This Cookie Policy explains how hudela (legal name: Lux, referred to in this document as “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website hudela.info. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data relating to you, and to complying with applicable Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

By continuing to browse or use hudela.info, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where we require your consent for the placement of non-essential cookies, we will seek that consent through a clear cookie consent mechanism described in Section 7 of this Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device (“device”) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to the website owner.

When you visit hudela.info, our server may send a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a small file. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognise your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party organisations whose content, such as maps, advertisements, or analytics tools, is embedded within the page you are viewing (“third-party cookies”).

Cookies may be session cookies, which are temporary and expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.

Similar technologies include web beacons (also called tracking pixels), local storage objects, and fingerprinting scripts. This Cookie Policy applies to all such technologies unless stated otherwise.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• To ensure the website functions correctly and securely;
• To remember your preferences and settings;
• To understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve it;

Without these cookies, certain features of the site cannot be provided, and you may not be able to use the website as intended.

• Storing your cookie consent decision so you are not asked again on every visit;
• Remembering accessibility settings you have selected.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

The information collected by analytics cookies may include pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, geographic region (at a country or city level), device type, and browser type. We do not use analytics cookies to identify individual users personally.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Certain features and services embedded in hudela.info are provided by third parties. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you visit our website. We do not control these third-party cookies and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these parties. We encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie policies.

Third-party services we use that may set cookies include:

• Google Analytics (Google LLC): We use Google Analytics to analyse website traffic and usage patterns. Google may process data collected through these cookies in countries outside Australia, including the United States. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Google Fonts (Google LLC): Our website may load fonts hosted on Google’s servers. When your browser requests a font, Google may receive your IP address and set cookies. We aim to locally host fonts where possible to reduce third-party data sharing.
• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): We may use CDN services to deliver static assets such as JavaScript libraries. These providers may log request data, including IP addresses, but typically do not set persistent tracking cookies.

Where we share data with third parties located outside Australia (including Google’s servers in the United States), we take reasonable steps to ensure those parties handle personal information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, as required under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

7. Cookie Consent Mechanism

When you first visit hudela.info, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner or notice. This banner informs you about the categories of cookies we use and allows you to make an informed choice about which cookie categories you consent to.

The consent mechanism works as follows:

• Essential cookies are always active, as they are strictly necessary for the website to function and do not require your consent.
• For functional and analytics cookies, we request your consent before placing these cookies on your device.
• You may accept all cookie categories, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by cookie category.
• Your consent choice is stored using the cookie_consent cookie for a period of 12 months, after which we may ask for your consent again.
• You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link available in the footer of our website, or by clearing cookies from your browser as described in Section 5.

We do not use pre-ticked boxes or deceptive design patterns to obtain consent. Your consent is voluntary, specific, informed, and unambiguous.

8. Australian Privacy Law Compliance

Australia does not currently have a standalone cookie law equivalent to the European Union’s ePrivacy Directive. However, the collection of personal information through cookies — such as IP addresses and device identifiers — is regulated under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

In particular:

• APP 1 (Open and transparent management of personal information): We publish this Cookie Policy to be transparent about our use of cookies and any personal information they may collect.
• APP 3 (Collection of solicited personal information): We only collect personal information through cookies that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities, or where you have consented to its collection.
• APP 5 (Notification of collection): We notify you of the types of information collected via cookies and the purposes for which it is used through this Cookie Policy and our cookie consent mechanism.
• APP 8 (Cross-border disclosure): Where cookies result in your information being transferred to overseas entities (such as Google in the United States), we take reasonable steps to ensure those entities handle your information in accordance with the APPs.
• APP 12 (Access to personal information): You may request access to personal information we hold about you, including data collected through cookies, by contacting us as set out in Section 11.

We remain committed to monitoring Australian privacy law developments — including the ongoing review of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) — and will update our practices as required when legislative changes come into effect.

9. Impact of Disabling Cookies

You are free to disable or restrict cookies at any time. However, please be aware that doing so may have the following effects on your experience of hudela.info:

• Essential cookies disabled: Core functionality of the website may not work correctly. You may be unable to complete certain actions, such as submitting forms, maintaining a logged-in session, or being protected against security threats such as CSRF attacks.
• Functional cookies disabled: The website will not remember your preferences or settings between visits. You may be shown the cookie consent banner on every visit because your consent preference cannot be saved.
• Analytics cookies disabled: We will not be able to track how you interact with our website, which may mean we are less able to improve the site based on usage data. Your browsing experience will not otherwise be affected.

We recommend that you keep essential cookies enabled for the best experience on our website. You can selectively enable or disable other cookie categories using the cookie consent settings available in our website footer.

10. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or improvements to our privacy practices. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Where required by law, we will notify you of significant changes through a notice on our website or by other appropriate means.

Your continued use of hudela.info after any changes to this Cookie Policy are posted will constitute your acknowledgement of those changes.
