Cookie policy

This page explains the cookies and similar tracking technologies that beyondautos.com uses, what they do, and how you can control them. For the broader data-protection picture, see our Privacy policy.

What cookies are: cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They let a site remember who you are between pages and visits (for example, to keep you logged into the admin area) and they let us measure how the site is performing.

Categories we use:

Strictly necessary — required for the site to function. These include the session cookie for the Payload admin area and CSRF tokens on inquiry forms. These cannot be disabled through a cookie banner because the site would stop working without them.

Analytics — used to count visits, see which pages are popular, and diagnose slow pages. We currently use Google Analytics 4 (cookies prefixed “_ga” and “_gid”). IP addresses are truncated before they are stored.

Marketing and pixels — used by our advertising platforms to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. We currently use Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel. These cookies are set only if you have consented via the cookie banner.

Third-party content — pages that embed external content (for example, YouTube videos on blog posts or manufacturer brand videos) may result in cookies being set by the third party. Those cookies are governed by the third party’s own cookie and privacy policies.

How to opt out or clear cookies: you can decline non-essential cookies via the cookie banner shown on your first visit. You can also clear or block cookies using your browser settings — common shortcuts are Ctrl+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+Delete (Mac). Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site (most visibly the admin area) from working.

Retention: analytics cookies expire after up to 26 months; marketing-pixel cookies typically after 90 days; strictly necessary session cookies expire when you close your browser.

Updates: we review the cookies in use when we change analytics or advertising providers. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the current inventory.
