Data Transparency
& Browser Metrics.
We use cookies to maintain the integrity of our analytical systems and to deliver a stable monitoring environment for Australian businesses. This policy outlines how we handle these small data files.
01 / Logic
Why we deploy browser-side files.
At Pacific Metric Systems, our core focus is the precision of **metrics**. To ensure our portal functions as intended, we utilize cookies—small text files stored on your device. These files do not run programs or deliver viruses; they are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
Our **systems** rely on these identifiers to remember your preferences and ensure that high-bandwidth data visualizations load efficiently during your session. Without these, your experience would lack the continuity required for complex data analysis.
Security
Validating your session to prevent unauthorized access to your analytical dashboard.
Efficiency
Reducing latency by caching structural elements of our systems locally.
02 / Taxonomy
Categorisation of cookie usage.
Strictly Necessary
These are essential for the operation of our portal. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our analytics platform or use e-billing services. These cannot be switched off without affecting site functionality.
Performance & Statistics
They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding the specific **metrics** they need easily.
Functional Settings
These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or regional data sets for New South Wales or Victoria).
Monitoring the health of your digital infrastructure through precise, compliant data collection practices.
Exercising your choice.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our **systems** may be restricted.
As the specific means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit AboutAds.info.
Australian Standards
Our practices are designed to align with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and its subsequent amendments regarding digital tracking.
