Cookie Policy
Last updated: 19 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Shouldersauclean.world uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We follow guidance from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (New Zealand) on cookies and online tracking, and the Privacy Act 2020 where cookie data identifies you.
1. Who operates this site
- Operator: Shouldersauclean.world
- Email: ask@shouldersauclean.world

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. We also use localStorage on your browser to remember your cookie consent choices. These technologies can collect personal information (for example, an IP address combined with other data) under the Privacy Act 2020.
3. How we use consent (New Zealand approach)
Under New Zealand privacy law, we must be open about our practices and collect personal information in a fair and reasonable way. For cookies that are not strictly necessary, we ask for your clear consent before they are activated. You can:
- Accept all — enable necessary, analytics, and marketing cookies;
- Reject — only strictly necessary cookies and localStorage for consent will be used;
- Cookie settings — choose analytics and marketing separately, then save preferences.
Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent you from using the website. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it: clear site data in your browser or use settings to turn categories off when we offer that control.
4. Categories of cookies
| Category | Purpose | Always on? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, load balancing, storing your consent choice, basic site function | Yes |
| Analytics | Understand how visitors use pages (aggregated statistics, approximate location) | No — consent required |
| Marketing | Measure advertising or campaign performance, limit repeat ads | No — consent required |
5. Examples of data collected (when optional cookies are on)
- Pages viewed and time on site;
- Referring website or search terms;
- Browser, operating system, and screen size;
- IP address (may be considered personal information).
6. Third-party cookies and embedded content
If we use analytics or advertising partners, those third parties may set their own cookies. Their use of information is governed by their privacy policies. Embedded content (such as Google Maps on our Contact page) may set cookies from the provider; we recommend reviewing Google’s privacy notice if you interact with the map.
We require service providers to handle information securely and only for specified purposes, including overseas processors where IPPs 12 and applicable GDPR rules require safeguards.
7. Retention periods
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser;
- Consent record (localStorage): up to 12 months, unless you clear it sooner;
- Analytics cookies (if accepted): typically up to 14 months, depending on the provider;
- Marketing cookies (if accepted): typically 30 days to 13 months, depending on the provider.
8. Managing cookies in your browser
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Instructions are usually found under “Privacy” or “Security”. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality. For more information, visit www.privacy.org.nz.
9. Your rights and complaints
If cookie-related processing collects your personal information, you have rights of access and correction under the Privacy Act 2020. See our Privacy Policy for how to request access or correction, and how to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (0800 803 909).
10. Google Ads and remarketing (if marketing cookies enabled)
When marketing cookies are active, Google or other ad partners may set cookies to limit how often you see an ad, measure campaign results, or show ads related to pages you visited on this site. We do not receive your name from these tools unless you also contact us separately. You can manage Google ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com or reject marketing cookies on our banner.
11. GDPR (visitors in the EEA/UK)
Where GDPR applies, non-essential cookies are used only on the basis of consent. You may withdraw consent at any time via our banner or browser controls, and may contact your local data protection authority.
12. Updates
We will update this Cookie Policy when our technologies or legal obligations change. Please check the “Last updated” date. Significant changes may be highlighted on this page.
