Cookie and Tracking Statement. Effective 7 November 2026. Version 1.0.
This statement explains how this website, operated by Averra Dental Pty Ltd for the dental practice named on the site (the Practice, we, us, our), uses cookies and similar technologies, and the choices you have. It forms part of our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits. They allow a site to remember your actions and preferences, measure how the site is used, and, in some cases, show advertising based on your browsing. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies); others remain until they expire or you delete them (persistent cookies).
2. The cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Can you switch it off? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Make the site work: page navigation, security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices, keeping an online booking in progress | Website platform and hosting cookies, cookie consent record | No. These are required for the site to function. |
| Functional | Remember preferences such as the clinic location you selected, accessibility settings and form entries | Website platform preference cookies, embedded map and video player settings | Yes, through the cookie banner or your browser. |
| Analytics | Understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time on page, device type, approximate location by region) so we can improve it. Data is aggregated; we do not try to identify you. | Google Analytics 4 (with IP anonymisation and Google Signals disabled), hosting platform analytics | Yes, through the cookie banner. |
| Advertising and social media | Measure the performance of our online advertising and, where you have agreed, show you relevant advertising on other sites. These cookies are set by third parties under their own privacy policies. | Google Ads conversion tracking, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, embedded Facebook or Instagram content | Yes, through the cookie banner, the third party's own settings, or your browser. Off by default until you agree. |
We do not use cookies or tracking technologies to collect or infer health information about you, and we do not attach any information from your clinical record to your website activity. If you book online through a third-party booking platform, that platform sets its own cookies and its privacy policy applies.
3. Your choices
When you first visit the site, a banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by selecting "Cookie settings" in the website footer. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings; the help pages for Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox explain how. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, including online booking, from working. To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. To manage advertising personalisation, see Google's Ads Settings and Meta's Ad Preferences in your accounts with those services.
4. Email and SMS tracking
Marketing emails we send may contain a small image or link that tells us whether the email was opened or a link clicked, so we can understand what is useful. Appointment reminders and clinical communications do not use this tracking. You can stop marketing emails and SMS at any time using the unsubscribe link or by emailing privacy@averradental.com.au.
5. Do Not Track
Our site does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signals, because there is no agreed standard for them. Use the cookie banner and your browser settings to control tracking.
6. Changes and contact
We review this statement whenever we add or remove a tracking technology and at least every 12 months. Questions: privacy@averradental.com.au.
