To make this website www.toddlermealtimes.com.au ('our website ') work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too.
- What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them each time you return to the website or browse from one page to another.
- How do we use cookies?
(a) Our website mainly uses cookies to:
(i) identify users;
(ii) remember users' custom preferences; and
(iii) help users complete tasks without having to re-enter information when browsing from one page to another or when visiting our website later.

(a) Cookies can also be used for online behavioural target advertising and to show advertisements relevant to something that the user searched for in the past.
4.2. How are they used?
(a) The web server supplying the webpage can store a cookie on the user's computer or mobile device. An external web server that manages files included or referenced in the webpage is also able to store cookies. All these cookies are called 'http header cookies'.
Another way of storing cookies is through JavaScript code contained or referenced in that page.
(b) Each time the user requests a new page, the web server can receive the values of the cookies it previously set and return the page with content relating to these values. Similarly, JavaScript code is able to read a cookie belonging to its domain and perform an action accordingly.

(b) As for the domain to which it belongs, there are either:
(i) first-party cookies which are set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain; or
(ii) third-party cookies stored by a different domain to the visited page's domain. This can happen when the webpage references a file, such as JavaScript, located outside its domain.
- How to control cookies
(a) You can control cookies according to your browser preferences.
(b) For details, see www.aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer, and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed.
