Cookies Policy

At Grand Auto View (“Grand Auto View,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, provide essential functionality, remember certain preferences, maintain security, and understand how our services are used.

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how Grand Auto View may use them, and the choices available to you.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They allow websites to recognize your browser, maintain sessions, remember preferences, and provide certain functionality.

Cookies may be set directly by Grand Auto View (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services used on our website (“third-party cookies”).

Cookies can also be categorized based on how long they remain on your device:

• Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

2. How We Use Cookies

Grand Auto View may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep users securely signed in
• Maintain authenticated sessions
• Support account functionality
• Protect forms and requests from unauthorized activity
• Remember certain preferences
• Support saved vehicle and wishlist functionality
• Maintain website security
• Detect errors and technical problems
• Understand how the website performs
• Provide third-party functionality where applicable

Some cookies are necessary for Grand Auto View to function correctly and cannot reasonably be disabled through our website without affecting core functionality.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functionality required for the website to operate.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• User authentication
• Maintaining login sessions
• Account security
• Processing secure requests
• Protecting forms
• Preventing unauthorized requests
• Maintaining essential website functionality

Because these cookies are necessary to provide services requested by users, they may be set without optional cookie consent where permitted by applicable law.

Disabling these cookies through your browser may prevent certain parts of Grand Auto View from functioning correctly.

4. Authentication and Account Cookies

When you sign in to Grand Auto View, cookies may be used to recognize your authenticated session.

These cookies allow the website to determine that you are signed in while navigating between pages and using account-related functionality.

If you select an option to remain signed in, an authentication cookie may remain on your device for a longer period.

Signing out of your account generally removes or invalidates the applicable authentication session.

5. Security Cookies

Grand Auto View may use cookies or similar technologies to help protect the website and its users.

These technologies may support:

• Request verification
• Form security
• Session integrity
• Fraud and abuse prevention
• Detection of suspicious activity

For example, security mechanisms may be used when you register, sign in, update your account, manage saved vehicles, or place a bid.

6. Preferences and Saved Vehicles

Grand Auto View may store certain preferences or information on your device to improve your experience.

For example, visitors who are not signed in may be able to save vehicles to a wishlist using browser storage.

When you later create an account or sign in, locally stored wishlist information may be combined with saved vehicles associated with your Grand Auto View account.

Browser storage such as localStorage is technically different from a cookie, but we describe it in this policy because it serves a similar purpose of storing information on your device.

7. Analytics and Performance

Grand Auto View may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website.

These technologies may help us understand information such as:

• Pages visited
• General navigation patterns
• Website performance
• Technical errors
• Browser and device characteristics
• General usage trends

We may use this information to maintain and improve Grand Auto View.

If optional analytics services are introduced, their use may be subject to additional consent requirements depending on applicable law.

8. Third-Party Cookies

Some functionality available through Grand Auto View may be provided by third parties.

When third-party content is loaded, those providers may set or access their own cookies or similar technologies.

Third-party services may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies. Grand Auto View does not directly control cookies set by independent third parties.

9. Google Maps

Grand Auto View may display embedded Google Maps content to show our business location or other geographic information.

When an embedded Google Map is loaded, Google may use cookies or similar technologies and may receive information such as your IP address, browser information, device information, and interactions with the map.

Google’s use of information is governed by its own terms and privacy practices.

10. Email Communications

Emails sent by Grand Auto View may contain links to our website.

When you follow a link from an email and visit Grand Auto View, normal website cookies and similar technologies may be used according to this Cookies Policy.

If email analytics or tracking technologies are introduced in the future, this policy may be updated to provide additional information about their use.

11. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• View stored cookies
• Delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies
• Block third-party cookies
• Restrict cookies for specific websites
• Configure when cookies are accepted

Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect your ability to sign in, maintain an account session, place bids, or use other Grand Auto View functionality.

12. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, Grand Auto View may use browser-based storage technologies such as localStorage.

For example, Grand Auto View may use local storage to maintain a guest user’s saved vehicle list before the user creates an account or signs in.

Unlike traditional cookies, local storage data is generally not automatically transmitted to the server with every web request.

You can typically remove locally stored website data through your browser’s privacy or site-data settings.

13. Your Choices

Where required by applicable law, Grand Auto View may provide controls that allow you to accept, reject, or manage optional cookies.

Strictly necessary technologies required to operate the website may not be subject to the same controls.

You can also use your browser settings to manage cookies and other stored website data.

The availability and effect of these controls may vary depending on your browser and device.

14. Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

• The technologies used by Grand Auto View
• Website functionality
• Third-party services
• Our privacy practices
• Applicable legal requirements

When this policy is updated, the “Last updated” date displayed on this page will be revised.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
