Known Pty Ltd trading as Kudosity (“Kudosity”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) use cookies and similar technologies through our ‘Services’. Services include our Websites, web applications, customer portals and other online services operated by Known Pty Ltd.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, how third parties we may partner with may use them on the Services, and the choices available to you regarding cookies and similar technologies.
Introduction
This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our Websites. We believe in being open and clear about how we use your information.
For the purposes of this Policy, the term “Websites” refers collectively to all websites operated by the Known Group that link to this Policy.
1. Do we use Cookies?
Yes. We and our service providers, analytics providers, and advertising or marketing partners may use cookies and similar technologies to help ensure that everyone who uses the Websites has the best possible experience and to help us improve our Services.
2. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device by a web server. Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a longer period (persistent cookies). Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Some cookies are only used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, while some cookies are always used.
You can find more information about the cookies we use in this Policy. Where available, additional information may also be provided through online cookie consent or preference tools.
Web beacons, tags, scripts, and similar technologies may also be used on the Websites or in emails to help us deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness, and determine whether an email has been opened or acted upon. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies from our analytics and service providers on both an individual and aggregated basis.
3. Why do we use Cookies?
When you visit our Websites, we may place a number of cookies in your browser. Some of these are known as first-party cookies and are necessary to enable core website functionality, including maintaining session information as you navigate through the Websites.
We also use cookies and similar technologies to:
understand visitor and user preferences;
personalise and improve user experience;
track and analyse usage, navigation, and statistical information; and
support security and performance of the Websites and Services.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. Where available, you can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent tools or your browser settings. If you choose not to activate the cookie or to later disable cookies, some features or functionality of the Websites may not operate properly.
4. How to disable Cookies
You can generally activate or later de-activate the use of cookies through a functionality built into your web browser. To learn more about how to control cookie settings through your browser:

Some third-party providers may provide their own tools for managing advertising preferences. Many jurisdictions require or recommend that website operators inform users about the nature of the cookies they use and, in some circumstances, obtain consent before placing certain cookies on user devices.
The Websites include third-party social media features, such as the Facebook “Like button”, and third-party widgets or embedded content. These features may collect your IP address, identify which pages you are visiting on the Websites, and may set cookies or similar technologies to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policies of the relevant third-party providers.
We may use the following categories of cookies on the Websites:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Sometimes called “first-party cookies” or “strictly necessary”, these cannot generally be disabled through cookie consent tools where available because they are necessary for the operation of the Websites and enable core functionality such as security, network management, accessibility, and remembering your preferences as you move around the Websites. |
| Analytics Cookies | Used only where permitted by applicable law or with consent where required. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Websites so that we can improve performance, functionality, and user experience. For example, they may collect information about how visitors use the Websites, which pages are visited, how long users remain on the Websites, and how users interact with content or features. They may help provide more relevant content or suggest certain activities, and understand the efficiency of advertisements, pages, or features. |
| Functionality or Preference Cookies | These cookies remember information you have entered or choices you make, such as username, language, or region, and help personalise your experience on the Websites to optimise your use of our Services. |
| Targeting or Advertising Cookies | These cookies (sometimes called “behavioural”, “tracking” or “targeted”) may be placed by third-party advertising platforms or networks to deliver advertisements, measure advertising effectiveness, and provide advertising that may be more relevant to your interests and browsing activity. |
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third parties acting on our behalf or providing services such as analytics, embedded content or advertising. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy information provided by those third parties.
6. Cookies Subject to Change
The content of this Policy is provided for general use and information purposes only. We may update the cookies we use from time to time as our Websites, Services, technologies or legal obligations change. We will update this Policy as reasonably practicable to reflect those changes.
7. Cookies Used in Our Services
In addition to using cookies on our Websites as described above, we may also use cookies and similar tracking technologies in connection with access to, and use of, the products and services we make available through our Services.
8. Updating This Policy
If there are any material changes to this Policy, we will provide notice as required by applicable law, including by posting a notice on our Websites before the changes become effective where appropriate. Your continued use of the Websites following any updates to this Policy constitutes acceptance of those changes to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not accept the terms of this Policy, you may discontinue use of and access to the Websites.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. For more information about how we handle personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
