Last updated: 13 October 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Planned Resources (“Planned Resources”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on plannedresources.com.au (the “Website”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit a website. They let the website recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used.
- First-party cookies are set by the Website itself.
- Third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose service we use on the Website, such as Google.
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
In this policy, “cookies” also includes similar technologies such as tracking scripts, pixels and browser storage that work in a similar way.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- make the Website work securely, including our contact and CV submission forms;
- protect our forms from spam and automated abuse;

- understand which pages and job listings generate interest from candidates and employers.
We do not use cookies to sell your personal information, and we do not use the Website’s cookies to show you third-party advertising.

4. Third-Party Services
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use. These providers may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information and the pages you visit, and may process it outside Australia, including in the United States. Their use of that information is governed by their own privacy policies:

Embedded Content
Pages on the Website may include content from other websites, such as maps or links to our LinkedIn and X (Twitter) profiles. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the other website, and that website may set its own cookies. When you click through to an external site, its own cookie and privacy policies apply.
Recruitment Records
If you submit a form or upload your CV, information collected through Roi-AI website tracking may be associated with your candidate or client record. We handle that information in line with our Privacy Policy.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways. Blocking strictly necessary cookies, such as reCAPTCHA, may stop our forms from working.
