Cookie Policy
What cookies and similar technologies we use on peoplease.ai, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how peoplease.ai ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
We operate under Australian law and apply the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) to information collected through cookies that is, or can reasonably be linked to, personal information.
2. What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies allow a site to remember things about your visit, such as your preferred settings, whether you are logged in, or how you arrived at the site.
We also use related technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixels or tracking scripts. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as "cookies".
3. The cookies we use
We aim to keep cookie use minimal. Our site does not show advertising, and we do not sell or share personal information with advertising networks. The cookies in use fall into the categories below.
Strictly necessary
These cookies are essential for the site to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in a form.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| consent_state | Remembers your cookie preferences so we do not re-ask you on each visit. | First-party | 12 months |
| session_id | Maintains continuity if you fill in a contact form or open a modal. | First-party | Session |
Functional
These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as theme (dark or light) and accent colour. They make your experience more personal but are not required for the site to work.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| theme_pref | Remembers your preferred light or dark theme. | First-party (local storage) | 12 months |
| accent_pref | Remembers your preferred accent colour. | First-party (local storage) | 12 months |
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site in aggregate, so we can improve the experience. We configure these tools to avoid collecting more information than necessary, and we do not combine analytics data with information that identifies you personally without your consent.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _pa_session | Counts unique visits and measures page performance in aggregate. | First-party | 30 days |
| _pa_pageview | Anonymous page-view counter; does not identify you personally. | First-party | Session |
Third-party embeds
Some pages may embed content from third parties (for example, a calendar booking widget or a video player). These third parties may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. We try to limit the use of such embeds and will list specific providers here if and when they are added.
4. How we use the information
We use cookie data to:
- Make the site work correctly.
- Remember your preferences across visits.
- Understand which pages are useful and which are not.
- Diagnose technical issues and improve performance.
We do not use cookie data to build advertising profiles, and we do not share it with advertising networks.
5. Managing your cookies
You can control cookies at the browser level. Most browsers let you:
- See what cookies are stored and delete them individually or in bulk.
- Block third-party cookies by default.
- Block all cookies (note: parts of the site may not work correctly if you do this).
- Open a private or incognito window, which discards cookies when closed.

6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no consistent industry standard for how DNT should be honoured. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we keep our cookie use minimal regardless of DNT preferences.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time as our site or applicable laws change. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be communicated through our website.

This policy is provided as a working template. It is not legal advice. The exact cookies and trackers in use on your site should match this list — update the tables when you add or remove analytics, embeds, or marketing tools. A qualified Australian privacy lawyer should review the final version before publication.
