1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can be:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser.

  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to ensure our website functions correctly, to analyse how the site is used, and to support our marketing efforts. We categorise our cookies as follows:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

  • Platform Functionality: As our site is built on Squarespace, we use these cookies to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and ensure site security.

  • E-Commerce: To remember items in your shopping cart and process your orders securely in the Store.

  • User Sessions: To keep you logged into the "Admin Portal" or member areas as you navigate between pages.

  • Preferences: Remembering your display settings or whether you have already dismissed a pop-up banner.

D. Targeting & Affiliate Cookies

We use these cookies to track the performance of our marketing and affiliate partnerships.

  • Affiliate Links: If you click on a partner link (e.g., for vehicle parts or accessories) on our site, a cookie may be placed to track the referral so we can earn a small commission or "finder's fee" (as mentioned in our Market Studies/Funding details).

  • Social Media: Our site may include buttons for Facebook, Instagram, or other social platforms. These third parties may set their own cookies to track your activity.
