What is a cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie.

Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience.

Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our Services before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

There are two broad categories of cookies:

• First-party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device.
• Third-party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf.

We use third-party cookies for functionality, performance/analytics, advertising and social media purposes.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are session cookies, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are permanent cookies, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed and can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you open your browser again.

Type of cookie: Advertising and Tracking Cookies

What it does:
As you use our website, you will notice that it features advertising. We allow third-party advertising companies to place cookies on our website. These cookies enable such companies to track your activity across various sites and record your activities so they can show ads that they consider relevant to you.

These cookies are anonymous — they store information about the content you are browsing, but not about who you are.

Cookies also allow us and third parties to know whether you’ve seen an ad or how long it has been since you last saw it. This is used for frequency capping, tailoring ads, and measuring their effectiveness.

How to block:
All the ad companies or networks that we work with have their own privacy policies and offer a mechanism for users to opt out of tracking and behavioral targeting, available through the ad itself or through the mechanisms listed in “How to control or delete cookies” below.

---

Type of cookie: Social Media Cookies

What it does:
On some pages of our website, third parties that provide applications through our website may set their own anonymous cookies in order to track the success of their applications or customize applications for you.

For example, when you share an article using a social media sharing button (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google Plus), the social network that has created the button will record that you have done this.

Because of how cookies work, we cannot access these cookies, nor can third parties access data in cookies used by GAD-Motors.

Some pages of our website may also contain embedded content, such as video content from YouTube, and these sites may set their own cookies.

How to block:
Please see the instructions set out in “How to control or delete cookies” below.
