Cookie notice
Updated 12 August 2026 · in effect from 12 August 2026
This page lists what ClanAudit stores in your browser, why, and for how long. It sits alongside the privacy notice, which explains the wider handling of personal information.
1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text entry a site asks your browser to keep, so that a later page load can recognise the same browser. Related techniques — local storage, session storage and service-worker registrations — do a similar job and are covered by this notice as well, because what matters is the storage, not the label.
2. Categories used here
| Category | What it does | Set by | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Remembers your answer to the consent banner so it is not shown on every page, and keeps the site secure and available. | clanaudit.com | Until you clear site data |
| Push notifications | Stores the subscription identifier that lets the alert reach this browser, plus basic technical settings for the notification service. | OneSignal, as our processor | Until notifications are turned off |
| Analytics | Counts visits and which entries are read, in aggregate, so the next cycle can be planned. Only set after you accept. | Analytics provider | Up to 13 months |
| Advertising | Used by advertising providers for the placements shown on these pages, including frequency capping and measurement. Only set after you accept. | Advertising providers | Up to 13 months |
3. The consent banner
On a first visit a banner appears at the foot of the page with two plain buttons, Accept and Decline. Your answer is kept in your own browser under the entry clanaudit-cookie-choice and the banner stays away after that. Declining leaves the necessary category in place, because without it the site cannot remember that you answered at all.
4. Push notifications and OneSignal
Browser notifications are handled by OneSignal acting as our processor. Nothing is registered until you allow notifications in your browser’s own permission prompt. If you allow them, OneSignal stores a subscription identifier for that browser, together with technical details such as browser type, language and time zone, and registers a service worker at /OneSignalSDKWorker.js. Turning notifications off in browser settings ends that registration.
5. Turning storage off
- Clear what is already stored. Every browser has a setting for clearing cookies and site data for a single site; using it on clanaudit.com resets your consent answer and brings the banner back.
- Block cookies in advance. Browser settings allow third-party or all cookies to be blocked. Blocking everything is fine for reading the site; the banner may then reappear on each visit.
- Notifications. Site settings in the browser include a notifications entry for clanaudit.com that can be set back to ask or to block.
- Do Not Track and similar signals. Where a browser sends a general opt-out signal, we treat it as a decline for the analytics and advertising categories.
6. Providers
Third-party storage in the analytics and advertising categories is set by the providers named on this page and is governed by their own notices as well as ours. Where those providers operate outside Australia, the handling described in section 6 of the privacy notice applies.
7. Changes
If a category is added or removed, this page is updated and the date at the top changes. Where a change needs a fresh answer from you, the banner is shown again.
