Top Gym Australia (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at malarines.com. This Cookie Policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, the purposes they serve, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle personal information.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website operators. Cookies can be “session” cookies, which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called “first-party” cookies, while cookies set by other domains are known as “third-party” cookies.
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies used on malarines.com into the following groups:
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, core functionality such as page navigation, form submissions, and access to secure areas of the site would not be possible. These cookies do not collect any information that could be used for marketing purposes or to track your browsing activity across other websites. Examples of essential cookies on malarines.com include session cookies that maintain your state as you move between pages, CSRF tokens that protect our contact forms against cross-site request forgery attacks, and cookie consent cookies that remember whether you have accepted or rejected non-essential cookies. Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. Blocking them through your browser settings may cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with malarines.com by collecting information about the pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, any error messages you encounter, and how you arrived at our website. All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. We use this information to improve the structure, content, and performance of our website. For instance, if analytics data shows that a particular page has an unusually high bounce rate, we can investigate and improve the content or layout of that page. Analytics cookies are only placed on your device if you consent to their use through our cookie banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings button on our website.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow malarines.com to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, more personalised features. For example, functional cookies may remember your preferred location when viewing gym details, or retain form field data so you do not need to re-enter information if you return to a page. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites. Functional cookies are placed only with your consent, and you can manage your preferences through the cookie settings accessible via the gear icon on our website.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on malarines.com are set by third-party services that we use to enhance our website functionality and understand our audience. These third-party providers operate their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. Third-party services that may set cookies on our website include web analytics platforms used to measure site performance and traffic patterns, font delivery services such as Google Fonts that may set cookies related to font loading and caching, and embedded content providers if we include external videos or maps on certain pages. We carefully evaluate all third-party services before integrating them into malarines.com, and we only work with providers that maintain appropriate data protection standards. We do not permit third-party cookies to be used for advertising or retargeting purposes on our website.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit malarines.com, a cookie banner will appear asking you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved in a cookie on your device so the banner does not appear on subsequent visits. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings button (gear icon) displayed at the bottom of every page on our website.
In addition to our on-site cookie controls, you can manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific or all websites. The process for managing cookies varies between browsers, so we recommend consulting your browser’s help documentation for instructions. Please be aware that blocking all cookies, including essential ones, may prevent parts of malarines.com from functioning properly.
