What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — such as your browser's local storage and scripts embedded from other companies — can be used in comparable ways. We use the word “cookies” loosely in this policy to cover all of them.
How we use them
We keep things deliberately light. We use a small set of cookies and similar technologies that fall into three groups: ones that are strictly necessary, ones that give us anonymous analytics, and a third-party finance calculator. The table below sets out exactly what each group does.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary
Always onExamples
Your saved cookie choice (kept in your browser)
What it's for
These keep the site working and remember the cookie preferences you set here, so we don’t have to ask again every visit. They don’t track you and the site can’t function properly without them, so they’re exempt from consent.
Analytics
Optional — off unless you allow itExamples
First-party, anonymised pageview & error logging
What it's for
Helps us understand which pages are visited and where the site is breaking, so we can improve it. We do not set advertising cookies and do not build a personal profile of you; visits are recorded against a daily-rotating, irreversible identifier that cannot be traced back to you.
Finance calculator
Optional — off unless you allow itExamples
autofinanceonline.co.uk embed + iframe-resizer script
What it's for
Powers the online finance calculator and application form on our Finance page. This is provided by a third party and may set their own cookies. If you do not allow it, the calculator is hidden and you can apply by phone instead.
What you miss if you reject optional cookies
You can reject the optional categories at any time and the core website will keep working normally — you can browse stock, read every page, and contact us as usual. The specific things that change are:
- Analytics off:your visit isn't counted in our internal statistics. There is no change to what you can see or do — this only affects our own reporting.
- Finance calculator off: the online calculator and application form on the Finance page won't load. You can still apply by calling us on 01538 260054.
Managing your choices
When you first visit, we ask for your consent before switching on anything optional. Until you choose, nothing optional runs. You can change your mind whenever you like — your choice is remembered in your browser only.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect how this and other websites work. If you clear your browser storage, we'll ask for your consent again on your next visit.
