  • Internal Tracking: To understand the response that we are getting to our used car advertisers on the site, we use a cookie to store some information about the search you have performed.
  • Vehicle Search: we need to store some information in cookies related to the searches you have been performing. For example, whenever you perform any searches, we need to store the identifiers for those vehicles and adverts. We store the postcode you have entered for searches to enable us to show you the distance you are from the vehicles in the adverts, and the makes and models of vehicles you are currently searching. We also record related information about the postcode you supply, including the longitude and latitude of the postcode. Some of this information may also be used to bring you more relevant display adverts across our site.
