1. Introduction
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and—when you consent—understand how visitors navigate pages. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. Data controller
Cartilagevita, 145 Old Pittwater Road, Brookvale NSW 2100, Australia, controls cookie-related processing. Contact: assist@cartilagevita.world, phone +61 2 9905 3000.
3. Types of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as security, network management, accessibility preferences, and storage of your cookie consent choice. They cannot be disabled through our banner because the site would not operate correctly without them. Legal basis: legitimate interests and, where applicable, exemption from consent requirements under the ePrivacy Directive.
3.2 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies collect aggregated information about page views, scroll depth, and referral sources. We use this data to improve navigation and content clarity. Analytics cookies are placed only after you select Accept All or enable the Analytics toggle in Cookie Settings. Legal basis: consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by reopening settings from the footer link or clearing site data.
3.3 Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may measure whether visitors arrived from educational campaigns and help us avoid showing duplicate messages. We do not use marketing cookies to infer health status or sensitive categories. They require consent and are disabled by default when you choose Reject.
4. Similar technologies
We may use local storage to remember cookie preferences with the key tdde_cookie_prefs. Unlike cookies, local storage remains until cleared manually. We do not use local storage for cross-site tracking.
5. Cookie duration
- Session cookies: deleted when you close the browser.
- Consent record: thirteen months from last update.
- Analytics identifiers: up to twenty-six months unless you clear them earlier.
- Marketing identifiers: up to ninety days unless a shorter period is configured.
6. Third-party cookies
When analytics or marketing tools are enabled, trusted processors may set their own cookies subject to their policies. We review subprocessors for data protection commitments and limit data sharing to what is necessary. A current list is available on request via assist@cartilagevita.world.
7. Managing preferences
On your first visit, a banner offers Accept All, Reject, and Cookie Settings. Strictly necessary cookies remain active. Analytics and marketing toggles reflect your choice. You may change preferences later by clearing cookies and revisiting the site or contacting us to reset stored consent.
8. Browser controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality. Consult your browser documentation for instructions on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile equivalents.
9. International visitors
Visitors from the European Economic Area and United Kingdom receive the consent banner before non-essential cookies load. Australian visitors receive the same controls for transparency. Regardless of location, we apply data minimization and retention limits described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Your rights
Where GDPR applies, you have rights of access, erasure, restriction, and objection regarding personal data collected through cookies. Submit requests to assist@cartilagevita.world. We respond within thirty days.
11. Security
Cookie data is transmitted over HTTPS. We prohibit mixed content on our pages. Access to analytics dashboards is restricted to trained personnel with multi-factor authentication where supported.
12. Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy when tools or legal requirements change. The hero section displays the current revision date. Material changes will prompt renewed consent where required.
