Cookie Policy at Olympia
Olympia’s cookie policy has been reviewed to confirm how cookies support convenience, security, and reliable operation of the website for Australian users. The assessment confirms a clear distinction between mandatory cookies, which keep the platform secure and functional, and optional cookies used for analytics or personalisation. These optional cookies help tailor content and measure site performance, though they are not essential for browsing. Users retain full control over their cookie preferences and can adjust settings at any time through their browser. This transparency reflects Olympia’s commitment to protecting personal data and privacy.
Olympia Cookie Usage Evaluated
A technical audit of Olympia confirms that cookies and similar technologies are saved to a user’s device upon visiting the website, allowing the platform to remember preferences and track browsing activity. This process was evaluated across several purposes, including analysis of platform behaviour, monitoring of traffic patterns, and tracking of overall performance. The review also confirms that cookies do not access internal device data or compromise personal privacy. Cookies operate strictly within the browser environment, limiting their scope to information related to the website and its services.
Types of Cookies Used on the Website Reviewed
Review of Olympia identified three main categories of cookies used across the platform, each serving a distinct function during a browsing session. The review confirmed the following types:
- Session cookies: these are temporary and expire once the browser is closed, helping maintain navigation flow during a single visit;
- Persistent cookies: these remain stored on the device for a set period, allowing the website to recognise returning visitors and retain saved preferences;
- Analytical cookies: these collect information on how the site is used, supporting performance monitoring and service improvement.
All cookie types identified in this review serve to enhance convenience and support a personalised browsing experience across desktop and mobile devices.
Managing Your Cookie Choices & Settings
The review confirms that Olympia allows users to manage cookie preferences directly through browser settings, giving control over what information is stored on a device. The following actions were verified during this review:
- View which cookies have been stored on the device;
- Delete existing cookies from the browser;
- Block cookies from being set in future;
- Restrict cookies to certain websites only;
- Set browser alerts for when new cookies are placed;
- Manage Flash cookies separately through Flash Player settings.
Findings indicate that fully blocking all cookies may limit certain features on Olympia, affecting overall site functionality and browsing experience.
Flash Cookie Settings & Configuration
Review of Flash cookie settings on Olympia confirms that these can be configured separately through the Flash Player Manager, which operates independently of standard browser settings. Adjustments made here allow users to control how content using Flash interacts with their device. Findings from this assessment indicate that blocking all cookies, including Flash cookies, may disrupt key platform features, particularly those involving interactive or multimedia content.
