Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Cookie Policy required under Australian Privacy Act?

A Cookie Policy is best practice for Australian Privacy Act, even if not strictly mandated. It demonstrates transparency and builds user trust. For Wix Site businesses using analytics or advertising tools, it is strongly recommended.

What cookies does a Wix Site website typically use?

A typical Wix Site website uses: essential session cookies, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.), functional preference cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies if you run paid campaigns. Each type must be disclosed in your Cookie Policy with its purpose.

Do I need a cookie consent banner if I have a Cookie Policy?

Under Australian Privacy Act, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
