Cookie Policy
This page explains the cookie files and similar technologies used on this Sydney Airport parking website, what each category does, and how you can control them from your own browser.
Whatever you are comparing on this site — a terminal-side bay, a valet handover, an off-airport shuttle or a long-stay deck — the cookie rules below apply to the whole site. They cover how the site remembers your choices and how we measure whether our pages are useful, not the parking options themselves.
What they are
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website asks your browser to store on your device. They let the site remember things between page loads — for example, whether you have already seen a notice, or which terminal page you were reading before you moved on. They are not programs, and they do not run anything on your computer.
A cookie identifies your browser or your device, not you as a person. On its own, the information in a cookie does not tell us your name, your contact details or your booking history.
The short version
-
Small files, not software
A cookie stores short pieces of text. It cannot read other files on your device and it cannot install anything.
-
Browser-scoped
Each cookie belongs to a site and a browser. Clearing one browser does not clear what another browser has stored.
-
Time-limited
Some expire when you close the browser, others stay for a set period and then lapse unless you remove them first.
Why the site sets them
Remembering where a traveller left off
Comparing parking near Sydney Airport usually takes more than one visit. You read the terminal pages, weigh a valet handover against an off-airport shuttle, and come back later to book. Cookies are what let the site hold your place between those visits.

Types of cookies we use
Each category below is set for a different purpose. The ring at the left of each row shows whether a category is essential, on by default, or something you can switch off in your browser without breaking the site.
-
Always on
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. They handle page delivery, security checks and the basic record of whether you have already responded to a notice, so you are not asked again on every page. The site cannot operate properly without them.
-
Optional
Functional
These remember the choices you make, such as the terminal you were last reading about or how you had a list sorted. They save you re-entering the same preferences each time you return. Removing them does not stop the site working, but it may feel less convenient.
-
Optional
Analytical
These tell us which pages visitors actually use, how long they stay and where they leave. The reports are aggregated: we see that a page was read, not who read it. We use the numbers to decide which parts of the site need rewriting.
-
Not used
Advertising and profiling
This site does not set advertising or cross-site profiling cookies of its own. If that ever changes, this page will be updated before those cookies are used, and the category will be listed here with its purpose.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by services we use rather than by us directly. The main example on this site is the analytics provider that produces our page reports. Because those files are written by the provider's own code, the provider decides how long they last and what they record.
Those services may collect information about your activity across different websites over time, using their own identifiers. We do not control that collection and we cannot read what a provider stores. Each provider's own privacy and cookie notices govern what it does with the data.
If you would rather limit third-party tracking, the most reliable route is your browser's own settings, or a browser extension that blocks third-party requests. Blocking them on this site will not stop you reading about Sydney airport parking options or checking terminal details.
What we do not control
- Retention periods
- How long a third-party file stays on your device is set by that provider, not by this site.
- Cross-site identifiers
- A provider may recognise the same browser on other websites it serves, using its own identifier.
- Provider policy changes
- If a provider changes its own terms, its notice — not this page — is the one that applies to its files.
Managing cookies
Your browser is the control panel. Every mainstream browser lets you see what is stored, delete some or all of it, block third-party files, and ask to be notified before a new cookie is written. The exact wording differs, but the four steps below cover any of them.
-
Open the settings
Look under privacy, security or site data. Most browsers group cookie controls there rather than under general preferences.
-
Review what is stored
The list shows which sites have written files to your browser. Removing an entry clears that site's stored preferences.
-
Choose a blocking level
Blocking third-party files stops most cross-site tracking while leaving first-party preferences such as remembered settings intact.
-
Check the effect
If a page behaves oddly after clearing everything, reload it once. Preferences are simply forgotten and will be set again on your next visit.
Worth knowing
Turning cookies off does not stop you reading about parking at Sydney Airport or taking note of rates before you book. It only means the site will not hold your preferences between visits.
Changes to this policy
One current version, always on this page
We update this Cookie Policy when the cookies we use change or when the rules that apply to them change. Where a revision only clarifies wording, it replaces the previous text here without further notice. Where a revision introduces a new category of cookie, that category will be described on this page before it is used.
There is no archive of superseded versions. The text published here is the version that applies whenever you use the site, so it is worth a quick check if you have not visited for a while.
