1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They allow Deterrent Security and our trusted partners to recognise your device, remember your preferences, keep your account secure and improve your experience. Some cookies collect personal information. Where this occurs, Deterrent Security handles that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

2. How do we use cookies?

Cookies perform important functions, such as navigating between pages efficiently, remembering preferences and logins, enabling secure access to the client portal, supporting payments and forms, improving website performance, and providing relevant content or advertising. We use Strictly Necessary Cookies and Optional Cookies (Performance, Functional, Targeting/Advertising).

Strictly Necessary Cookies cannot be disabled as our services would not function without them.

Optional Cookies may be set by Deterrent Security or trusted third parties to analyse usage, improve functionality, and deliver relevant content or ads.
