Understanding Our Cookie Usage

KauriGuard Align uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website and platform. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us provide better services, analyze usage patterns, and remember your preferences across sessions.

Essential Platform Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our platform to function properly and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, and security features.

Essential cookies include login tokens, session identifiers, security tokens, and preference settings that ensure your platform experience remains secure and personalized.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website and platform. This information helps us improve our services, identify popular features, and optimize user experience.

These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized data about page views, session duration, user flows, and feature usage patterns without identifying individual users.

Functional Enhancement Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalized experience. They store information such as language preferences, dashboard configurations, and display options.

These cookies enhance usability by maintaining your customizations across sessions and ensuring consistent platform behavior according to your preferences.

Security and Compliance Cookies

Given our focus on compliance and cyber resilience, we use specialized cookies to maintain security standards and audit trails. These cookies help detect suspicious activity and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.

Security cookies include fraud detection mechanisms, access logging, and compliance monitoring tools that protect both your data and our platform integrity.

Third-Party Integration Cookies

Our platform integrates with various third-party services including SIEM systems, cloud platforms, and analytics tools. These integrations may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies.

We carefully evaluate third-party partners and require appropriate data protection measures, but recommend reviewing their cookie policies independently.

Cookie Duration and Expiration

We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a specified period). Cookie duration varies based on their purpose and functionality.

Session cookies typically handle temporary data like login status, while persistent cookies store longer-term preferences and settings for improved user experience.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control cookie usage through your browser settings, our cookie preference center, or by using our opt-out mechanisms. However, disabling certain cookies may limit platform functionality.

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. You can also set your browser to notify you when cookies are being used or to automatically reject them.

Mobile and Application Cookies

Our mobile applications and responsive web platform may use device-specific identifiers and local storage mechanisms similar to cookies. These technologies serve similar purposes to web cookies.

Mobile cookie alternatives include device IDs, local storage, and application-specific data that help maintain functionality and user preferences across mobile sessions.

Cross-Site Tracking Prevention

We respect your privacy and do not engage in cross-site tracking for advertising purposes. Our cookies are primarily used for platform functionality, security, and service improvement.

We implement measures to prevent unauthorized cross-site tracking and comply with privacy regulations regarding cookie usage and user consent.

Cookie Data Processing

Cookie data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. We implement appropriate security measures to protect cookie data from unauthorized access or misuse.

Processing includes collection, storage, analysis, and deletion of cookie data according to established retention periods and legal requirements.

Our cookie practices comply with applicable laws including the New Zealand Privacy Act, Australian Privacy Principles, GDPR where applicable, and other relevant privacy regulations.

We maintain transparency about our cookie usage and provide appropriate consent mechanisms where required by law.

Cookie Technology Updates

As technology evolves, we may adopt new tracking technologies or modify our cookie usage. We will update this policy to reflect any significant changes in our cookie practices.

We stay current with privacy technology developments and industry best practices to ensure our cookie usage remains appropriate and compliant.

You can withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time through our cookie management tools or by contacting our privacy team. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.

We provide clear mechanisms for managing your cookie preferences and will respect your choices regarding optional cookie usage.
