This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on shazam-australia.com, and how you can control them. It's worth reading, even if just to understand what's happening in the background when you visit our site.
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. They're used by pretty much every website you've ever visited. Some cookies are essential for the site to work properly. Others help us understand how people use the site or let us show you relevant content.
Cookies aren't programs and they can't carry viruses or access other files on your device. They're just small data files.
These are necessary for the site to function. Without them, things like logging into your account, navigating between pages, and processing transactions simply won't work. You can't opt out of these while using the site, because the site can't run without them.
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with shazam-australia.com. We use this data to see which pages are popular, where users drop off, and how we can improve the overall experience. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous.
These remember your preferences, like your language settings or whether you've dismissed a notification. They make your experience smoother without tracking you for advertising purposes.
We and some of our third-party partners may use cookies to show you relevant promotions and offers, both on our site and on other websites you visit. These cookies track your browsing activity across sites. We only use these if you've given your consent.
Some cookies on our site are placed by third parties, including analytics providers, payment processors, and advertising networks. We don't control these cookies directly. Each third party has its own privacy and cookie policy, and we encourage you to review those if you want more detail.
Cookies are either 'session' cookies or 'persistent' cookies. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period of time, which varies depending on the cookie. Most of our persistent cookies expire within 12 months.
You're in control. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Here's how to do it in the most common browsers:
Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies may affect how the site works. If you disable essential cookies, some features may not function at all.
You can also opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance of Australia at www.youronlinechoices.com.au.
When you first visit shazam-australia.com, you'll see a cookie notice asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or customise your preferences. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site.
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices change or as new technologies emerge. Check back here for the latest version.
