We will only deal with your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act and this privacy policy.

Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your computer’s hard drive when you use our website. Cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website to tailor it to our customers’ needs. A cookie does not give us access to your computer or any information about you other than the data you choose to share with us.

 

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, if you do this it may prevent you from taking full advantage of our website.

 

Third party cookies and other technologies: we use third party cookies and other technologies for marketing purposes and to gather website analytics. This includes: 

 

Remarketing: we use third party cookies – such as Google Analytics cookies – to keep track of the reports or pages you’re interested in and remarket them to you when you leave our site (as a result, you may see ads from Newma when you visit other websites).

 

To provide the best service to our customers we collect your data through our online questionnaires to help personalise our recommendations to best fit our client’s needs.  We use the following third party applications to assist us in improving the process for our clients: Trail, Google Analytics, Meta Connect, Segment, and omni-max

 

Impression reporting: we use web beacons to estimate the number of users that have viewed and clicked on our pages or promotions, and as a result we’re able to gauge the success of a campaign.

 

Demographics and interest reporting: we use cookies and web beacons to get an overview of our readership broken down by age, gender and interests, and as a result we can provide you with relevant information, services, and features, plus gauge the popularity of our content.

 

You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site. For more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics please visit this page.

 

Other information we collect

We collect and use additional information to carry out internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behaviour to better understand and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP address.

 

If you post on our site, on Twitter or Facebook or other social media site about us or your experience with us, we may collect that information for the purposes of improving our service and the end-user experience.

 

Sometimes, we might want to use the messages you post about Newma in our articles or marketing material. If so, we will get your permission before copying or quoting your message or comment.

Our website may contain links to enable you to easily visit other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. We do not endorse any third-party websites or their content, and we have no control over the conduct of the companies or organisations operating those sites.

 

Before you disclose any personal information to another site, we advise you to check its terms and conditions, including its privacy and security policies.
