Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 October 2026 · Version 1.0
This policy describes the browser storage used by AUTOLINK for sign-in, language, privacy choices and optional visit statistics. The site uses a necessary HttpOnly sign-in Cookie together with browser local storage for preferences.
1. Necessary storage
Sign-in session, language and privacy-choice records are necessary for the site to work. They cannot be turned off in the preference panel, although a user can clear them in browser settings; doing so may sign the user out or reset preferences.
2. Optional analytics
If a user chooses visit statistics, AUTOLINK may create a short-lived anonymous visit identifier for its own first-party statistics. This identifier is removed when consent is withdrawn. The current site does not enable Google Analytics or Meta Pixel.
3. Marketing storage
AUTOLINK does not currently run marketing cookies or pixels. Marketing preferences are stored only as a choice for any future implementation; a marketing tool would require a policy update and any legally required consent before activation.
4. Managing preferences
Use the Cookie Settings control on the site to accept all, reject optional categories or save a custom choice. Browser settings can also clear Cookies and local storage. Withdrawal does not change processing that lawfully occurred before it.
5. Storage inventory
The autolink_session Cookie authenticates sign-in. In production it is HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite=Lax; normal server sessions expire after 30 minutes, while Keep me signed in sessions last up to 7 days. autolink-language (and legacy autolink_language) stores language choice; autolink-privacy-v1 stores consent choices for up to 180 days; autolink-anonymous-visit-v1 is used only for consented visit statistics for up to 24 hours. Browser storage also holds comparison selections and a non-secret autolink-cookie-session sign-in marker. The older autolink-business-session token is read only for login compatibility; it is not the current Cookie login mechanism.
