Introduction
When we provide surveys, quizzes, and reviews, we want to make them easy to use, useful and reliable. This sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example your mobile phone, tablet or laptop. These include small files known as cookies and whilst they cannot identify you by name, and depending on your browsing habits and cookie settings, may be used to create a digital picture of you to enhance and tailor advertising to you.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We use these type of cookies to recognise your device so that you don’t have to give the same information several times in one visit to our website.
We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting and may share information to enable more targeted advertising to increase people’s awareness of automotive products and brands.
Third party cookies may also share information about you with other organisations to enable a digital profile of you to be constructed and made available to other advertisers.
You can manage your cookie preferences in our cookie management tool here
More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
