This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on ozmedia.digital. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files that a website saves on your device. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, do a comparable job. Some are needed for the site to work. Others measure how the site is used or how our advertising performs.
Your choice
When you first visit, a notice asks whether to allow analytics and advertising cookies. They stay off unless you choose Accept all. If you choose Reject non-essential, or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we do not load them. We remember your choice for 12 months. You can change it at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer or the button above. If you withdraw consent after accepting, we delete the cookies we can and stop loading the tools.
Always on: needed for the site to work
These are stored in your own browser and are not sent to advertising or analytics companies.
- oz_consent_v1 (local storage, 12 months): remembers your cookie choice.
- oz_utm_* (session storage, until you close the tab): remembers the campaign link you arrived from so it can be included if you submit an enquiry.
- Checklist and calculator progress (local storage, until you clear it): saves your ticks and answers on interactive tools so you do not lose them.
Booking: Calendly
The booking page loads a scheduling tool from Calendly. Calendly may set its own cookies when you use it, under its own privacy policy. It is only loaded on the booking page.
