This page explains what cookies are, how they may be used on the Race Car Graphics website and the choices available to visitors.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser when a website is visited. They can support essential site functions, remember choices and help website owners understand how pages are used.
How cookies are used
When you first visit, a cookie banner asks which non-essential cookies you allow. Analytics and marketing cookies are not set until you accept them.
Essential cookies and browser storage keep the site working: your basket, checkout, account sign-in, booking forms, security and your cookie choice. These are always on.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and our own visit recorder) count visits and show which pages are useful. Our visit recorder also records how pages are used (scrolling, clicks and page changes, with anything you type hidden) so we can fix parts of the site that are hard to use. They are only set if you allow analytics.
Marketing cookies measure and improve our adverts on Google and social media. They are only set if you allow marketing.

Card payments are taken on Stripe’s secure checkout page, where Stripe applies its own cookie policy.
Third-party content
Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager help us understand website use and support Search Console verification. Boxly provides the website chat service and may store conversation or session information. Selecting the WhatsApp button opens WhatsApp, where Meta applies its own privacy and cookie policies.
Embedded maps, videos, payment information or other external services may also set their own cookies when those features are loaded or used. Those providers apply their own privacy and cookie policies.
Managing cookies
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time. Changes apply straight away, and turning analytics off removes the Google Analytics cookies from this site.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop the basket, checkout, sign-in or forms from working.
