Cookies Policy

Last updated: August 1, 2025

VIN Analytics, LLC ("VIN Analytics", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies (collectively, "cookies") on vinanalytics.com (the "Service"). This Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have. For more about how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your device by a website or app. We also use similar technologies such as web beacons/pixels, local storage, and SDKs. Cookies may be "session" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" (stored until they expire or are deleted).

How we use cookies

  • Strictly necessary - Required for core site functionality, security, fraud prevention, human verification (e.g., session management, CAPTCHA/Turnstile), and to honor privacy choices.
  • Functional - Remember preferences (e.g., language, cookie choices) and enhance features.
  • Performance/analytics - Help us understand site usage and improve the Service (e.g., pages visited, features used). Where required, we seek your consent.
  • Advertising/remarketing - Show relevant ads and measure performance. Where required, we seek your consent and provide opt-outs.
  • Security & abuse prevention - Detect, prevent, and respond to malicious activity, rate-limit requests, and protect accounts.

Cookies we set (first-party)

Depending on your use, we may set cookies for:

  • Authentication & session (e.g., keeping you logged in, session integrity)
  • Preferences (e.g., language, cookie settings)
  • Security (e.g., bot-mitigation and human-verification tokens)
  • Feature flags and performance

Cookie names and lifetimes may change as we improve the Service.

Third-party cookies & technologies

We use service providers that may set cookies or receive data when you visit the Service. These may include:

  • Payment processing (e.g., Stripe, PayPal)
  • Security/CDN and bot mitigation (e.g., Cloudflare, including Turnstile)
  • Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Advertising/remarketing (e.g., Google Ads, Meta)
  • Email/communications and support tooling

Choices & consent

We provide a cookie banner. Your consent is stored per browser/device and may reset if you clear cookies.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can control cookies at the browser level (e.g., block, delete, or receive alerts). If you block cookies, some features may not work properly. For instructions, see your browser's help pages.

Retention

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last until their set expiration or until you delete them. Analytics/advertising cookies commonly persist for 13 months or less, depending on vendor settings and your choices.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. We will post updates with a new effective date and, if changes are material, provide additional notice (e.g., banner or in-product notice).
