Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how SMALL PEA SOFTWARE PTY LTD uses cookies and similar technologies on smallpeasoftware.com, what types of cookies may be set, and how you can control them.

Last updated: 2 July 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by SMALL PEA SOFTWARE PTY LTD at smallpeasoftware.com ("Website"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.

We use a minimal approach to cookies on this static marketing Website. We do not operate advertising networks, behavioural remarketing, or social media tracking pixels on the public site. Our objective is to keep the site functional and, where analytics are enabled, to understand aggregate usage without unnecessary tracking.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners about how pages are accessed.

Cookies may be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are "first-party" cookies. Cookies set by a different domain — for example, an embedded analytics provider — are "third-party" cookies.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. Where this policy refers to "cookies", it includes these comparable technologies unless stated otherwise.

3. Why We Use Cookies

On a static marketing website, cookies are used for limited purposes:

  • to ensure pages load correctly and basic site functionality operates as intended;
  • to remember choices you make where the site provides optional preferences;
  • to maintain security and help detect abusive or automated traffic; and
  • where enabled, to collect aggregated statistics about page views and navigation paths so we can improve content.

We do not use cookies on this Website to deliver targeted advertising based on your browsing behaviour across other sites.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to function. Without them, certain features may not work. Essential cookies may include cookies that support load balancing, security protections, or form submission integrity. Because they are necessary for the service you request (accessing the Website), they do not require consent in many jurisdictions, but you can block them through browser settings — noting that doing so may prevent parts of the site from working.

4.2 Analytics Cookies (If Enabled)

We may use privacy-conscious analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Website in aggregate — for example, which pages are viewed most often and whether visitors arrive from search engines or direct links. Where analytics cookies are used, we configure them to minimise identification of individual visitors where practicable. Analytics data helps us decide which content to expand or clarify; it is not used to profile you for unrelated marketing.

If no analytics service is active on the Website at a given time, this category may not apply. When we introduce or remove an analytics provider, we will update this policy.

4.3 Cookies We Do Not Use

On the public marketing Website we do not intentionally deploy:

  • advertising or retargeting cookies;
  • social media sharing widgets that track users across sites; or
  • third-party marketing automation trackers unrelated to site functionality.

Embedded content from external providers (for example, a linked video or map on a future page) may set their own cookies if you interact with that content. Those cookies are governed by the third party's policy, not this one.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by service providers that assist us in hosting or analysing the Website — for example, a web hosting provider or analytics platform. Those providers process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies. We select providers with reasonable security practices and limit the data shared to what is needed for the relevant service.

We do not control third-party cookies once set. You can review the relevant provider's documentation and use browser controls to manage or delete them.

6. How to Control Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through settings. You can typically:

  • view cookies stored on your device and delete them individually or in bulk;
  • block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies;
  • block all cookies from specific sites; or
  • configure the browser to notify you before a cookie is set.

Instructions vary by browser. Consult your browser's help documentation for current steps. Common browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

If you disable essential cookies, parts of the Website may not function correctly. Disabling analytics cookies does not affect core browsing but prevents us from seeing aggregated usage data that informs content improvements.

On mobile devices, cookie management is available through the browser or operating system settings on your phone or tablet. Mobile Safari, Chrome for Android, and other mobile browsers provide privacy menus similar to desktop equivalents. Clearing browsing data on a mobile device removes cookies stored for sites you have visited, including this Website.

Cookie duration varies by type. Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies, if any are set by analytics or preference tools, remain for a defined period — typically between one session and twelve months depending on purpose — unless you delete them earlier through browser controls.

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. There is no uniform industry standard for responding to such signals. We do not currently alter our practices solely based on Do Not Track headers, but we keep cookie use minimal by design.

7. Cookies and Personal Information

Some cookie data — particularly when combined with IP addresses or unique identifiers — may constitute personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information collected through the Website, including via cookies and server logs.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the Website, add or remove tools that use cookies, or when legal requirements change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised. Material changes will be published on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
