Who we are

Autorept is an independent website publishing guides about buying, insuring and running a car. You can contact us through the contact page.

Information we collect

  • Usage information, such as the pages you visit, the time spent on them, the referring page, your browser, device type, language and approximate location derived from your IP address. This is collected through Google Analytics.
  • Information you choose to send us, such as your name, email address and message when you write to us.
  • Cookie and similar technology information set by this site and by Google, described below.

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use them to remember your cookie choice, to measure how the site is used, and to show advertising. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you do, parts of the site may work differently and ads may be less relevant.

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site uses Google AdSense to show advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info, or, in the European Union and United Kingdom, at youronlinechoices.eu. Where the law requires it, consent is requested before personalised advertising cookies are used, and you will then see non-personalised ads if you decline.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which articles are read and how visitors find and move through the site. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing Google's opt-out browser add-on.

How we use information

  • To run, secure and improve the website.
  • To understand which guides are useful and which need updating.
  • To reply to messages and process corrections.
  • To show and measure advertising.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

Where data protection law such as the GDPR applies, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and personalised advertising, on our legitimate interest in running and improving the website, and on legal obligations where they apply.

Sharing and transfers

We do not sell personal information that we collect directly. Information is processed by service providers, including Google for analytics and advertising and our hosting provider, under their own policies. These providers may process data in countries other than your own, using legal safeguards where required. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a data protection authority. Residents of some US states have similar rights, including opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising. To make a request, use the contact page.

Retention

Messages you send us are kept only as long as needed to reply and to keep a record of corrections. Analytics and advertising data are kept according to Google's settings and policies.

Children

This website is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it last changed.
