A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit. We use as few as possible: the site sets no advertising cookies, and Google analytics only runs if you accept it. Two services from our host Cloudflare do run at all times, without storing any identifier on your device; both are described below.
Strictly necessary
Set without consent because the site cannot work without them. They are not used for tracking.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| visarcar-theme | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. | Persistent (local storage) | Local storage |
| visarcar-consent | Remembers your answer to the cookie banner so it is not shown again. | Persistent (local storage) | Local storage |
| visarcar_session | Keeps staff signed in to the back-office. Never set on the public site. | 7 days | Cookie |
Services from our host
The site is served by Cloudflare, which runs two services without storing any identifier on your device. They operate at all times, including if you decline analytics: the first because it keeps nothing on your device, the second because it protects our forms from automated submissions. Your IP address is processed by Cloudflare for those purposes only.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Web Analytics | Traffic statistics with no cookie and no identifier: page viewed, country, device type. No profile is built and nothing is linked across visits. | Nothing stored on your device | Third-party script |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Checks that the contact, quote and newsletter forms are filled in by a person rather than a bot. Loaded only on pages that carry a form. | For the duration of the check | Third-party script |
| __cf_bm | A security cookie Cloudflare may set to tell bots from genuine visitors. Strictly necessary: it is never used for advertising or tracking. | 30 minutes | Third-party cookie |
Analytics
These cookies are set only if you choose "Accept". The Google tag itself loads on every visit: until you accept, it sets no cookie and sends only an anonymous, identifier-free measurement that cannot link two visits together. Accepting lets it set the cookies below and recognise your browser from one visit to the next.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 - anonymised traffic statistics (IP truncated). | 13 months maximum | Third-party cookie |
What we do not do
