Visiting Our Website Generally

We may collect information on website activity, such as the number of visitors, the number of pages viewed, navigation patterns, what systems users have and the date and time of visits. This information is collected for statistical purposes only and will not be used to identify you. We may also utilise “cookies” which enable us to monitor website traffic patterns and to serve you more efficiently if you revisit the site. A “cookie” is a small software file that is placed on your computer and enables our website to recognise your computer upon a return visit. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and this will provide you with an opportunity to either accept or reject it in each instance. Please be aware that disabling cookies may impede your use of the website to some extent. If you allow the cookie to apply then the data collected will enable better understanding of your pattern of use and areas of interest which facilitates the improvement of our website, both as to content and its ease of use.. If you are a casual visitor then the operation of the cookie is “session based” and will expire 20 minutes after your browser ceases to be active, or upon the browser being closed. A session based cookie will not identify you personally, only the unique identification code of the computer you are using. Cookies may be used to identify the location of your computer which assists us to tailor products and services appropriate to users in particular locations. Information about your location may be collected in a number of ways including:

  • Using your IP Address to determine the State that you are in;
  • Using your GeoLocation information to determine your exact location (a user must opt in to use this service);
  • Storing of postcode/search queries.

The information collected about your location is to help you make the most use of the website by making it easier for you to find an agent that is in your local area. This information will be stored only temporarily if your visit to the website is “session based” or if you login as a registered user in a cookie on your computer. This information is not retained or stored by us on our database and we do not distribute it to third parties. We may also use pixel tags which interact with a user’s web browser to allow certain data about our IT systems’ interaction with users to be collected, such as whether email we have sent has been opened and viewed. The purpose of collecting this information is to assess the general effectiveness of our email transmissions and other electronic communications. Naturally, we will become aware of your identity if you choose to provide personal information in the course of using certain functions within our website, or when communicating with us by email or other electronic media, irrespective of our use of cookies or pixel tags. This website may contain links to third-party websites. Please take note that Noongar Mia Mia is in no way responsible for the content or the privacy practices on these sites.
