What we store in your browser, why, and how you control it
Effective Date: 07/07/26
You can change your choice at any time — nothing is locked in.
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. We (and the tools we use) also use comparable technologies — like browser local storage — for the same purposes. This policy covers all of them, and it works together with our Privacy Policy.
First-party cookies are set by tutaxaustralia.com directly. Third-party cookies are set by services we embed on the page, such as Google or Microsoft — they can only read the data they themselves set, not each other's.
TuTax Return (this website) is the data controller. The cookies described below are set by us directly, or by these processors on our behalf:
Remembers your cookie choice, and powers the embedded booking/contact form (GoHighLevel). Without these, the site and its forms don't work. No consent toggle is offered because none is legally required for these.
Loads Google Tag Manager together with Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity. Nothing here loads, and no cookie here is set, until you accept this category — not a soft opt-out, an actual technical block.
Loads the GoHighLevel CRM attribution script, which tells us which channel or campaign brought you here. Same rule: nothing loads until you accept.
Simple Analytics runs without cookies and without collecting personal data or cross-site identifiers, so it isn't gated behind consent — it's disclosed here for full transparency.
Exact cookie names as documented by each provider. Google and Microsoft can update these at any time; we review this table periodically to keep it accurate.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ttr_cookie_consent | TuTax Return (first-party) | Stores your cookie preferences | Necessary | 1 year |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes visitors and sessions | Analytics | Up to 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes visitors | Analytics | 24 hours |
| _clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Persists your Clarity user/session ID for session recordings and heatmaps | Analytics | 1 day – 1 year |
| CLID, ANONCHK, MUID, MR, SM | Microsoft Clarity / Bing | Identifies the browser across visits for Clarity analytics | Analytics | 1 day – 1 year |
| Attribution cookies set by link.msgsndr.com | GoHighLevel / LeadConnector | Records which channel/campaign led to your visit and lead | Marketing | Up to 1 year |
Analytics and Marketing cookies are only set on the basis of your consent. Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the site and delivering the service you explicitly requested (e.g. submitting a booking form).
A banner appears on your first visit, with an "Accept all" and a "Reject all" option of equal weight, plus a way to choose category by category. You can reopen this at any time via "Cookie Settings" in the footer, or the button at the top of this page.
We keep your preference for up to 12 months, or until you change it, or until we materially change the cookies we use — whichever comes first. After that we'll ask again.
Google, Microsoft and GoHighLevel/LeadConnector may process data outside Australia and outside the EEA, including in the United States. Where that applies to EEA visitors, these providers rely on mechanisms such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.
Beyond our own banner, you can block or delete cookies directly in your browser:
Doing this may break the booking/contact forms, since those rely on the necessary category.
You can access, rectify, delete, restrict, object to, or request portability of your data at any time — see section 7 of our Privacy Policy for how. If you're in the EU/EEA, you can also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in Spain, the AEPD). If you're in Australia, you can complain to the OAIC.
This site isn't directed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly set marketing or analytics cookies for them.
If we add or remove a tracking tool, we'll update this page and, where the change is material, ask for your consent again.
