Cookie and browser storage policy
How the website uses essential cookies and first-party browser storage to keep services secure, reduce repetition and remember choices you make.
Essential use
The website may use first-party cookies, server-linked session storage or browser storage that is reasonably necessary for security, secure sign-in, protecting forms, maintaining a current request journey, remembering your session choices or keeping My Tech Help working correctly.
Blocking essential storage can prevent secure sign-in, form protection or parts of My Tech Help from working correctly.
Choices kept for your current visit
We may use your browser's session storage for short-lived choices, such as whether you closed a suggestion, whether you chose to see the normal page, whether a broad help topic has already been counted during this visit, or whether you confirmed a broad service-area result.
This storage normally ends with the browser session and is not used to identify you across devices.
Remembering where you left off
First-party browser storage may remember one broad help topic and a safe return path for up to 24 hours so the website can offer Continue where you left off. It does not contain your raw problem wording, contact details, request reference, IP address or browser fingerprint.
You can remove this remembered visit using the website's forget/start-over controls or your browser's storage controls.
Remembering broad topics on later visits
Your browser may keep up to three broad help topics for up to seven days so related public information can be ordered more usefully when you return. The remembered influence reduces over time.
This information stays in your browser and is not uploaded to us as a personal profile. It is not used as an advertising identifier, device identifier or cross-device identity. Safety, scam and senior-support topics are not stored for this purpose.
Service-area choice
If you choose to check local support, the website may keep the broad result for the current visit so you do not need to repeat the check. If you confirm a suggested suburb, that confirmed suburb may be carried into the request form to save typing.
Precise browser coordinates are not written to browser storage. Choosing Use my location is optional and requires your browser's permission; you can enter a suburb or postcode instead.
Optional measurement
We may use combined, non-identifying counts to understand whether website guidance is useful, such as how often a broad help topic is selected or whether people reach a request step. These counts are separate from the broad topics remembered in your browser.
If we introduce non-essential analytics, advertising or third-party tracking that requires a separate choice or additional disclosure, we will update the relevant notice or policy and ask for consent where required before using it.
Google, Apple and other services
If you choose Google or Apple sign-in, those providers may use their own cookies or security technology under their own privacy terms. Other embedded or linked services may also have their own practices.
Your choices
You can usually control cookies and browser storage through your browser. The website may also provide controls such as Forget this, Forget previous visit signals and Start over to remove remembered browsing choices.
Clearing or blocking browser storage may reduce continuity or personalisation but does not remove an already-created request. Existing requests remain available only through the secure My Tech Help process.
Privacy
For more information about personal information, service providers, overseas processing, access, correction and complaints, see our Privacy Policy.
