Cookies Policy

Last updated: 9 February 2026

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, why they’re called cookies, how we use them, and the choices you have when using the ABC Park & Ride website.

What is a Cookies Policy?

A Cookies Policy explains how a website uses cookies (small files stored on your device) to make the site work properly, understand how it’s used, and support features such as analytics and affiliate referrals.

It also explains what choices you have about cookies and how you can manage them.

Why are they called “cookies”?

Despite the name, cookies have nothing to do with food.

In the early days of the internet, developers used the word “cookie” as a friendly term for a small piece of data that a website gives to your browser to hold onto and return later.
Web cookies are small, harmless data files that help websites remember things - such as preferences, selections, or that you’ve visited before.

The name stuck because it sounded simple and non-technical, and it’s now the standard term used across the web.
