1: What are cookies?
Swag is a brand of Employment Hero Pty Ltd (also referred to as the "we" or "us") that uses cookies on the Swag Services. A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are created when your browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website"s server. Find out more about the use of cookies on www.allaboutcookies.org.
We also use other forms of technology (such as web beacons and, in apps, software development kits usually referred to as SDKs) which serve a similar purpose to cookies and which allow us to monitor and improve our platforms and email communications. When we talk about cookies in this Cookie Policy, this term includes these similar technologies. If you would like more information about our privacy practices, please consult our Privacy Policy or EU/UK Privacy Policy.
2: Web Beacons / Gifs
We may from time to time employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons) that help us better manage content on our Swag Services by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on our Swag Services and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
3: Third Party Cookies
When you visit certain sections of our Swag Services, third parties may place cookies on your computer's browser and/or make use of web beacons to collect information. This information may include things such as your use of the Swag website or Swag mobile application, device and browser information and ad data. The information generated by the cookies and web beacons about your use of the website is transmitted to those third parties. You should review the privacy and cookie policies of these services to find out how these third parties use cookies.

5: Cookie Lifespan
Cookies can last on a user's browser till the time it is set to expire and typically last from seconds to years. The cookie expiration or cookie duration is generally set by the domain or third party that drops the cookies. There are 2 types of cookies that may be deployed: Sessions cookies and persistent cookies.
Session cookies
These cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends).
Persistent cookies
This category encompasses all cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie's expiration date. All persistent cookies have an expiration date written into their code, but their duration can vary. They are used to remember a user and their preferences on a website.
