• Google Analytics: Google Privacy Policy
• Google reCAPTCHA: Google Privacy Policy
• Firebase (Google Cloud): Firebase Privacy & Security

When advertising features are enabled, additional third-party advertising networks may set cookies. We will disclose these partners in our Privacy Policy.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

4.1 Through Our Consent Banner

When you first visit MyFavi Autos, you'll see a consent banner where you can:

• Accept All: Enable all cookies including analytics, marketing, and functional
• Deny All: Disable all optional cookies (only necessary cookies will remain active)
• Customize: Select which categories of cookies you want to enable

You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Privacy Center" link in our website footer or by using the privacy preference button.

4.2 Through Your Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences through their settings. You can typically:

• View and delete existing cookies
• Block third-party cookies
• Block all cookies from specific sites
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

Please note: Disabling necessary cookies may prevent certain features of our website from functioning properly.

4.3 Global Privacy Control (GPC)

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by your browser. If you enable GPC, we will automatically:

• Disable analytics, marketing, and functional cookies
• Opt you out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information under applicable privacy laws
• Apply these preferences without requiring you to interact with our consent banner

Learn more about GPC at globalprivacycontrol.org

5. Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which adjusts how Google Analytics and Google Ads behave based on your consent choices:

• ad_storage: Controls advertising cookies - enabled only if you consent to Marketing cookies
• analytics_storage: Controls analytics cookies - enabled only if you consent to Analytics cookies
• ad_user_data: Controls whether user data is sent to Google for advertising purposes
• ad_personalization: Controls whether data can be used for personalized advertising

This ensures that Google services respect your privacy choices while still allowing basic measurement when cookies are disabled (using cookieless pings).

6. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. However, there is currently no industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) as a more modern and legally recognized privacy signal. If you enable GPC, we will respect your preference regardless of your DNT setting.

7. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies":

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
• Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (ranging from hours to years) or until you manually delete them

The duration of each cookie depends on its purpose. Most of our cookies expire within 24 months, but some (like session cookies) expire much sooner.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, by displaying a prominent notice on our website.
