Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how AICS uses cookies and similar technologies on its website, and how you can control them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your browser, remember certain settings, and understand how the site is being used. Similar technologies, such as pixels or local storage, may perform related functions.
AICS uses cookies in a limited and practical way to support the operation of this website, improve the experience for visitors, and understand general patterns of use. Cookies do not usually identify you by name, but they may be linked to information about your device, browser, or website activity.
Where information collected through cookies is personal information, AICS handles it in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy law, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
What cookies AICS uses
AICS may use the following types of cookies on this website. The exact cookies used may change over time as the website is maintained and improved.
Essential cookies
These cookies support core website functions, such as page loading, security, accessibility, forms, and session management. The website may not work properly without them.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help AICS understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and whether pages are working as expected. This information is used in an aggregated way where possible.
Preference cookies
These cookies may remember choices you make on the website, such as display preferences or form-related settings, so you do not need to enter the same information repeatedly.
How to control cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before cookies are stored. If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the AICS website may not operate as intended.
You may also be able to manage analytics or advertising-related cookies through tools provided by your browser, device, or relevant third party service. These settings are generally specific to the browser and device you are using.
AICS does not require you to accept non-essential cookies in order to read general information about accredited courses, chartered membership, or professional designations such as MAICS, GAICS, and FAICS. However, certain interactive features may rely on cookies to work correctly.
Third party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third party services used on the AICS website. These may include services that support analytics, embedded content, security, forms, maps, or other website functions. AICS does not control all cookies set by third parties.
Third party providers may collect information about your use of this website and other websites, depending on their own technologies and privacy settings. You should review the privacy and cookie information provided by those third parties if you want to understand how they handle information.
AICS aims to use third party services in a responsible way and to keep website data collection proportionate to the purpose of operating and improving the site.
