Cookie policy
Last updated: 9 August 2026
We use very few cookies, no advertising trackers, and nothing at all for analytics until you say yes. Here is the complete list.
Draft for review. This document is a working draft prepared during site build. It should be reviewed by a solicitor and checked against current ICO and FCA guidance before the site goes live.
The short version
This site sets no third-party advertising or tracking cookies. Everything below is first-party — stored by carluvo.com and readable only by carluvo.com. Analytics are switched off entirely until you accept them in the banner.
Strictly necessary
These are required for the site to work and do not need consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
carluvo-consent | Local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we stop asking | Until cleared |
carluvo-admin | Cookie (staff only) | Keeps a signed-in administrator logged in. Never set for ordinary visitors. | 7 days |
Preferences
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
carluvo-theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode | Until cleared |
carluvo-favourites | Local storage | The list of cars you've saved. Stored on your device only — we never receive it unless you open the saved-cars page. | Until cleared |
Analytics — only with your consent
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
carluvo-sid | Session storage | A random, anonymous identifier that lets us count one visit as one visit rather than several. It is not linked to your name, email or IP address. | When you close the tab |
When analytics are enabled we record which pages were viewed, the site that referred you, any UTM campaign tags in the link you followed, and whether you are on mobile, tablet or desktop. We do not store IP addresses and we do not build profiles of individual visitors. See our privacy policy for how long this is kept.
Changing your mind
You can withdraw or grant consent at any time by clearing this site's storage in your browser settings, which makes the consent banner reappear. You can also block or delete cookies entirely through your browser — the site will continue to work, though your theme choice and saved cars will not be remembered.
