Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device. Websites can also use similar technologies, such as browser local storage, for comparable purposes. This policy covers both.

What this site uses today

This website (autarota.co.uk) uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. The GA4 cookies below are only set if you accept them through the cookie banner; if you decline, GA4 is not loaded and those cookies are never set. Regardless of your choice, we store a record of that choice in your browser's local storage so we don't ask you again on every visit - this is strictly necessary to remember your preference and does not require consent.

• _ga (cookie) - Google Analytics 4, distinguishes visitors. Lasts around 2 years, which is Google's default.
• _ga_<container-id> (cookie) - Google Analytics 4, persists session state for this property. Also lasts around 2 years by default.
• Consent choice (local storage, not a cookie) - remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies. Lasts until you clear your browser storage, change your choice, or we update the consent version.

This is different from the AutaRota application itself (app.autarota.co.uk), which uses essential cookies and local storage for authentication and session management once you sign in, as described in the in-app Privacy Policy.

Links to other sites

This website links to app.autarota.co.uk and to third-party services such as LinkedIn and X. Once you follow one of those links and leave autarota.co.uk, that site's own cookie policy applies, not this one.

Managing cookies in your browser

The easiest way to change your analytics consent choice on this site is the "Cookie preferences" button in the footer, which lets you accept or reject GA4 cookies at any time. You can also manage cookies at the browser level: most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings, though blocking cookies this way will not update the consent choice we remember for this site.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we change what analytics or other cookies we use. We will post the latest version here and update the "Last updated" date. See also our Privacy Policy.
