When accessing our website, Thirst Creative will learn certain information about you during your visit. Similar to other commercial websites, our website uses a standard technology called cookies and web server logs to collect information about how our website is used.
Before you get too excited, let me tell you that we’re not talking about the kind of cookies you eat here (unfortunately). Instead, we’re referring to the small text files that contain information which allows us to recognise your device when you visit our site. These text files are downloaded to your device whenever you visit a website if you have agreed to the site using cookies. Cookies are then sent back to the website on each subsequent visit or to another website that recognises that cookie.
Cookies can be useful for organisation’s like us as they allow a website to recognise a user’s device and provide information which can be used to make a website work more efficiently, allow more seamless navigation between pages, remember user preferences and consequently improve user experience.
Our site uses cookies to specifically distinguish you from other Thirst Creative website visitors. This helps us to make ongoing improvements and provide you with a better experience when you browse our website. Some of the cookies we use are “analytical” cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors our website receives. They also allow us to see how our visitors move around our website when they are using it, which provides information that can help us plan and publish content that our visitors are interested in. This way, we can make sure that when you visit our website, you can easily find the information you are looking for.
Please note that cookies do not contain confidential information such as your home address or telephone number. Furthermore, we do not exchange cookies with any third party websites. Any other websites that we link to on our pages may also use their own cookies, over which we have no control. Unless you adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, our system will continue to issue cookies and download them onto your device when you log on to our website. If you choose to turn cookies off, you may still access our website, but your ability to use some features or access some areas of our site may be limited.
Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, pages viewed, time spent on our website and the websites viewed just before and after our website using your IP address. In addition to this, our analytics provider uses technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, pixels and scripts to analyse trends, track users’ movements around our website and to gather demographic information about our user base.
We do not currently offer publicly accessible message boards or community forums on our website. However, please note that our social channels are available for public viewing and are governed by separate entities (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter). Please keep in mind that information you disclose via these channels may be collected and used by others which is outside of our control.
As is the case with most websites, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating systems, date/time stamp and clickstream data.
We use this non-identifying information to analyse trends, monitor our site, track users’ movements around the site and to collect demographic information about our user base.
As a business, Thirst Creative does not target its offering toward and does not knowingly collect any personal information or data from users under 13 years of age.
Thirst Creative reserves the right to amend or make changes to this Privacy Policy as required, at any time, with or without notice. Any changes will be effective immediately and published on our website. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information about you which we hold or request to be removed from our marketing communication list. Please contact studio@thirstcreative.com.au if you would like to discuss how we are using your personal details.
