1. Introduction

BusMeCentral (Business SME Central Hub) is operated by Richard Hembu, trading as WEBSOFT-PNG, a registered business name in Papua New Guinea.

This Cookie & Tracking Policy explains how cookies, browser storage and similar technologies may be used when individuals access BusMeCentral.

It should be read together with the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information that websites may store through a user's browser.

They can help websites recognize sessions, remember preferences, maintain authentication and provide other functions.

Some applications also use browser storage or related technologies that perform similar purposes without relying on traditional cookies.

3. Technologies Used by BusMeCentral

Depending on the application's technical configuration, BusMeCentral may use:

  • Authentication cookies or tokens.
  • Session-management technologies.
  • Browser storage used for application functionality.
  • Security and fraud-prevention mechanisms.
  • Preferences or settings storage.
  • Technical monitoring associated with hosting and application reliability.

The exact technologies, providers and retention periods depend on the deployed application and supporting infrastructure.

WEBSOFT-PNG will review the technologies used by BusMeCentral as part of maintaining accurate privacy and security disclosures.

4. Essential Cookies and Storage

Certain cookies or browser-storage technologies may be necessary to operate BusMeCentral.

These may support:

  • User login and authenticated sessions.
  • Account security.
  • Access to authorized business information.
  • Session continuity.
  • Basic application functionality.

Disabling essential technologies may prevent some application features from working correctly.

Essential technologies are intended to support purposes reasonably necessary for operating and securing the service.

5. Functional Preferences

BusMeCentral may use browser storage or similar technologies to remember supported user preferences, such as display settings or application choices.

These technologies may help provide a more consistent experience when users return to the application.

Functional storage will not be intentionally used for unrelated advertising purposes without appropriate disclosure and, where legally required, consent.

6. Analytics and Performance Monitoring

BusMeCentral may use technical monitoring tools provided by its application or hosting infrastructure to investigate errors, maintain service reliability and understand technical performance.

Additional analytics technologies may be introduced where appropriate for legitimate service improvement.

Before introducing optional analytics, WEBSOFT-PNG will assess their purpose, provider, information collected, retention arrangements and applicable notice or consent requirements.

This policy does not represent that any particular third-party analytics product is currently installed or active.

7. Advertising and Marketing Tracking

BusMeCentral does not require advertising tracking technologies for its core business-management functions.

Advertising pixels, cross-site marketing trackers or similar optional technologies will be assessed for their privacy implications and applicable consent requirements before introduction.

Registering for a BusMeCentral account does not automatically constitute consent to advertising tracking or promotional marketing.

Where optional advertising or marketing tracking requires consent under applicable law, the relevant consent must be obtained before that tracking is activated.

8. Third-Party Technologies

BusMeCentral relies on third-party infrastructure and may use technologies supplied by hosting, authentication, security or other service providers.

These providers may process technical information necessary to deliver their services.

Depending on the provider and infrastructure configuration, technical information may be processed or stored outside Papua New Guinea.

WEBSOFT-PNG will take reasonable steps to assess relevant provider technologies and their information-handling arrangements.

Users may consult relevant service-provider privacy information where those providers are identified in published disclosures.

Further information about third-party processing is provided in the Privacy Policy.

9. Cookie and Storage Retention

Cookies and browser-storage items may have different lifetimes.

Some expire when a browser session ends, while others may remain for a longer period to support authentication, preferences or security.

The actual retention periods depend on the technologies configured in BusMeCentral and the relevant service providers.

WEBSOFT-PNG does not guarantee a particular cookie or storage expiry period unless that period has been verified.

Users may remove supported stored information through their browser controls, although some information may be recreated when they access the application again.

10. Managing Cookies and Browser Storage

Users may be able to manage, block or remove cookies and stored website data through their browser settings.

Blocking or deleting certain technologies may cause users to be signed out or prevent essential application functions from working.

Browser controls vary according to the browser and device being used.

Users should refer to their browser's privacy and website-data settings for available controls.

Removing browser storage does not necessarily delete information retained within a BusMeCentral account or its supporting databases.

11. Consent for Optional Tracking

Where applicable law requires consent for optional cookies or tracking technologies, WEBSOFT-PNG will obtain appropriate consent before activating those technologies.

Essential authentication and security technologies may be handled differently where permitted by applicable law.

Cookie notices or preference controls will be introduced where necessary for the technologies actually used and applicable requirements.

WEBSOFT-PNG will not intentionally represent that optional tracking is disabled unless that representation is supported by the application's configuration.

Where applicable, users will be provided with information about their available choices concerning optional tracking.

12. Protection of Information

Information collected through cookies or related technologies is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable security arrangements.

WEBSOFT-PNG takes reasonable steps to restrict unauthorized access to account and technical information.

Access to information is subject to the application's authentication, authorization and administrative security controls.

However, no internet-based technology can guarantee absolute security.

Users should protect their account credentials and report suspected unauthorized activity through the available support channels.

13. Changes to This Policy

WEBSOFT-PNG may update this policy when application functionality, service providers, tracking technologies or applicable requirements change.

Updated versions will identify their effective dates.

Material changes will be communicated appropriately, and additional consent will be sought where required by applicable law.

Changes will not remove rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
