Effective Date: 11 March 2026
Zed Haque Pty Ltd (ABN 47 647 964 887) ("we", "us", or "our") operates the SpeakNow platform, accessible at speakn0w.com ("Platform"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Our registered address is 9 Maple Tree Road, Westmead, New South Wales 2145, Australia.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website operators.
Cookies may be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies on the Platform for the following purposes:
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the Platform cannot operate properly.
- Authentication cookies: used to identify you when you sign in and maintain your session.
- Security cookies: used to support security features and detect malicious activity.
- Cookie consent cookie: used to remember your cookie preference choices.
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, personalised features.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use the Platform, including which pages are visited most often and any error messages encountered. This information helps us improve the Platform and your experience. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymous where possible.
2.4 Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how the Platform performs, such as page load times, to help us monitor and improve performance.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Platform are set by third-party services we use, such as:
- Analytics providers: to help us understand Platform usage and trends.
- Payment processors: to facilitate secure payment transactions.
- Authentication providers: to support sign-in functionality.
These third parties may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit the Platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device.
- Delete cookies individually or in bulk.
- Block cookies from specific or all websites.
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.
Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the Platform to operate.

5. Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage and similar browser-based technologies to store preferences and other data on your device. These technologies function similarly to cookies but may store larger amounts of data. Your cookie consent preferences, for example, are stored using local storage.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we respect your cookie preferences as set through our consent banner and your browser settings.
7. Australian Law
While Australia does not have a specific "cookie law" equivalent to the EU's ePrivacy Directive, our use of cookies and collection of data through them is governed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). We are committed to transparency and giving you control over your data. For more details about how we handle your personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" above. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically.
