is introduced, a provider is changed or a tool is removed. This Cookies Policy may therefore be updated to keep it consistent with the live website. The update date shown at the top of the Policy identifies the current published version.

A cookie is a small data item that a website can store on or access from a browser or device. Cookies can support security, sessions, preferences, analytics and other website functions.
No. Many cookies are used for essential website functions such as security, session management or form processing. Advertising cookies are a separate category and should only be described as active where they are actually used.
A session cookie generally expires when the browser session ends. A persistent cookie remains for a defined period unless it is deleted earlier by the user, browser or provider.
Yes. Most browsers provide controls to block or delete cookies. Where Braintric provides a cookie-consent tool, you may also be able to manage categories of non-essential cookies through that tool.
Not always. Some essential functions, forms, embedded tools or security features may depend on cookies or browser storage and may not work correctly if all such technologies are blocked.
Yes, if third-party functionality is embedded or connected to the site. Examples can include analytics, maps, videos, forms or advertising tools. Whether a particular provider is active depends on the current website configuration.
It depends on the cookie. Some expire at the end of the browsing session, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period. Where Braintric publishes a detailed cookie register, the duration should be identified for each active technology where reasonably practicable.
The most accurate information comes from the current live website configuration and any cookie register or consent panel displayed on the site. You may also contact Braintric if you need clarification about a particular website technology.
