What are cookies

Cookies and tags are text files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They can improve your experience of using a website, for example, by remembering your preference settings and tracking your use of a website so that it can be improved to meet your needs.

Websites must get consent to send cookies and tags to your computer or mobile device unless the cookies or tags are strictly necessary to provide services to you.

Unless the cookie is a strictly necessary cookie, you can withdraw your consent to our cookies at any time even if you have previously consented. The table below explains what cookies and tags we use on our website, why we use them and whether they are strictly necessary or another type of cookie/tag e.g. “functionality” or “performance” cookies/tags. We also state in the table whether a cookie/tag is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. The difference is that:

• Persistent cookies/tags remain on your device between browsing sessions. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie/tag. For example, where a “persistent cookie/tag” is to remember items that you have left in a basket if you haven’t completed an order, making it easier you to finish an order when you return to the website.

• Session cookies/tags allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies/tags are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies/tags are deleted.

Some of the cookies/tags listed below are those set by our own website when you visit https:automaticdrive.co.uk . However, we also have cookies/tags which we place on websites which are not Automatic Drive’s websites, here we place third party cookies.

For example, cookies/tags to operate the online shopping basket or to comply with the law (e.g. such as to keep your information safe).
