Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, keep you signed in, and help site owners understand how their service is being used.

2. How GdayNurse uses cookies

We use cookies to keep you signed in, secure your session, remember your preferences, and (only if you opt in) understand aggregate usage of the platform. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell your data.

3. Cookie categories

3.1 Essential cookies (always active)

Required for the platform to function — sign-in, security, and remembering your cookie choice. You cannot opt out of these cookies because the site does not work without them.

3.2 Analytics cookies (opt-in)

Anonymous traffic and performance metrics. Helps us understand which pages are useful and where the platform is slow. Only enabled if you accept analytics in the cookie banner.

3.3 Marketing cookies (opt-in)

We do not currently run advertising or marketing cookies. If we ever do, they will appear in this category and require your explicit opt-in before loading.

3.4 Preference cookies (opt-in)

Remember choices you make to give you a more personal experience — for example, display preferences or a remembered last-viewed page.

4. Third-party services

Some essential cookies are set by third-party services we use to run the platform:

• Stripe — fraud prevention and payment processing during checkout.
• NextAuth — session management for signed-in users.
• Vercel — hosting infrastructure and (opt-in) anonymous analytics.

The use of these cookies is governed by each provider's privacy policy.

5. Managing your cookies

5.1 On this site

When you first visit, the cookie banner asks you to choose between "Accept all", "Essential only", or "Customise". You can change your choice at any time using the "Update preferences" button above (visible once you've made an initial choice), or by clearing this site's cookies in your browser, which causes the banner to reappear.

5.2 In your browser

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Restricting cookies may affect how the site functions. Browser-specific guides:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge

6. Legal basis for processing

• Essential cookies: necessary for performance of contract (providing our services to you).
• Analytics cookies: your consent.
• Marketing cookies: your explicit consent (none currently active).
• Preference cookies: your consent.

7. International data transfers

Some of our cookie providers process data outside Australia (typically in the United States or the European Economic Area). Where this happens we rely on contractual safeguards with those providers, and processing is in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the GDPR (where applicable to your residency).

8. Cookie retention

• Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: stored for the period shown in the table above (typically up to 12 months).
• Consent cookie: stored for 12 months, after which we ask again.

9. Children's privacy

Our services are not directed to people under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we hold information about a child, please contact us using the details below and we will remove it.

10. Your rights

Under Australian privacy law (and the GDPR for EU residents), you have the right to:

• Access — request information about the cookies and personal data we hold.
• Erasure — delete cookies from your browser at any time.
• Object — opt out of non-essential cookies via the banner or your account settings.
• Withdraw consent — change your cookie preferences at any time.
• Complain — lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our operations. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. If changes are material, we'll surface them through the cookie banner so you can review your choice.
