- Cookies and similar technologies. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, measure audience activity and deliver advertising. See section 5 below.
2. How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- operate, maintain and improve the Site;

3. Analytics
We use analytics services to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve our content and experience:
- Google Analytics, provided by Google, which uses cookies to collect usage data. Information generated about your use of the Site may be transmitted to and stored by Google. You can learn more at Google's privacy policy and opt out using Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data or track you across websites.
4. Advertising
The Site is supported by advertising. We work with Freestar and use Google Ad Manager and associated advertising partners to serve and measure ads. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertising, including personalised advertising where you have consented.
Where required, we present a consent management platform that lets you accept or manage how your data is used for advertising and related purposes. You can change your choices at any time through the privacy or consent settings available on the Site. Our advertising partners act as independent controllers of the data they collect; we recommend reviewing their own privacy policies for details of their practices.

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the Site working, remember your preferences, measure audience activity and support advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and manage advertising and consent choices through the consent tool on the Site. Disabling some cookies may affect how the Site functions.
6. Membership and newsletters
Our membership and newsletter functionality is provided through Ghost, our publishing platform. If you subscribe or create an account, the email address and account information you provide are processed by Ghost on our behalf to deliver newsletters and manage your membership. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
7. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:
- service providers who help us operate the Site (such as our analytics, advertising, hosting and email providers), who may only use it to provide their services to us;
- our related companies within the New Speed Pty Ltd network; and
- authorities or other parties where required or permitted by law.
8. Overseas disclosure
Some of our service providers are located outside Australia, including in the United States and the European Union. Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
9. Data retention and security
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
