Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Your cookie choice

You haven't made a choice yet. Analytics cookies stay off until you accept them.

This Cookie Policy explains how My Tender ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what they do, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. Websites also use similar technologies that save small pieces of information in your browser in much the same way. In this policy, "cookies" includes all of these technologies.

Cookies can be essential, meaning the website needs them to work properly, or optional, such as analytics cookies that help a business understand how its website is used.

2. How Australian and Queensland law applies

Australia does not have a separate law just for cookies. Where information collected through cookies identifies you, or could reasonably identify you, it is personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We handle it in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), including by being open about the cookies we use (APP 1), collecting only what we need (APP 3), telling you about collection when it happens (APP 5), using it only for the purposes described here (APP 6), and keeping it secure (APP 11). We follow the guidance of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) on online tracking, which treats information such as IP addresses, device identifiers and browsing activity as potentially personal information.

Queensland does not have a separate cookie law for private businesses. The Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld) applies to Queensland government agencies rather than to us, so the Privacy Act is the law that governs our use of cookies.

We don't turn on optional cookies until you agree. Our cookie banner gives you an equal choice to accept or decline, with no pre-ticked boxes, and declining does not stop you from using this website.

3. Essential cookies

These are needed for the website to work and to remember your cookie choice, so they are always on. They are not used for analytics or advertising.

Your cookie choice
Purpose
Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so we don't ask on every visit.
How long
Until you change your choice or clear your browser data. We ask again if this policy changes materially.
Website settings
Purpose
Settings the website needs to work properly, for example to send your enquiry when you submit the contact form.
How long
Until you clear your browser data.
Sign-in
Purpose
Only used if you sign in. Keeps you signed in so you don't have to log in on every page.
How long
Until you sign out or clear your browser data.
Intro animation
Purpose
Remembers that the website's opening animation has played, so it isn't shown again during your visit.
How long
Deleted when you close the browser tab.

4. Analytics cookies (only if you accept)

If you accept analytics cookies, we use analytics to understand how people use our site, such as which pages are visited and how long visits last. We use this to improve the website. If you decline, or haven't chosen yet, analytics are switched off and nothing is stored for analytics purposes.

Visit analytics
Purpose
A random code that groups information about your visit together: the page you opened and the website that referred you, how long your visit lasted, and actions such as clicking Log in or sending an enquiry. This helps us understand how the website is used so we can improve it.
How long
Until you decline analytics or clear your browser data.

5. What we don't use

  • No advertising or marketing cookies.
  • No tracking pixels or cross-site tracking.
  • We don't sell or trade information collected through cookies.

If we ever start using a new type of cookie, we will update this policy and ask for your consent where it is optional.

6. Service providers

We use trusted service providers to host this website, deliver its fonts and images, handle enquiries sent through our contact form and, if you accept, provide analytics. When your browser loads parts of the website from these providers, they receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details, as happens whenever a website loads content from another server. We don't allow them to use this website to place advertising or tracking cookies.

When you send an enquiry, a random code is attached to it so it can be processed. If you haven't accepted analytics cookies, we delete it from your browser straight away.

Some of these providers may process information on servers outside Australia. Where that happens, we take the reasonable steps required by APP 8, as explained in our Privacy Policy.

7. The My Tender client portal

This policy covers this website. The My Tender client portal uses essential cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to keep your account secure. The portal is covered by our Privacy Policy.

8. Your choices

  • Use the banner that appears on your first visit to accept or decline analytics cookies.
  • Change your mind at any time using "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page, or the button at the top of this page. If you withdraw consent, analytics stop and the analytics information stored in your browser is removed.
  • You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of this website, such as the contact form, may not work.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our website changes or the law changes. For example, the Australian Government released draft Privacy Act reforms in August 2026 that would strengthen consent requirements and clarify that online identifiers are personal information. If those or other changes affect how we use cookies, we will update this policy and, where needed, ask for your consent again. The current version will always be on this page with its last updated date.
