Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2023

This Cookie Policy explains how AutoCare Specialists ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at appodfelic.media ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, AutoCare Specialists) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below:

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions.

Examples:

  • Session Cookies: These help us recognize you as you navigate through our site. When you close your browser, they are automatically removed.
  • Security Cookies: Used to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Examples:

  • Google Analytics: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website. We use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the Website.

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Examples:

  • Preferences Cookies: These remember your settings and choices to enhance your experience (e.g., language preference, region).

3.4 Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

Examples:

  • Social Media Cookies: These enable you to share pages and content through third-party social networking sites.
  • Advertising Cookies: Used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests.

4. How Can You Control Cookies?

4.1 Cookie Preferences

You can set or amend your cookie preferences at any time by using our cookie consent management tool on the Website. This tool allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

4.2 Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through the browser settings. Here's how to do it in the most common browsers:

  • Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
  • Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer
  • Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-and-website-data-sfri11471/mac
  • Internet Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies
  • Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4468242/microsoft-edge-browsing-data-and-privacy

Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features or functionality of our Website may be impaired.

4.3 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our Website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals.

5. What About Other Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

6. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
