Cookie Policy

Last updated: 19 April 2026

This policy explains how Talisman Hobbies uses cookies and similar technologies on talismanhobbies.com.au, and how you can control them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use comparable technologies such as local storage, pixels, and session-recording SDKs. We call all of these "cookies" below.

2. Cookies we use

(a) Strictly necessary — always on, no consent required

ePages session cookies — keeping your login and basket working.
Security / CSRF tokens — preventing cross-site request forgery.
Cookie-preference cookie — remembering your choice from the banner.

(b) Analytics — only if you consent

Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_<property-id>) — aggregate traffic and conversion statistics. Retention: 14 months.
Hotjar (_hjSession, _hjIncludedInSessionSample, and related) — session recording and heatmaps. Retention: 365 days.

(c) Marketing — none currently

We do not run Meta, TikTok, Google Ads or Pinterest pixels at this time. If that changes we will update this list and ask for fresh consent.

3. How to manage your preferences

Use the cookie preferences banner that appears on your first visit, or click "Cookie preferences" in the site footer to change your choices at any time.
You can also block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will break the checkout and log-in.
