Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how AuditDoc Pty Ltd (ABN 11 687 813 869) ("we", "us", "our", "AuditDoc") uses cookies and similar technologies on the AuditDoc website (auditdoc.com.au) and the AuditDoc platform (the "Platform").
By using the Platform, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Policy. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time — see Section 6.
2. What are cookies?
- Cookies can be:
- Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit — such as your login state, preferences, and how you use the site.
- We also use similar technologies such as web storage, pixels, tags, and software development kits. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this Policy.
- Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — stored on your device until they expire or are deleted.
- First-party cookies — set by AuditDoc directly.
- Third-party cookies — set by service providers we use.
3. How we categorise cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They enable core functionality such as authentication, session management, and security. The Platform cannot function properly without them, and you cannot opt out of these cookies.
Functional cookies remember choices you make to enhance your experience, such as invitation flows and onboarding state.
Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform so we can improve it. They collect aggregated and de-identified information.
We do not use advertising or behavioural-targeting cookies. We do not sell or share data collected via cookies with advertisers, ad networks, or data brokers.

5. Third-party cookies
- Some cookies are set by trusted third-party service providers acting on our behalf, including:
- Google Analytics (Google LLC) — usage analytics. See policies.google.com/privacy.
- Vercel Analytics (Vercel Inc.) — page-level analytics. See vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
- Clerk (Clerk Inc.) — authentication. See clerk.com/legal/privacy.
- Sentry (Functional Software Inc.) — error monitoring. See sentry.io/privacy.
- These providers process information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant providers' policies for more information.
6. Managing your cookies
- You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Look in the "Settings", "Preferences", or "Privacy" section of your browser. Helpful links:
- Google Analytics opt-out: you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Cookie banner: where applicable, our cookie banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- Please note: if you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Platform will not function correctly — including authentication, which means you may be unable to log in or use the Services.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is no consistent industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We currently do not respond to DNT signals but we limit our use of cookies to what is described in this Policy.
8. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our practices, or applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this document indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
