Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 9, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Airport Parking Sydney. We operate the website airportsydneyparking.com and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and should be read alongside it.

This policy applies to all visitors to our website and explains in plain language what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control or remove them. Our practices are designed to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), as well as applicable guidance issued by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are stored in your browser's designated folder on your device. Each time you return to a website, your browser sends these cookies back to the website's server, allowing the site to recognise your device and remember information about your previous visit.

Cookies do not typically contain personal information such as your name or payment details in themselves; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit airportsydneyparking.com for the first time, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally. On subsequent visits, your browser automatically sends the stored cookie back to our server along with your page request. This enables us to identify returning visitors, remember your preferences, and deliver a more personalised experience.

Some cookies are set directly by our website (known as first-party cookies), while others are set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks (known as third-party cookies).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, as explained below.

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features and services cannot be provided. Essential cookies do not require your consent because they are technically necessary to deliver the service you have requested. They are typically set in response to actions you take such as filling in forms, setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or completing a parking booking.

• Session management
• Security and fraud prevention
• Load balancing across servers
• Remembering items in your booking cart
• Storing your cookie consent preferences

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to improve how our website works and to understand how our users interact with our content.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand visitor behaviour on our website. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to track usage patterns.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, your booking details, or your location) and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

• Remembering your selected parking location near Sydney Airport
• Storing your booking reference for return visits
• Remembering any accessibility preferences you have set
• Maintaining your language and regional preferences

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) to run targeted advertising campaigns. Google Ads places cookies on your device to track conversions and to enable remarketing — showing you our ads after you have visited our website while you browse other websites.

4. Cookies We Use — Detailed Table

5. Third-Party Cookies and Services

In addition to our own cookies, we permit certain trusted third parties to place cookies on your device when you visit our website. These third parties provide services that help us operate, analyse, and market our parking services effectively. We do not have direct control over the cookies set by these third parties and recommend that you review their own privacy and cookie policies for more information.

5.1 Google LLC

We use Google Analytics and Google Ads services provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google may transfer and process data in the United States and other countries. Google's data practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

5.2 Meta Platforms (Facebook)

We may use Facebook Pixel, a service provided by Meta Platforms, Inc., to track conversions from Facebook advertisements, optimise ads, and build targeted audiences. Facebook's data practices are governed by the Meta Privacy Policy, available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/.

8. Cookies and Children

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

9. Legal Basis for Using Cookies in Australia

Our use of cookies is governed primarily by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). While Australian law does not currently impose a specific opt-in consent requirement for cookies equivalent to the EU's GDPR or ePrivacy Directive, we are committed to transparency and best practice.

In accordance with Australian Privacy Principle 5 (APP 5), we notify you of the purposes for which we collect your personal information, including through cookies. Where our cookies collect personal information (as defined under the Privacy Act), we handle that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We also have regard to the OAIC's guidance on online tracking and privacy to ensure our practices remain fair, transparent, and in the best interests of our users.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not specifically alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 6 to limit tracking on our website.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice such as an alert banner on our website.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies. Your continued use of airportsydneyparking.com after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes to the extent permitted by applicable law.
