This Cookie Policy explains how Autoworks International Parts (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on autoworksparts.com (the “Site”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them more efficient, and to provide reporting information to site owners.
We also use a small amount of similar local storage in your browser to remember whether you have already responded to our cookie notice during your current visit. Where this policy refers to “cookies,” it includes these similar technologies.
Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by a party other than the site owner are called third-party cookies — for example, the cookies set by Google to provide analytics and advertising.
How we use cookies and your consent
When you first visit the Site, a notice asks whether you accept cookies. Until you make a choice, we load only the cookies that are strictly necessary for the Site to function.
- If you select Accept all, we enable analytics and advertising cookies described below.
- If you select Reject all, those cookies are not loaded, and only strictly necessary cookies remain.
- If you Close the notice without choosing, no analytics or advertising cookies are loaded, and you will be asked again on your next visit.
You can change your choice at any time — see Managing your cookies below.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the Site to operate and to honor your privacy choices. They do not require consent and cannot be switched off through our cookie notice.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent | [WEBSITE URL] (first party) | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies, so you are not asked repeatedly. | 1 year |
PHPSESSID | [WEBSITE URL] (first party) | Maintains your session state while you browse. Set only where session functionality is used. | Session (deleted when the browser closes) |
Note: If you log in to the Site, WordPress sets additional functional cookies (such as
wordpress_*andwp-settings-*) to keep you signed in and remember interface preferences. These apply to registered users only and are also strictly necessary.
Analytics (loaded only after you accept)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and how they arrived — so we can improve it. The information is aggregated and used for statistical purposes.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes individual visitors. | Up to 2 years |
_ga_[ID] | Google Analytics | Persists session state for Google Analytics 4. | Up to 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes individual visitors. | Up to 24 hours |
Advertising and remarketing (loaded only after you accept)
These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to show you relevant ads on other websites you visit (remarketing).
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_au | Google Ads | Stores and tracks ad-click information for conversion measurement (the Google conversion linker). | Up to 90 days |
NID, IDE, and similar | Google / DoubleClick (third party, set on google.com and doubleclick.net) | Used by Google to show and measure ads, and to enable remarketing across sites. | Varies (up to ~13–24 months) |
Cookie names and durations set by Google may change over time and are controlled by Google rather than by us.
Third-party cookies
The analytics and advertising cookies above are provided by Google. When enabled, Google may receive information about your visit and may combine it with other data according to its own policies. For more information, see:
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- How Google uses information from sites that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Managing your cookies
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Our cookie notice. You can reject non-essential cookies when the notice appears. To review or change your choice later, clear the
cookie_consentcookie in your browser (see below) and reload the Site — the notice will appear again. - Your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Refer to your browser’s help pages — for example, the settings in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Blocking all cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.
- Google opt-outs. You can opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, and you can manage personalized advertising at https://adssettings.google.com.
To clear our consent cookie manually, open your browser’s developer console on the Site and run:
document.cookie = 'cookie_consent=;max-age=0;path=/';Then reload the page.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information — such as the right to access, correct, or delete it, or to opt out of certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. For more on how we handle personal data generally, please see our Privacy Policy.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
