1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Parachute Security Pty Ltd ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on withparachute.org. It supplements our Privacy Policy. We operate under Australian law and follow the Australian Privacy Principles; we do not require prior consent before setting cookies, but we provide this notice and an easy way to adjust your preferences.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to recognise your browser session, remember your preferences, and measure how the site is being used. We also use related technologies such as browser local storage for the same purposes. None of the cookies used on withparachute.org contain incident data or security evidence - those are processed only within authenticated platform sessions.

4. Notice and Your Choices
When you first visit withparachute.org, a brief notice bar informs you that cookies are in use. You may dismiss this notice at any time. Because we operate a notice-only model under Australian law, non-essential cookies may load on your first visit without a prior block.
You can reopen the cookie notice at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in our site footer. You can also opt out of analytics cookies by configuring your browser to block or delete cookies as described in section 7 below. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the authenticated platform from functioning correctly.
5. Global Privacy Control
If your browser transmits a Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal, we honour it by suppressing analytics initialisation for your session, regardless of dismissal state.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers acting on our behalf, for example analytics providers. We have data-processing agreements in place with such providers that limit their use of data to service-provision purposes. We do not permit third-party advertising cookies on withparachute.org.
7. Managing Cookies
- Use the "Cookie preferences" link in our footer to reopen the notice and clear your dismissal state.
- Your browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies at any time; see aboutcookies.org for step-by-step browser instructions.
- Most browsers also support the Global Privacy Control extension, which signals opt-out preferences automatically.
