Under the revised regulations, the requirement is not just to provide clear information about the cookies but also to obtain consent from users or subscribers to store a cookie on their device. It has been designed to protect online privacy by making consumers aware of how personal information about them is collected by websites and enabling them to choose whether or not they want it to happen. Please read on for more information.

They remember basic date to help improve the service you receive from us (for example, remembering vehicles that you have viewed in the last 30 days).
Permanent Cookies
These are stored on your computer and are not deleted when the browser is closed. This is so they can retain your preferences for a particular website, allowing those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions.
Permanent cookies can be used to analyse users' surfing behaviour within the Site, so that we can improve our services and allows us to prioritise our enhancements to the Site.

- Customise elements of the layout and/or content of the pages of the Site for you;
- Collect statistical information about how you use the Site so that we can improve the Site;
- Gather information about the pages on the Site that you visit, and also other information about other websites that you visit, so as to place you in a "market segment"; and
- Enable basic web traffic analysis using Google Analytics.
We also use some cookies from trusted third-party sources to enable us to provide you with certain features on the Site, for example our live chat facility which uses cookies to enable the chat software to work.
When you access the Site, you will receive a message advising you that if you continue to use the Site, you are consenting to cookies being placed on your device in order to maximise your experience on the Site and allow us to make improvements.
