3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
Essential Cookies are technical prerequisites required for core security, network administration, user authentication, and system accessibility.

Analytical Cookies monitor visitor interactions, site performance metrics, traffic sources, and platform feature engagement.
- Operational Purpose: Tracking page impression counts, bounce rates, navigation pathways, error logs, render speeds, and general geographic location derived from IP addresses.

3.4 Marketing, Remarketing, and Advertising Cookies
Marketing Cookies monitor online browsing activity across platforms to deliver targeted commercial announcements and measure campaign performance.
- Operational Purpose: Retaining listing category interactions, displaying AsetraX service features on third-party networks, preventing ad fatigue, and auditing affiliate traffic conversions.

5. ADDITIONAL DIGITAL TELEMETRY TECHNOLOGIES
5.1 Web Beacons and Tracking Pixels
AsetraX embeds transparent pixel tags within marketing communications and listing interfaces. These pixels monitor whether an HTML email was rendered, track link clicks, and record conversion endpoints. This data is processed strictly under the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (NZ) and Spam Act 2003 (Cth) (AU).
5.2 HTML5 Local Storage
AsetraX utilizes HTML5 local storage objects (LSOs) to store client-side preferences, interface states, and dynamic search parameters. Local storage data remains stored on your device until manually purged through browser clearing utilities.
5.3 Mobile Device Identifiers
When accessing the Platform via mobile devices, hardware-generated advertising IDs (e.g., IDFA on iOS or AAID on Android) may be processed to measure promotional campaigns and audit system stability. Users may reset or restrict these identifiers via device operating system privacy settings.
