Default state
Analytics and advertising storage both default to denied. Analytics only does not authorize advertising. We do not request personalized ads. Where Google requires a certified regional consent message, that message must also be configured; this banner is not a replacement. Essential public features work without either optional purpose.
Change your choice
Select at any time to change analytics and advertising choices. If Google’s advertising privacy message is available for your region, use its privacy-options control to change advertising choices. You can also delete site data or block cookies in browser settings. Blocking the admin session cookie prevents administrator sign-in but does not prevent public searches.
Advertising and withdrawal
Advertising scripts wait for the separate advertising choice. We request non-personalized ads, keep ad personalization and ad-user-data consent denied, and honor a browser Global Privacy Control signal by withholding advertising consent. A Google-certified regional message may collect additional choices; our local banner does not replace it. Withdrawing a purpose reloads the page to stop already-loaded optional scripts and removes accessible first-party Google measurement cookies. We cannot delete third-party cookies or reverse data already sent; use your browser controls for those.
Your current vehicle
The parts finder uses browser-session storage (alicar_picker) to retain the vehicle and part you selected while navigating. It does not store your VIN, name or address. It is cleared when the browser tab session ends or you clear site data.
