This Cookies Policy explains how MadeByFraser — a Brisbane web design, Shopify and SEO studio — uses cookies and similar technologies on madebyfraser.com.au (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers the wider question of how we handle personal information.

We use as few cookies as we can get away with. There are no advertising pixels, no third-party retargeting, and no data sold to anyone. The short list below is the full list.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences and understand how visitors use the site. We also use similar technologies like local storage and pixels — referred to collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

Cookies we use

Essential

Required for the Site to function — routing, form submissions, basic security. The Site won't work properly without these.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand which pages are useful and how visitors navigate the Site. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data — page views, device type, approximate location, referrer. We do not use them to identify you personally.

Advertising

We do not run advertising, remarketing or third-party tracking pixels.

What we don't do

We don't sell your data. We don't share cookie data with advertising networks. We don't fingerprint your device for tracking across other sites.

How to control cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Help pages for the major browsers:

You can also opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the Site. Blocking analytics cookies is fine — the Site will still work normally.

Changes

We may update this policy as the Site evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.

Why we keep it minimal

A lot of modern websites are wallpapered with third-party trackers — ad networks, session replay tools, heatmap providers, chat widgets that phone home. Each one slows your site down, adds legal complexity, and quietly leaks data about your visitors. As a studio that builds fast, considered websites for other businesses, it would be a bit rich for us not to hold ourselves to the same standard. So we don't.

If we ever need to add something new — for example a bookings widget or a lightweight chat tool — we'll list it here first.
