Cookie Policy
Exactly what Vehicletronix stores in your browser, and why.
Last updated: 17 August 2026
2. Strictly necessary
These cookies are set automatically and cannot be switched off, as the site would not work correctly without them.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE | Cookie | Remembers your chosen language so you don't need to reselect it on every visit. | 1 year |
| vtx_locale_banner_dismissed | Cookie | Remembers that you dismissed the language-suggestion banner, so it doesn't reappear. | 1 year |
3. Functional browser storage
These are not cookies, but browser local storage used the same way, purely to remember your preferences on this device. None of this data leaves your browser, except your cart contents, which are only sent to us when you choose to check out.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| vtx_cart | Local storage | Stores the items in your cart between visits. | Until you clear it |
| vtx_currency_rates | Local storage | Caches exchange rates so currency estimates load instantly instead of re-fetching every visit. | Until you clear it |
| files-view-mode | Local storage | Remembers whether you prefer grid or list view on the /files catalogue. | Until you clear it |
4. Analytics
We use two analytics tools to understand how the site is used, in aggregate. Neither is used to identify you personally or for advertising.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Cookie (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes visitors and sessions for aggregate traffic and usage statistics. | Up to 2 years |
| None | Vercel Analytics | Vercel Analytics is cookieless by design and does not use cookies or local storage. | N/A |
5. Payment
Checkout takes place on Stripe's own secure domain, not on vehicletronix.co.uk. Any cookies Stripe sets for fraud prevention during payment are set on Stripe's domain and governed by Stripe's own privacy policy, not this one.
6. What we don't use
We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies, third-party marketing trackers, or cross-site tracking of any kind.
7. How to control cookies
You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. If you want to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, Google provides an official browser add-on that does this across every site you visit. Note that blocking the strictly necessary cookies above may affect how parts of the site work, such as remembering your language.
8. Changes to this policy
If what we use changes, for example if we add a new analytics tool, we will update this page and its “Last updated” date.
