What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of browser software that allows web servers to
recognise the computer used to access a website. Cookies are small pieces of
data that are stored by a user's web browser. Cookies can remember what
information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions
with that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline the
user's transactions on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to
move from page to page and to complete transactions over the internet. Cookies
should make your online experience easier and more personalised.
Google Analytics
When someone visits ukautomotiveltd.com we use a third-party service called Google Analytics, to collect
standard internet log information and details of visitor behavior patterns. We
do this to report on things such as the number of visitors to the various parts
of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not
identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt
to find out the identities of those visiting our website. Data is recorded
purely for reporting purposes and to ensure that visitors to our website can
find the correct products and pages they are searching for.
The retention period applies to user-level and event-level data
associated with cookies, user-identifiers (e.g., User-ID) and advertising
identifiers (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android’s Advertising ID, Apple’s
Identifier for Advertisers).
When data reaches the end of the retention period, it is deleted
automatically on a monthly basis.

needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The

personally identifying information about you although they do permit us to send
focused online banner advertisements or other such responses to you.
