Australian Dental Association Cookie Policy

Introduction

 The Australian Dental Association (“ADA”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) website including other communication channels such as direct mailing, mobile website, or mobile application related or connected thereto (collectively, the “Site”), uses a combination of cookies and various other tracking technologies to enhance security and deliver a customised experience and content.

 

What is a cookie?

 A cookie is a small piece of data that our site asks your browser to store on your computer, smartphone or another device you access the site with. A cookie allows us to keep track of services you used, record your preferences and, if you are a member, keep you logged into the site.

 

Types of cookies we use

The following types of cookies may be used when you visit the Site:

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies from Google Analytics and other analytic services are used to aggregate a range of metrics and measurements on visits to our site to help us understand the usage and behaviour.

Security Cookies

Security cookies are used for the specific task of increasing the security of the site. These cookies keep your user session ID to validate all form data submitted via POST requests, keeps you logged in (if you are a member) and helps to prevent attacks such as Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF).

First-party Cookies

First-party cookies are necessary to enhance your browsing experience by remembering your preferences and settings. You can choose to disable these cookies in your browser, but the site may not function properly. 

Third-party Cookies

Third-party cookies may be placed on your computer when you visit the site by companies that provide contents or services such as social media plugins and news contents to our site and could track and collect information about you for various purposes outlined in their respective privacy policies. Third-party cookies can be manually disabled in your browser.

 

Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we use similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies on the site to help us recognise who has visited particular pages and viewed emails we have sent. We also use Inspectlet to randomly record individual sessions to identify areas of the site where visitors struggle so we can make improvements. We do not record any pages with financial data such as membership payments.


Do I have to allow cookies and data files to use the site?

The use of cookies and browser-based data files by the ADA is primarily to support your use of our site (and if you are a member, your account with us), and disabling our ability to deploy them will prevent you from using our site to your best advantage. You may receive an error message on the page or, if you are a member, be automatically logged-out of your account.

However, if you wish to disable, delete, prevent or clear cookies or browser-based data files, you can check your browser or device’s settings for how you can control or reject cookies, or click here for more information.
