What cookies are
First-party and third-party
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It allows the site to recognise your browser on later visits or during the same session.
Cookies can be set by the site you are visiting, which are known as first-party cookies, or by other services that run on the page, which are known as third-party cookies. They do not run programs on your device and they do not deliver viruses. A cookie carries a small amount of information, usually an identifier that the site's server or a script can read back on a later request.
A cookie on its own does not identify you by name, and it does not give anyone access to your device.
It links a browser to a session or to a set of pages viewed. That distinction matters when you decide which cookies you want to keep and which you would rather block.
How this site uses cookies
We use cookies to support basic site functionality and to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use our pages. That helps us see which parking questions come up most often and where a page could be clearer.
We do not use cookies to collect payment information, and we do not process parking bookings on this site. If you go on to prebook Melbourne Airport parking through an operator's own booking flow, that operator's site and its cookie rules apply at that point.
What the site uses cookies for
- Page function
- Keeping basic features working while you move between pages.
- Usage review
- Counting anonymous visits and pages viewed so we know which terminal and shuttle guidance readers look for.
- Not used
- Payment details, booking records or parking transactions. Airport parking is prebooked on the operator's own site, not here.
Types of cookies
The site may use strictly necessary cookies that keep basic features working, and analytics cookies that record anonymous usage patterns such as pages viewed. Analytics data is reviewed in aggregate rather than tied to individual visitors.
Strictly necessary
These keep core features running: page navigation, form handling and any security checks required to stop misuse. They do not track you across other websites.

Analytics
These record anonymous usage patterns such as which pages readers open and how long they stay. Reports show totals and trends, not named visitors.
Aggregate review only
If we introduce other categories in future, this policy will describe them and, where required, ask for your consent before they are set.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services that help the site function, such as analytics providers. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control. We choose services with reasonable privacy practices, but we encourage you to review the relevant provider policies if you want detail on how they handle data.
If a third-party service is removed from the site, its cookies stop being set on new visits. Any cookie already stored in your browser stays until it expires or you delete it through your browser settings.
How to check a provider's own rules
Look for the provider's privacy policy or cookie notice, usually linked in the footer of the service's own website. It will say what is collected, why, and how long it is kept.
Managing and deleting cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies already stored. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working correctly.
The help section of your browser explains the specific steps for your version and platform. On mobile, the same options usually sit under the privacy or site settings menu of the browser app you use.
Where to look
- Desktop browsers: settings, then privacy and security.
- Mobile browsers: site settings inside the app's privacy menu.
- Clearing stored cookies returns every site you visit to its first-visit state.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if the cookies used on the site change or if legal requirements change. When that happens, we will revise this page. Any material change will be reflected here, and continued use of the site indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
For questions about cookies, use the contact details on our Contact page. This policy sits alongside our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service, which cover how we handle personal information and how the site may be used.
