pacificeventcruises - Cookie Policy

The short version

Every document here is written to be read, not to hide things. The headings and contents list take you straight to what matters.

Who it applies to

Guests, enquirers and website visitors, across every event format and charter we operate from Cairns.

How it changes

Reviewed annually and when our practices change. Material updates are noted on the page with the review date.

This policy explains the small files this website places on your device. It sits alongside our privacy policy, which covers the wider handling of your information.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to remember preferences and understand usage. Local storage, which this site also uses, serves a similar purpose for preferences like your cookie choice itself.

Cookies cannot run programs or access other files on your device. They are read only by the site that set them.

2. Cookies we set

This site sets a small number of first-party items. The consent record itself is stored as a local storage entry named cookies-accepted, which remembers whether you accepted or declined.

Session-level preferences such as whether the exit-intent prompt has been shown are kept in session storage and clear when the browser closes.

3. Functional cookies

Functional storage supports the features you use: form behaviour, menu state and your consent choice. These items are required for the site to work as designed and cannot be disabled individually.

4. Analytics

We use aggregated, privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are useful. Analytics data does not identify you personally and is not shared with advertisers.

Declining cookies through the banner prevents analytics storage on your device.

5. What we do not use

We do not run advertising trackers, retargeting pixels or cross-site profiling cookies. Nothing on this site follows you to other websites.

6. Managing cookies

Your consent choice can be changed by clearing this site's data in your browser settings, which resets the banner. Most browsers also let you block cookies entirely, though functional features may then degrade.

Instructions for each browser live in its help section under site data or privacy settings.

7. Third-party content

Embedded content such as the Google Maps frame on our contacts page may set its own cookies governed by Google's policies. Declining our cookies does not affect third-party embeds, which manage consent independently.

8. Changes to this policy

We update this policy when our use of cookies changes. The review date at the top shows the current version.

In short: one consent record, a few session preferences, aggregated analytics, and no advertising trackers. Declining costs you nothing functional.

About our documents

Privacy handles your data, Legal identifies the company and its framework, Terms governs bookings, Cookies covers this website's tracking and Refunds explains cancellations. They are written to work together, not overlap.

The terms in force at your booking date apply to that booking. Material changes are flagged on the relevant page, and charter agreements carry their own schedule where they differ.
