Our website uses cookies to improve performance and enhance your browsing experience. Certain areas of our website also use cookies to understand more about you and to provide you with a more personalized browsing experience. By continuing to use this website, you acknowledge that we may install cookies or other similar technologies on your equipment, including your mobile device.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files containing a small amount of information about your visit that are stored on your device when you visit a website. The term “cookie” can be used to describe a number of technologies, including, but not limited to, pixel tags, web beacons, and mobile device identifiers.
These files allow the website to recognize your device and record your interaction with the website’s pages. They are widely used across the web to improve the user experience, provide information to website owners and provide advanced functionality.
These cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to other websites that recognize that cookie. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device and remember important information such as your preferences, items in your shopping cart and login details.
Why do we use cookies?
Cookies perform many different tasks, such as optimizing your navigation through the pages, remembering your preferences and personalizing your experience while browsing. They also help to ensure that advertisements and other content you access online are relevant to you. In addition, they are used to collect statistical data that is used to implement improvements to our website and ensure the best user experience.
How are Cookies used by Costdrivers?
Costdrivers uses the following types of Cookies:
Essential Cookies – Essential cookies are necessary for the Sites to function and provide services to you, based on our legitimate interest. Without these cookies, the Sites will not perform as well as we would like and we may not be able to provide certain services or features associated with them.
Preference Cookies – Preference cookies collect information about your choices and preferences, allowing our websites to remember your language, region, device or other settings so that your experience is tailored to those preferences. They can also be used to remember specific settings you have made on our website.
Analytical/Statistical Cookies – Analytical cookies collect information about how the website is used, allowing us to improve its operation. Analytical cookies, for example, show us which pages on the website are most popular, how much time is spent on each page, how difficult it is for users to navigate, and other analytical data. This information helps us to continually improve the performance and usability of our website.
Advertising/Marketing Cookies – Advertising cookies are used for marketing purposes, allowing the targeting of advertisements that appear to you based on your interests. The purpose is to make advertising content more relevant to you, improve reporting on campaign performance and avoid displaying repetitive advertisements.
Within these four categories, cookies can be classified as “session” or “persistent” cookies. “Session” cookies are temporary and, once you close the browser window, they are deleted from your device. “Persistent” cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device until their expiration date, or until you delete them, and are used by the website to recognize your device on your subsequent visits.
Do we use third-party cookies?
Some cookies we use are from other companies who provide services on our website, such as analytics tools or social media plugins, such as Google Analytics. These companies use programming codes to collect information about your interaction with our websites, such as the pages you visit, the links you click and how long you remain logged in to our websites.
What other tracking technologies do we use?
We may also use web beacons (including conversion pixels) or other technologies for similar purposes and may include them on our websites, in marketing email messages or in our newsletters and affiliate websites to determine whether messages have been opened and links clicked. Web beacons do not place information on your device, but they may work in conjunction with cookies to track website activity. Conversion pixels are small pieces of code located on a particular web page that change when someone visits the page, resulting in an increased conversion count.
What if I don’t want the cookies?
By using our website, you agree that we may use cookies on your device. When you first visit our website, you will see a “cookie banner” informing you about the use of cookies on our website. You can change your cookie settings in your browser. Please refer to your browser’s help section for information on how to change your cookie settings. Please be aware that disabling cookies may negatively affect the functionality of certain features on our website.
