Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Kiddora uses cookies and similar technologies so pages work smoothly, optional preferences are remembered, and we can understand which toy pages families visit most. This policy explains those uses in plain language for our toy store audience. Kiddora helps Australian families discover plush toys, educational sets, building blocks, puzzles, action figures, outdoor play equipment, and gifts for every occasion.
You can control cookies in browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect optional features, but core information remains readable. Similar technologies include local storage, session tokens, and small identifier pixels. When this Policy says cookie, it generally includes those tools unless stated otherwise. Read this Cookie Policy together with the Privacy Policy for a fuller picture of how family data is handled.
1. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies support basic navigation, security, and form behavior. Without them, menus or sessions may fail. They are not used to build advertising profiles. Examples include remembering a mobile menu state, protecting contact forms from obvious automated abuse, and keeping a secure session while you move between Home, Shop, Gifts, About, and Contact. Lifetimes are kept as short as practical. Security tokens reduce forged requests. Session cookies usually delete when the browser closes. Turning them off can break forms; re-enable necessary cookies for our domain and try again. Cookies do not store passwords. On public computers, clear site data when finished. Necessary cookies do not choose gift clubs; they only keep pages functional while you compare Play, Family, or Adventure layers. Checkout steps, if enabled later, may rely on necessary cookies to keep your basket intact. We do not use necessary cookies to sell your browsing history. Necessary cookies are first-party whenever possible. You can still read product text with many cookies disabled, though interactive forms may stall. Families using shared tablets should end sessions after browsing wish lists.
2. Preference cookies
Preference cookies may remember closed announcements or interface settings so we do not ask the same question every visit. For example, hiding a banner about gift clubs may be stored for a limited time. They respect reading comfort without storing session secrets or payment details. Clearing them may bring announcements back and reset layout defaults. Where law requires a choice, preference cookies are optional. Family handles should stay in your account, not in a preference cookie. Lifetimes are usually days or a few months. Clear cookies after shared-device sessions so the next person does not inherit panels. Preference cookies are not combined with advertising identifiers. Blocking them still leaves the site usable with more notices. They may remember whether you last compared Play, Family, or Adventure without changing prices. Preference data is not sold. Private browsing modes often discard preference cookies when the window closes. Preference cookies do not override age safety labels on products. You will not lose membership rights by clearing preferences. Opting out of preferences simply means seeing more prompts.
3. Analytics cookies
Analytics helps us see which Shop, Gifts, About, and Contact pages are most useful so we can improve text, photography, and membership descriptions. Data is aggregated as much as possible. Tools are configured to reduce unnecessary detail when allowed. Analytics beyond strictly necessary scope is optional and should use an appropriate legal basis such as consent when required under Australian expectations. You may refuse analytics in browser controls. IP addresses may be truncated. We do not collect age or sensitive health signals through cookies. Error rates support technical quality. Heat maps, if used, do not record passwords. Advertising retargeting is not the purpose. Providers may act as contracted processors. Retention windows are reviewed. Analytics never sells personal toy preferences to unrelated marketers. Reports focus on aisle popularity such as plush versus outdoor play at a category level. Analytics cookies are not required to buy a toy in store. Children's browsing should be supervised; analytics is aimed at adult shoppers. Refusing analytics will not reduce product quality or safety information on the site.
4. Third-party cookies
Font providers may set cookies when resources load under their own policies. Social follow buttons may leave cookies if you interact with them. After another company sets a cookie we do not control its full lifecycle. Limit third-party cookies with browser blockers, global disable options, or by not clicking social icons. Payment processors for Family or Adventure may set cookies on their own payment pages, separate from ours. Map cookies are not expected if no map is used. Video embeds, if added later, may bring platform cookies. We aim not to call advertising networks. We do not build child-directed tracking profiles. Social sharing means leaving our site. When the third-party list changes, the policy date updates. Blocked resources may disrupt layout. Third-party cookies are not used to invent toy ratings. We do not require social login to browse toys. Third-party cookies from advertisers are not part of our current design. Browser settings usually offer a third-party block toggle. Kiddora will not punish users who block third-party cookies. Our priority is a trustworthy toy store experience for Australian families, not maximum tracking.
5. How you control cookies
Delete or block cookies in browser privacy settings, or use private mode. Clearing cookies may reset preferences. Questions: [email protected]. Most browsers can block third-party cookies or delete site data only for Kiddora. On shared devices, clear cookies after the session. Blocking necessary cookies can make forms odd; re-enable them for our domain. Aggressive blockers may delay images. Consent text appears as required by law. Changing choices often creates analytics gaps but does not break the site. Autofill is not a cookie but still needs care on shared profiles. Controlling cookies does not stop you from emailing the desk about plush toys, educational sets, outdoor play, or monthly gift clubs. Phone support at +61392241234 can explain high-level options. Printed summaries of this policy are available at 1 Parliament Square, off, Parliament Pl, Melbourne VIC 3002, Australia. Resetting cookies will not cancel a paid club by itself; membership status lives in account records. Cookie controls are about your device, not your legal consumer rights for goods under Australian Consumer Law.
6. Updates, retention, and contact
We may update this Cookie Policy when tools or laws change. The Last Updated date reflects the current version. Session cookies end when the browser closes; preference or analytics cookies may last days or months. We periodically review whether each category still serves a clear purpose. Contact: [email protected], +61392241234, or 1 Parliament Square, off, Parliament Pl, Melbourne VIC 3002, Australia during published hours. Our aim is to keep the site usable, keep optional tracking measured, and protect Kiddora as a practical toy shopping space. Unused cookie names are removed. New analytics tools are described here with category and rationale. Retention ends with deletion or anonymization when the purpose ends. The Melbourne desk answers during business hours. Thank you for reviewing how Kiddora uses cookies. Material changes will appear on this page. We appreciate your trust in Australia's favourite toy store and remain committed to careful, proportionate use of cookies that serve play, learning, and joyful shopping rather than unnecessary surveillance.
