Cookie Policy

This policy applies to cookies and similar browser or device technologies that may be used when you visit the MS Accounting website.

The website may change over time, including the software, security, analytics or marketing tools used. As a result, the exact cookies or similar technologies present at a particular time may also change.

Cookies are small data files that a website or related service can store on your browser or device. They can help a website remember information about a visit, maintain functionality, improve performance or understand how the website is used.

Cookies may be set directly by the website you visit (first-party cookies) or by another service whose technology is used on the website (third-party cookies).

Some cookies last only for a browser session, while others may remain on a device for a longer period unless they expire or are deleted.

Depending on the website configuration, cookies may fall into one or more of the following categories:

Websites can use technologies other than traditional cookies. Depending on the services enabled, these may include local storage, tags, scripts, web beacons, tracking pixels, server-side logs or similar technologies.

Some of these technologies can record or transmit information about how a website is used. For example, a tracking pixel may be used by an analytics or advertising provider to record that a page was viewed or that a particular website event occurred.

We aim to limit website technologies to those reasonably connected with website operation, security, performance, analytics, communication or marketing activities.

Our website may rely on third-party providers for functions such as hosting, content delivery, security, website forms, email delivery, analytics, maps, embedded content, advertising or social-media functionality.

If a third-party analytics or advertising service is enabled, that provider may set or read cookies or use other technologies under its own privacy and cookie practices.

Third-party tools, settings and providers can change over time. We therefore do not represent that a particular third-party tracking product is permanently enabled on this website unless it is specifically identified at the time you visit.

Information associated with website browsing, cookies or tracking technologies may be personal information where an individual is identified or reasonably identifiable from the information or from the information combined with other data.

Where Australian privacy law applies, personal information collected through online technologies is handled in accordance with applicable requirements and our Privacy Policy.

Depending on the technology, website information may include an IP address, browser or device information, approximate location derived from an IP address, pages viewed, timestamps, referral information, website events or identifiers assigned by a service provider.

We do not intentionally use ordinary website cookies as a substitute for collecting taxation information such as a Tax File Number.

Cookie duration varies according to purpose and provider. A session cookie is generally removed when the browser session ends. A persistent cookie may remain until its configured expiry date or until you delete it.

Third-party providers determine the duration of cookies or identifiers that they control. Their retention settings may change independently of MS Accounting.

You can inspect cookies currently stored by the website using the privacy, storage or developer controls available in most modern browsers.

Depending on the website configuration and the type of technology involved, you may be able to control cookies in several ways:

• Use any cookie-preference or consent controls that are made available on the website.
• Block, delete or limit cookies using your browser settings.
• Use browser privacy features or extensions that restrict certain tracking technologies.
• Adjust advertising or privacy settings offered directly by relevant third-party services.

Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Some technologies that are necessary for security or core website operation may not operate in the same way as optional analytics or advertising technologies.

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and to choose whether websites may store cookies in the future. The exact controls vary between browsers and devices.

If you clear cookies, previously saved preferences may also be removed and you may need to set those preferences again on a later visit.

Because browsers and devices change frequently, please refer to the privacy or cookie settings provided by the browser or device manufacturer for the most current instructions.

We may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, providers, tracking technologies, privacy practices or legal requirements change.

The current version will be published on this website and identified by the “Last updated” date at the top of the page.

If we make a material change to the way optional tracking technologies are used, we may also update any relevant website notice or preference mechanism where appropriate.

If you have questions about our use of cookies, website tracking technologies or personal information, contact MS Accounting.
