Cookie Policy - Metalbird Aust Pty Ltd

Last updated: August 2025

Cookies get a bad rap. Maybe it’s the name. Maybe it’s the mystery. But we think a little clarity goes a long way.

We understand there’s a lot of data collected out there – and it’s fair to feel uneasy about that. You absolutely have the right to be cautious, and we’re committed to being open about what we collect, how we use it, and how you can opt out. No tricks, no guilt trips.

Cookies aren’t about spying – they’re digital tools that help websites remember who you are, what you’ve added to your cart, and whether the site’s working the way it should. They also help us understand how people are using our site so we can make it better.

This Cookie Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and how you can manage your preferences. It's written in plain language because that’s how we think it should be.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, session info, and cart contents — all so your experience is smoother.

We also use technologies like pixels, tags, and scripts for similar purposes. For simplicity, we call them all "cookies" here.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes:

Essential Cookies: Keep the website working — e.g. navigation, checkout, login.
Performance & Analytics: Understand what’s working (and what’s not). We use tools like Google Analytics.
Personalisation: Save your cart, remember your location or preferences.
Advertising & Retargeting: Show you more relevant ads or reminders. Our partners may include Google, Meta, Pinterest, and AdRoll.

What Data Cookies Collect

Cookies may collect:

IP address
Browser and device type
Geographic location (approximate)
Time spent on pages and links clicked
Shopping cart behaviour
Referring pages or search terms

We do not store sensitive personal data in cookies, like payment info or passwords.

Managing Your Cookies

You’re in control. You can disable or customise cookies using your browser settings. Just know that turning some off (like checkout cookies) may affect site functionality.

Opt out of ad targeting:

Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers let you send a “Do Not Track” signal. There’s no industry consensus on how to respond to these yet, so we don’t currently take action on DNT signals. We’re keeping an eye on this space.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally. We’ll post updates here and revise the “last updated” date at the top. Significant changes will be communicated via site banner or email.

Thanks for flying with us — and for letting us make your visit a little smoother, smarter, and more personal.
