Cookie Policy.

How we use cookies on FreeVendingMachines.au, and how you can opt in or out of non-essential tracking.

Last updated: September 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Similar technologies — such as localStorage — behave the same way for the purposes of this policy.

2. Cookies we use

Essential (always on)

Required for the site to function — remembering your cookie choice, keeping form state, basic security. These do not track you across other sites.

Example: fvm-cookie-consent — stores your consent choice.

Analytics (opt-in)

With your consent, we use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics / Tag Manager) to understand aggregate visitor behaviour — which pages are viewed, which CTAs are clicked — so we can improve the site. These are not loaded unless you accept.

Third-party embeds

Some pages embed content from third parties (e.g. Google Fonts). These providers may set their own cookies subject to their own policies.

3. Your choice

When you first visit the site we show a banner asking you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your decision at any time below. Rejecting analytics does not affect your ability to enquire, use the calculator, or receive a quote.

Your current setting

No choice recorded yet

4. Browser controls

You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings. Doing so may affect how some websites function.

5. More information

See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal information under the Australian Privacy Principles, and our Terms of Service for the terms that apply to your use of this site.

Cookies on this site: what they do and how to control them

The short version

A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser so it can remember something between page loads. This site uses very few of them, and the site works perfectly well if you decline the optional ones. Nothing here requires you to accept tracking in order to read a page, use the earnings calculator or submit a request for a free vending machine.

We use three broad categories: strictly necessary, preference and analytics. There is no advertising or cross-site profiling cookie set by us.

Strictly necessary and preference cookies

Strictly necessary cookies make the site function. They keep a form submission intact while you move between steps, protect against automated abuse of our forms, and remember whether you have already made a cookie choice so the banner does not reappear on every page. These cannot be switched off without breaking basic functionality, and they do not identify you personally.

Preference cookies remember small choices you have made — for example, a product category you selected on the homepage — so the page behaves sensibly when you come back to it.

Analytics

Analytics cookies, which run only if you consent, tell us which pages people actually read, which guides get finished, and where people give up. That information is used to write better pages, not to identify you. We look at it in aggregate — page-level trends across the site — rather than at individual browsing histories.

If you decline analytics, we simply lose that visibility for your visit. Nothing about the site changes for you.

Changing your mind, and browser-level control

You can change your cookie choice at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser, which will bring the consent banner back on your next visit. Every mainstream browser also lets you block or delete cookies globally or per site — the controls sit under Privacy or Site Settings in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge, and mobile browsers have the same options under Settings.

Blocking all cookies site-wide may affect form submissions and will mean the consent banner reappears each time you arrive, because the record of your choice is itself stored in a cookie. If you have questions about anything on this page, call 0401 662 678 or use the contact form.

  • No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are set by this site
  • Analytics runs only with your consent and is reviewed in aggregate
  • Declining optional cookies does not restrict any part of the site
  • Clear this site's cookies to reset your choice and see the banner again
