How GoodBuddy uses cookies and similar technologies across our website and embedded services.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and software development kit identifiers. They help websites remember choices, operate securely and understand how people use a service.
2. How GoodBuddy uses them
Depending on the features you use, GoodBuddy may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential: security, navigation, load balancing and core website or account functions.
- Preferences: remembering settings or choices you make.
- Performance: measuring reliability, page performance and aggregate usage.
- Embedded services: enabling calendars, booking forms or other features you choose to open.
3. Third-party services
When you open an embedded booking calendar, dashboard, video, demo or connected service, that provider may set its own cookies. Its policy governs those cookies. We aim to load non-essential embedded services only when needed for the feature you request.
4. Your choices
You can block or remove cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the website, dashboard or booking experience from working correctly.
Browser settings differ, so use your browser's privacy or security menu for current instructions. Clearing cookies may also remove saved preferences.
5. How long cookies remain
Session cookies generally expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain for the period set by GoodBuddy or the relevant provider, unless you remove them sooner. We review our use of cookies as the site changes.
6. Personal information
If cookie or device information identifies an individual, we handle it under our Privacy Policy and applicable New Zealand privacy law.
7. Changes and questions
We may update this policy when technology, providers or legal requirements change. Questions can be raised through our Contact Us page.
