2. Local browser storage
Solar Jobs Australia currently uses first-party local browser storage for limited purposes.
Anonymous usage identifier
An anonymous first-party identifier may be retained for up to 180 days to help us distinguish visits.
Session information expires after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity, with a maximum session duration of approximately 24 hours.
Alert prompt preference
A local preference may be retained for up to 90 days so that we do not repeatedly display the same alert prompt after you dismiss it.
This information is stored on the Solar Jobs Australia origin and may be removed using your browser's storage controls.
3. First-party analytics
Solar Jobs Australia uses its own first-party measurement system.
Our current implementation does not use:
- Google Analytics;
- Google Tag Manager;
- Meta Pixel;
- Hotjar;
- Segment; or
- Mixpanel.
Our analytics system does not currently store your IP address as an analytics identifier.
We use this information to understand matters such as page usage, sessions, application journeys and general service performance.
4. Google Maps
Pages containing interactive maps may load Google Maps.
When Google Maps is enabled and loaded, your browser communicates directly with Google.
Google may receive technical information including IP address, browser information, referring page and map requests.
Google may also use its own cookies or browser storage according to its own practices.
Google Maps is only loaded on pages where map functionality is provided.
5. Cloudflare
Some website images and employer logos may be delivered through Cloudflare's network.
Cloudflare may receive ordinary network information required to deliver that content, including IP address, browser information, referring page and timestamp.
Solar Jobs Australia does not use these image requests to place advertising cookies.
6. Stripe
Payments take place through Stripe's hosted payment environment.
Solar Jobs Australia does not load a Stripe advertising or analytics script across ordinary pages solely because you have a Solar Jobs Australia account.
When you proceed to Stripe's payment environment, Stripe may use cookies and similar technologies according to its own practices.
7. Managing browser storage
Most browsers allow you to delete or block cookies and local storage.
Blocking functionality required for authentication or security may prevent account features from working.
Deleting local storage may cause Solar Jobs Australia to treat your browser as a new visitor for first-party measurement or prompt-preference purposes.
8. Changes
We may update this Notice where our technology or providers change.
If we introduce additional non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking technologies, this Notice will be updated and any consent required by applicable law will be obtained.
