Cookie Policy
Last Updated: May 7, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how RepairsOnWheel ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on repairsonwheel.com (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly.
1. What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. Cookies let a site remember information about your visit — for example, your preferences — so the next page or your next visit can be more useful.
Cookies cannot run programs, deliver viruses, or read other files on your device.
We also use related technologies that work in a similar way, including:
- Web beacons / pixels — tiny images embedded in a page that signal when content has loaded
- Local storage — a browser feature that lets a site save small amounts of data, such as your cookie-consent choice
- Software development kits (SDKs) — code provided by analytics or advertising partners that runs in your browser
For simplicity, we refer to all of these as "cookies" throughout this Policy.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Make the Site work and remember your preferences (such as your cookie-consent choice)
- Understand which articles are popular so we can improve our content
- Measure how well the Site performs technically (load times, errors)
- Where you consent, allow our advertising partners to measure and personalize advertising
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They do things like remember your cookie-consent choice so the banner does not reappear on every page.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through the cookie banner.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the Site — for example, which pages are read most, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. Information collected is generally aggregated and used to improve our content.
Where required by law, analytics cookies are only set after you click "Accept All" on the cookie banner.
3.3 Advertising Cookies
These cookies are set by us or by third-party advertising partners to measure ad performance and, where you have consented, to show ads that may be more relevant to you based on your activity across websites (interest-based advertising). Where required by law, advertising cookies are only set after you click "Accept All" on the cookie banner.
4. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can be set directly by RepairsOnWheel ("first-party cookies") or by services we use, such as analytics or advertising providers ("third-party cookies"). Third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control.
5. How Long Cookies Last
- Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them. Lifespans vary, typically from a few days to up to about two years.
6. Your Choices
You can control cookies in several ways:
- The cookie banner. The first time you visit the Site, a banner asks for your consent. Click "Accept All" to allow analytics and advertising cookies, or "Decline" to allow only strictly necessary cookies.
- Change your choice. You can change your mind any time by clearing this Site's cookies in your browser, which will cause the banner to appear again on your next visit.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies under their privacy or security settings.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where required by law, we honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as GPC.
Please note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Site function — for example, the cookie banner may reappear on every visit.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is no industry-wide agreement on how DNT signals should be honored, so we do not currently respond to them.
We do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as described above and in our Privacy Policy.
8. Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to build profiles of, or deliver interest-based advertising to, anyone we know to be under 16.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, the cookies we use, or applicable laws. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the latest version.
Please review the page periodically.
