Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 September 2026
The short version
Until you accept the banner, this site sets no analytics cookies and sends no analytics requests to Google. If you decline, it stays that way — nothing is loaded from Google, not even an anonymous request. The site also uses local storage to remember choices you make: your analytics preference, selected vehicle and parts saved to favorites. The vehicle and favorites records stay in this browser and are not used for analytics, advertising or profiling.
Two things do happen regardless of your answer, and neither uses cookies: the icon font stylesheet is loaded from Cloudflare on every page, and product images on offer listings are loaded from Amazon's and AliExpress's image servers. Loading a file from another company means that company sees your IP address. Both are listed in our Privacy Policy.
What a cookie is, and what else counts
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. The same rules apply to similar technologies — local storage, session storage and tracking pixels — so this page covers all of them.
What we use
Functional browser storage
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
pp_consent_v1 |
Local storage (not a cookie) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so the banner is not shown again. Holds your decision and nothing else — no identifier and no profile. | Until you clear it |
pp_vehicle |
Local storage (not a cookie) | Remembers the type, year, make and model of the vehicle you selected, so the header and catalog can preserve that context. Contains no user identifier. | Until you change the vehicle or clear site data |
pp_favorites_v1 |
Local storage (not a cookie) | Stores the manufacturer, part number, title, page address and time added for parts you explicitly save to favorites. Contains no user identifier. | Until you remove the part or clear site data |
pp_consent_v1 exists only to record the choice you made in the banner;
without it we would have to ask you on every page. The vehicle and favorites records are
written only when you request those features and are used solely to remember your choices.
We treat them as necessary to provide the features you explicitly requested. They remain
available if you decline analytics and are not used for any secondary purpose.
Local storage records are not automatically attached to requests sent to our servers. When you open a selected vehicle or saved part, the address of that page is handled like any other page request and may appear in the logs described in our Privacy Policy.
Only after you accept — analytics
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count visitors rather than page loads. | 2 years |
_ga_<container> |
Google Analytics 4 | Keeps the state of your current visit — for example, whether it is a continuation of an earlier one. | 2 years |
These cookies are set by Google Analytics and are not created until you accept. What Google receives, on what legal basis and for how long it is kept is described in our Privacy Policy.
What we do not use
- No advertising cookies — this site carries no advertising.
- No social network widgets and no tracking pixels.
- No fingerprinting and no cross-site tracking.
Withdrawing or changing consent
You can change your mind at any time, and withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. The button below clears your stored choice and asks you again:
Withdrawing stops further Google Analytics collection on this site. The button clears only your analytics consent choice; it does not remove your selected vehicle or favorites. Use Change vehicle to remove the saved vehicle and the filled heart button to remove a saved part. Clearing site data for this domain removes all three local-storage records as well as cookies already set by Google Analytics.
Links to other sites
When you follow a link to Amazon or AliExpress, you leave this site. Those sites set their own cookies under their own policies, and we have no control over them. See our Affiliate Disclosure for what those links are.
