Cookie policy

Last updated: September 2026

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember information between visits or between pages, such as your preferences or whether you are signed in. We also use similar technologies, such as local storage, for the same purposes.

How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• keep you signed in and remember your account session;
• remember preferences, such as a location or a display setting;
• keep the Site secure and prevent misuse; and
• understand how the Site is used, so we can measure performance and improve it.

Types of cookies

Essential cookies are required for the Site to work, such as keeping you signed in and remembering items in progress across pages. The Site does not function properly without them.

Preference cookies remember choices you have made, such as a location or a display setting, so you do not have to set them again on your next visit.

Analytics cookies record how visitors use bestcompare.com.au. We load PostHog on the marketplace. We also load Google Analytics when a measurement ID is configured. These tags load by default. The Site has no control that turns them off.

Generated Websites on a custom domain or a platform subdomain do not load BestCompare analytics.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by service providers we use to operate the Site. PostHog and Google Analytics set cookies when those tags load. Stripe can set cookies for payments. Those providers control their own cookies under their own privacy and cookie practices.

Managing cookies

Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. If you block or delete essential cookies, parts of the Site - such as staying signed in - can stop working properly. If you block analytics cookies, the Site still works.

Changes to this page

We may update this Cookie policy as the Site develops. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision.
