This Cookie Policy explains how the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia (we, us, our) uses cookies and similar technologies across our websites:

• raswa.org.au (Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia)
• perthroyalshow.com.au (Perth Royal Show)

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They are used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with a site.

We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage (which save small amounts of information in your browser) and pixels and scripts loaded from our analytics and marketing partners.

In this policy, we use the word "cookies" to refer to all of these technologies collectively.

How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

• Keep you logged in to the Affiliate Portal and CMS
• Remember items you've added to your cart
• Remember events, rides, and vendors you've saved in "My Show"
• Measure how visitors use our sites so we can improve them
• Show relevant content through our forms and newsletter sign-ups
• Display embedded content such as videos, maps, and social media feeds

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential for our websites to function. Without them, services like logging in, submitting forms, or completing a purchase would not work. They cannot be switched off.

We also use browser local storage to hold your shopping cart contents (raswa-product-cart-*), affiliate loan cart (raswa-loan-cart), and "My Show" selections (prs-my-show) so that they are not lost if you refresh the page. This information stays on your device and is not transmitted to us except when you submit a form or complete a purchase.

Functional

These cookies help our websites remember choices you make and improve your experience.

Analytics

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors find and use our websites so we can improve content, navigation, and performance. Information collected is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

Embedded content

Some pages include content from third-party services. These providers may set their own cookies when their content loads, governed by their own privacy policies.

If you click through to one of these services, any cookies they set are subject to their privacy policies, not ours.

Managing cookies

Because we do not deliver targeted advertising from our sites, we do not offer an in-site cookie opt-out. You can still control cookies through your browser:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of our websites from working correctly, in particular the Affiliate Portal, shopping cart, and "My Show".

Opting out of Google Analytics

If you would like to prevent Google Analytics from measuring your visits across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on from https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our websites, the cookies we use, or the law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
