Who we are
Australia Develops (australiadevelops.com.au) is an independent Australian property and urban development website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have — including in relation to advertising cookies.
Advertising and Google AdSense
This site may display advertisements served by Google and other third-party advertising vendors. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
You can read more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. When you log in, we also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.
Analytics
We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics and/or Google Search Console) to understand how visitors use this site. These tools may use cookies and similar technologies to collect anonymised usage data such as pages visited, time on site and referral source.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Embedded content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, subject to any data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
