Cookie Policy for Xerve Digital Pty Ltd

What Are Cookies?

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it, and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored; however, this may downgrade or 'break' certain elements of the site's functionality.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are used to provide a service that you use.

Disabling Cookies

You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser's Help for how to do this). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit. Disabling cookies will usually result in also disabling certain functionality and features of this site, such as user login capabilities. Therefore it is recommended that you do not disable cookies.

The Cookies We Set

• Account and Login related cookies: We use Firebase Authentication for managing user sessions. If you are an administrator logging into our site, we use cookies to remember that you are logged in. This prevents you from having to log in every single time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out.

• Anonymous User cookies: To provide a seamless experience, our site uses Firebase's anonymous authentication. This assigns you a temporary, anonymous user ID stored in a cookie, which helps us manage session state without requiring you to create an account. This is essential for certain site functions.

• Forms related cookies: When you submit data through a form such as those found on contact or onboarding pages, cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence, though we minimize this practice.

• Site preferences cookies: In order to provide you with a great experience on this site, we provide the functionality to set your preferences for how this site runs when you use it (e.g., theme preference). In order to remember your preferences, we need to set cookies so that this information can be called whenever you interact with a page that is affected by your preferences.

Third-Party Cookies

In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site.

• This site uses Google Analytics, which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web for helping us to understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit so we can continue to produce engaging content.

• Firebase services, which are part of Google, are used for authentication and database services. As mentioned, Firebase sets essential cookies to manage user sessions (both for logged-in admins and anonymous users) and security.

More Information

Hopefully, that has clarified things for you. As was previously mentioned, if there is something that you aren't sure whether you need or not, it's usually safer to leave cookies enabled in case it does interact with one of the features you use on our site.
