Cookies on Comma Oil

This site, like many others, uses small files called “cookies” to help customise your experience. Find out more about cookies and how you can control them.

This page contains information on what 'cookies' are, the cookies used by Comma Oil, how to switch cookies off in your browser, and some useful links for further information.

 

What are 'cookies'?

'Cookies' are small text files that are stored by the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. Your devices are able to read and write these files, allowing them to store things such as personalisation details or user preferences. Each web domain can only access cookies stored by that specific web domain, meaning that only Comma Oil servers can access the cookies. Most web pages contain elements from multiple web domains. Therefore when you visit Comma Oil, your browser may receive cookies from several sources.

 

How does Comma Oil use cookies?

A visit to a page on Comma Oil may generate the following types of cookie:

- anonymous analytics cookies,
- registration cookies,
- cookies to help with generating an application recommendation

 

Anonymous analytics cookies

Every time a user visits our website, web analytics software provided by a third party generates an anonymous analytics cookie. These cookies can tell us whether or not you've visited the site before. Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies, and if you don't, we generate new ones. This allows us to track how many individual unique users we have, and how often they visit the site. These cookies cannot be used to identify individuals; they are used for statistical purposes only. This allows us, for example, to tell which pages are the most visited at any one time.

 

How do I turn cookies off?

It is possible to stop your browser accepting cookies, or to stop it accepting cookies from a particular website. However, you may find that some aspects of Comma Oil will stop working or work less well if you do this. (For example, we cannot provide you with an application recommendation, so you would not be able to see what products would be suitable for use on your vehicle.)

To delete cookies that we previously placed, follow the instructions in the section “Opting-out.”

 

Opting-out

Most web browsers allow you to delete cookies, and you can typically block cookies by enabling a setting on your browser that rejects the creation of all or certain cookies.
