Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

Vyocar is an automotive website that publishes car reviews, comparisons, news, and buying guides. Like most websites, it may use cookies and similar technologies to work properly, stay secure, and understand how it is used. This policy describes those technologies in general terms. It does not list every cookie, because the cookies that appear can change with the tools and services in use at any given time.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is handled.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your browser or device. They let the website recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, and local storage, which work in comparable ways. In this policy, “cookies” includes these technologies.

Session cookies

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted when you close it.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies stay on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or you delete them.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by the Website itself. Third-party cookies are set by another company whose service runs on the Website, such as an analytics or advertising provider.

3. How Cookies May Be Used

Depending on the features and services active on the Website, cookies may be used to:

• Make pages load and display correctly
• Keep the Website secure and help detect abuse or technical problems
• Remember choices, such as your cookie preferences
• Measure traffic and understand which content visitors find useful
• Deliver and measure advertising, if advertising is shown
• Support features provided by third parties, such as embedded content

Not every purpose above applies at all times.

4. Types of Cookies

• Essential cookies are needed for the Website to work and stay secure. They usually cannot be switched off through the Website, though you can block them in your browser, which may stop parts of the Website from working.
• Functional cookies remember settings and choices so the Website works the way you expect.
• Analytics cookies help measure visits and page performance, so we can improve the Website. They are used only if analytics tools are active.
• Advertising cookies help deliver, limit, and measure ads. They are used only if advertising is displayed.
• Third-party cookies are set by outside providers whose services are part of the Website.

The Website does not necessarily use every category listed here.

5. Advertising Cookies

If the Website displays advertising, the companies that provide those services may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, avoid repeating the same ad too often, and measure how ads perform. Some advertising can be personalized, using information such as pages you have visited. Other advertising is non-personalized and relies on less information, such as the content of the page you are viewing.

These providers set their own cookies and follow their own privacy policies. Vyocar does not control the cookies they set. Where advertising partners are active, the opt-out choices and further details are described in our Privacy Policy. Blocking or declining advertising cookies does not stop ads from appearing; the ads you see may simply be less relevant to you.

6. Analytics

If we use analytics tools, they may set cookies that record information such as pages viewed, time spent, device and browser type, and general location. This helps us understand how people use the Website and improve its content and performance. Analytics information is generally used in aggregated form.

7. Third-Party Services

Where third-party services are integrated into the Website, such as embedded media, security tools, or advertising and analytics providers, they may set or read their own cookies when you visit. We do not control those cookies. Each provider’s privacy policy explains how it uses the information it collects, and we encourage you to review it.

8. Cookie Consent and Preferences

Some laws require us to ask for your consent before non-essential cookies are used, and this can differ depending on where you are. Where a consent banner or preference tool is shown on the Website, you can use it to accept, reject, or change your choices, and to withdraw consent at any time. Your choices may be saved in a cookie, so clearing your cookies may bring the banner back.

This Cookie Policy provides information about cookies. It does not replace a consent mechanism where one is legally required.

9. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. The steps differ between browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, and between desktop and mobile devices, so check your browser’s help section. Some browsers also let you block third-party cookies only, or clear cookies when you close the browser.

If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the Website may not work as expected, and your saved preferences may be lost. Browser settings may not cover every consent or opt-out choice described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Cookie Duration

Session cookies last only until you close your browser. Persistent cookies last until they reach their expiry date or you delete them. How long a persistent cookie lasts is set by whoever places it, and it can vary from cookie to cookie and from provider to provider.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this policy when the Website’s features, service providers, or legal requirements change. The current version will always be on this page, with the “Last Updated” date shown at the top. We encourage you to check it from time to time.
