Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Growwipeeco.ddd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on growwipeeco.world. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Australia does not have a standalone "cookie law" equivalent to the EU ePrivacy Directive. However, where cookies and similar technologies collect or disclose personal information (as defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) apply — particularly APP 1 (open and transparent management), APP 3 (collection), APP 5 (notification), APP 6 (use and disclosure), and APP 7 (direct marketing). We also comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) where cookie data is linked to commercial electronic messaging. For visitors from the EEA/UK, GDPR requirements also apply where relevant.

Strictly necessary cookies are used without consent where reasonably required for the website to function.

3.3 Marketing Cookies
These cookies may track visitors across websites to measure advertising effectiveness or deliver relevant content. They are placed only after you click "Accept All" or enable Marketing in Cookie Settings. Use of marketing cookies linked to direct marketing must also comply with APP 7 and the Spam Act 2003.

4. How We Obtain and Manage Your Consent
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears in accordance with APP 5 notification requirements. You may:
- Accept All — Enable all cookie categories.
- Reject — Disable analytics and marketing cookies; only strictly necessary cookies remain active.
- Cookie Settings — Choose categories individually via toggle switches.
Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage (cookieConsent and cookieConsentDate). You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing site data for growwipeeco.world or revisiting Cookie Settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings:
Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Strictly necessary cookies will remain active regardless of other preferences.
5. Retention Periods
Cookie retention periods are listed in Section 3 above. Consent records are stored for up to 12 months, after which we will request renewed consent. Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months or sooner if you withdraw consent. We destroy or de-identify cookie-related personal information when it is no longer needed, consistent with APP 11.
6. Third-Party Cookies and Cross-Border Disclosure
Some cookies are set by third-party services embedded in our pages (such as Google Maps on our contact page). Third-party providers may process personal information outside Australia. Under APP 8, we take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle information in accordance with the APPs. Review third-party privacy policies:
