online behavioural advertising

At Australian Frontline Machinery, we aim to deliver advertising for products and services that align with your needs and interests. To achieve this, we use online advertising methods. For instance, we collaborate with websites where you have directly shared your interests, conditions, and concerns. These websites then serve our ads to users who have indicated an interest in Australian Frontline Machinery products or ex-Military assets that suit your interests. Additionally, we may partner with advertising companies to deliver ads based on your web browsing activity, purchases, and interests. These techniques fall under the umbrella of online behavioural advertising (OBA).

You can learn more about OBA through resources provided by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at link.

We strive to make it easy for you to understand how we and our business partners utilize information to tailor ads for you and to opt out of targeting based on OBA.
