XCMG Australia Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 3, 2025

1. Introduction

At XCMG Australia, we use cookies and similar technologies to make our website work efficiently, improve performance, and understand how visitors interact with our content. Some cookies are essential to the functioning of the site, while others help us provide analytics, enhance your browsing experience, or display relevant social and marketing content.

Our website address is https://xcmg.net.au. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, what happens if you refuse consent, and how you can manage or delete them at any time.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites store on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit them. They allow websites to recognise your browser and remember information such as your preferences, login status, and past activity.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several reasons:

  • To ensure the website functions correctly
  • To remember your settings and preferences
  • To protect our website from spam or abuse
  • To analyse visitor behaviour and improve usability
  • To display relevant content and advertising

You can choose to accept or refuse cookies, and you can delete them from your device at any time.

4. What Happens If You Refuse Consent

You are free to refuse or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time.

Here’s what that means for your browsing experience:

  • Functional cookies: These are required for basic operation (such as remembering your login, form submissions, or shopping cart items). If you block or delete them, some parts of the website may stop working properly.
  • Analytical cookies: If you disable these, we won’t be able to collect anonymous data about how visitors use our website. As a result, we may not be able to improve the website experience as effectively.
  • Marketing cookies: Refusing these means you’ll still see ads, but they won’t be tailored to your interests. Social media sharing tools or embedded content from platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn may not function correctly.

You can manage your preferences through the cookie banner on our site or directly through your browser settings.
