This Cookie Policy explains how Used Outboard Motors uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website.

Cookies can help our website function correctly, remember your preferences, improve your shopping experience and, where you consent, help us understand how visitors use our website.

Under UK rules, websites generally need to explain their use of cookies and obtain consent for cookies that are not exempt as strictly necessary. (ICO)

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other internet-connected device.

They allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies can be used for purposes such as:

• Keeping products in your shopping basket;

• Maintaining your login session;

• Remembering preferences;

• Improving website functionality;

• Measuring website traffic;

• Understanding how visitors use the website;

• Supporting security;

• Providing relevant advertising where applicable.

UK cookie rules can also apply to technologies other than traditional cookies, including tracking pixels, scripts, tags, web storage and similar technologies. (ICO)

3. How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies for the following categories.

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions.

They may help us:

• Keep the website operating;

• Maintain your shopping basket;

• Process checkout functionality;

• Maintain security;

• Remember essential preferences;

• Support customer account functionality;

• Prevent fraudulent activity.

Because these technologies may be necessary to provide a service you have requested, certain strictly necessary cookies may be exempt from the consent requirement.

We will not use the “strictly necessary” category as a way of avoiding consent for cookies that are actually optional. (ICO)

B. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may allow the website to remember choices you make.

For example, they may remember:

• Language or region preferences;

• Certain website settings;

• Previously selected preferences;

• Other functionality choices.

These cookies help provide a more personalised experience.

C. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.

They may provide information such as:

• Number of website visitors;

• Pages viewed;

• Time spent on pages;

• How visitors navigate the website;

• Traffic sources;

• General device/browser information;

• Website performance.

We may use this information to improve our website, products and customer experience.

Analytics cookies will only be used where the applicable consent requirements have been satisfied.

D. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Where implemented, marketing cookies may be used to understand interactions with our website and support advertising or remarketing activities.

These technologies may help us:

• Measure advertising performance;

• Understand which marketing campaigns generate traffic;

• Show relevant advertisements;

• Limit repeated advertisements;

• Understand interactions with advertising content.

Non-essential advertising and tracking technologies generally require appropriate consent before being used. (ICO)

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed by third-party service providers.

Depending on the services actually installed on our website, these may include providers associated with:

• Payment services;

• Website analytics;

• Advertising;

• Social media;

• Security;

• Embedded content;

• Website functionality.

Third-party technologies are controlled by the relevant third party and may be subject to that provider’s own privacy and cookie policies.

We will only list specific third-party providers here once they have been confirmed as actually being used on the website.

5. WooCommerce Cookies

If our website uses WooCommerce, cookies or similar technologies may be required to support e-commerce functionality.

These may help with functions such as:

• Shopping baskets;

• Checkout;

• Customer sessions;

• Product selection;

• Order processing;

• Customer account functionality.

The exact cookies used will depend on the WooCommerce configuration and other plugins installed on the website.

6. Payment Cookies

When you make a payment, the relevant payment provider may use cookies or similar technologies as part of its payment, security or fraud-prevention systems.

Payment services may include the providers offered through our website, such as card payment services or PayPal.

The exact technologies used depend on the payment services connected to our website.

Please also review our Payment Policy and the relevant payment provider’s privacy information.

7. Cookie Consent

Where consent is required, we will ask for your permission before setting non-essential cookies.

Our cookie consent system may allow you to:

• Accept optional cookies;

• Reject optional cookies;

• Select individual cookie categories;

• Change your preferences later.

Consent should be given through a clear affirmative action and should not be assumed simply because you continue browsing the website. (ICO)

8. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage cookies in several ways.

Cookie Preference Tool

Where available, you can use our website’s cookie preference tool to change your choices.

If we provide a “Cookie Settings” link or button, you can use it to review or change your preferences.

Browser Settings

You can also use your browser settings to:

• Delete cookies;

• Block cookies;

• Allow cookies;

• Block third-party cookies;

• Delete cookies when closing your browser.

Most modern browsers provide controls for managing cookies. (ICO)

9. What Happens If You Reject Cookies?

If you reject optional cookies, you can generally continue to use our website.

However, some functionality may be affected depending on which cookies or technologies you reject.

For example, rejecting certain functional technologies may affect personalised preferences, while rejecting analytics cookies means we may not be able to use those technologies to understand your visit.

Strictly necessary technologies may still operate where they are required for the website or service you have requested.

10. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Cookies can be:

Session Cookies

These normally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

The retention period varies depending on the specific cookie and its purpose.

We will review cookie durations as part of our website cookie management process.

11. Changes to Our Cookies

Our use of cookies may change as we:

• Add new website functionality;

• Add or remove plugins;

• Change payment providers;

• Introduce analytics tools;

• Introduce marketing services;

• Improve website security;

• Update our WooCommerce configuration.

If our use of cookies changes significantly, we may update this Cookie Policy and, where required, request fresh consent.

The ICO states that fresh consent may be required where the use of cookies changes. (ICO)
