Cookie Policy

How our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Last updated: 8 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Whitfield Excavations Pty Ltd (ABN 56 618 129 285) uses cookies and similar technologies on whitfieldexcavations.com.au. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, remember preferences and, on many sites, to track and profile visitors for advertising. "Similar technologies" include browser local storage, which a website can use to keep a small amount of data in your browser without setting a cookie.

2. Our approach

We keep our use of these technologies to an absolute minimum:

  • Our website does not set advertising, marketing or cross-site tracking cookies.
  • We do not use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel) that place cookies or build visitor profiles.
  • We do not embed social media widgets or third-party maps that set cookies. Directions are provided via an ordinary link to Google Maps that only opens if you choose to click it.
  • The only data stored in your browser by our site is a single preference noting that you have dismissed our cookie notice.
