What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They can help a website operate essential features, keep accounts secure, remember choices, understand usage and provide relevant content or advertising.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. Cookies placed directly by Car Boot Hub are first-party cookies. Cookies placed by another organisation are third-party cookies.
How we use cookies
Car Boot Hub divides cookies into essential, preference, analytics and marketing cookies. Essential cookies are used where necessary to operate and protect the website. Optional cookies will only be used when you have given permission through our cookie controls.
When you first visit Car Boot Hub, you can reject optional cookies, manage individual categories or accept all cookies. You can return to Cookie Settings in the footer at any time.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies support signing in, secure sessions, account and form protection, fraud prevention, remembering cookie choices and core listing, bidding or messaging features. They cannot be disabled through Car Boot Hub cookie controls because they are required for the website to operate.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember helpful choices such as preferred language, selected country or local area, display settings and listing or search preferences. They are optional. If you reject them, the website will still work, but you may need to select preferences again.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use Car Boot Hub, such as which pages are visited, which features are used, whether errors occur and how visitors arrive at the website.
Car Boot Hub does not currently place analytics cookies unless an analytics service has been added and identified in the cookie table below.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising, avoid repeating adverts, understand whether somebody visited after seeing an advertisement or support advertising services supplied by another organisation.
Car Boot Hub does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies unless a marketing service has been added and identified in the cookie table below.

Similar technologies and third-party services
A website may also use local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, software development kits or device identifiers. Where these technologies store or access information on your device, we will apply the same consent choices described in this policy.
If Car Boot Hub adds third-party services such as analytics, maps, videos, social media features, advertising, payment or fraud prevention, those providers may use their own cookies after any required consent.
Changing or withdrawing your choice
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the footer. Withdrawing consent will prevent relevant optional cookies from being used in the future.
You may also delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking every cookie may prevent you from signing in, submitting forms, saving settings or using other important parts of Car Boot Hub.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when cookies are added, removed or changed, a new website feature is introduced, a service provider changes or legal requirements change. If a change materially affects optional cookies, we will update the cookie controls and request a new choice where required.
