Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 April 2026
The short version
Your Bin Reminder only uses cookies that are strictly necessary to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences. We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help websites remember your preferences and keep you signed in between visits. Under Australian law, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic), cookies that can identify you are considered personal information and must be handled accordingly.
2. Cookies we use
We use only strictly necessary cookies required to provide the core functionality of the service — keeping you securely signed in. Authentication is handled by Clerk, a US-based authentication provider. The session cookies set by Clerk are listed below.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __clerk_db_jwt | Stores your Clerk session token to keep you signed in securely | Essential | Session |
| __session | Maintains your active authenticated session across page loads | Essential | Session |
| __client_uat | Tracks client-side session state used by Clerk for authentication | Essential | Session |
| cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie consent preference (stored in localStorage) | Essential | Until cleared |
Clerk may set additional technical cookies as part of their authentication service. For full details, refer to Clerk's Privacy Policy. Clerk's infrastructure is based in the United States; by using this service you consent to your session data being processed in the USA in accordance with Australian Privacy Principle 8 (cross-border disclosure).
3. Cookies we do NOT use
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising identifiers, cross-site tracking cookies, or any third-party marketing or profiling cookies. Your browsing behaviour on this site is not tracked, profiled, or shared with advertisers or data brokers.
4. Legal basis for using cookies
The cookies we use are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested — they cannot be disabled without breaking authentication. Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), we are required to be transparent about what data we collect and why.
Because we only use essential cookies, Australian law does not require us to obtain explicit consent before setting them. However, we are committed to transparency and inform you of all cookies we use through this policy.
5. Managing and deleting cookies
You can delete or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that blocking or deleting essential session cookies will prevent you from staying signed in and may limit your use of the service.

6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our service evolves or if our use of cookies changes. Any updates will be reflected by a revised “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the service following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
