Cookie Notice

Most cookie notices are long because the site has a lot to hide. Ours is short. We run no analytics, no advertising pixels, and no cross-site tracking. Everything below is either strictly necessary or a convenience set only because you used the feature that needs it — never for tracking. All of it is listed by name.

Browser storage we set ourselves

mcm-themelocal storage · until you clear it
Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme, so the page does not flash the wrong one before it loads.
mcm-ziplocal storage · until you clear it
Remembers the delivery postal code you last entered, so the landed-cost calculator does not ask you again on every visit. It stays in your browser.
mcm-ask-logsession storage · cleared when you close the tab
Holds your conversation with the “Ask about imports” assistant, so it survives moving between pages. It is session storage, so closing the tab discards it.
mcm-ask-opensession storage · cleared when you close the tab
Remembers whether you had the assistant panel open, so it does not close itself every time you change page.
Sign-in session tokenlocal storage · until sign-out or expiry
Set by our authentication provider so you stay signed in between pages. Only present if you have an account and are signed in.

Cookies set by our payment processor

On pages where you can pay, our payment processor (Stripe) sets its own cookies — typically __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid — to detect and prevent card fraud. These are strictly necessary to take a payment safely, and we cannot switch them off while still accepting payment. They are governed by Stripe's privacy centre.

Other third-party requests

Some pages load resources from other origins — map tiles for shipment tracking, script and style libraries from public CDNs, and vehicle photography from our catalog host. These do not set tracking cookies, but loading any external resource necessarily discloses your IP address to that provider. We keep this list as short as we reasonably can.

Why we do not show a consent banner

Consent is required for cookies that are not strictly necessary. At present we set none, so there is nothing to ask you to consent to, and a banner would be theatre. If we ever add analytics or advertising cookies, we will add a genuine consent banner that blocks those cookies until you accept — not one that sets them and then tells you about it.

Controlling storage

You can clear or block cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. Blocking them will sign you out and reset your theme and postal-code preferences; blocking the payment processor's cookies will prevent you from completing a payment. Because we neither sell nor share personal information, there is nothing for a Global Privacy Control signal to switch off. If we ever introduce anything that would count as selling or sharing, we will honour GPC before we do.
