Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3/9/2026
Awesome Lending Solutions (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies on this website (awesomelendingsolutions.com.au) to help it run properly, understand how visitors use it, and improve your experience. This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your device when you visit. They help the site remember things about your visit, like your preferences or how you found us, and they help us understand how our website is being used.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for a few main purposes:
Essential cookies These are needed for the website to work properly — for example, letting you fill in and submit an enquiry form. Without these, some parts of the site won’t function correctly.
Analytics cookies We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are popular, how people find us, and where we can improve. This information is anonymised and doesn’t identify you personally.
Advertising cookies We run advertising through platforms like Google Ads and Bing Ads to reach people looking for home loan help. These cookies allow us to measure how well our ads are performing and, in some cases, show you relevant ads on other websites.
Social media cookies If you interact with content linked to our Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or other social channels, those platforms may set their own cookies in line with their own privacy policies.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit our site, you’ll see a cookie banner where you can accept all cookies or decline non-essential ones. You can change your preferences at any time by [clearing your cookies in your browser settings / using the cookie preferences link in our website footer].
Most browsers also let you control cookies through their settings — you can usually find this under “Privacy” or “Security.” Turning off cookies may affect how parts of this website work.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and any live chat or booking tools on our site. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
How this fits with our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy works alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
