Cookies and browser storage

What we use

Cookies and browser storage keep the service working and remember choices. This policy covers our website; external providers may describe their own storage separately.

Account cookies

Authentication cookies keep you signed in. Their names normally begin sb- and may be split into numbered parts.

Expiry depends on session and authentication settings; tokens may refresh while you remain signed in. The garage_signup cookie supports an unfinished signup/email-change flow and expires after one hour.

Browser preferences

Session storage may hold garage:verify-email for the signup code screen and garage:social-destination for a return destination. Session storage normally clears when its browser tab/session closes.

Local storage remembers garage-route-maps (your selected maps provider) and garage-route-unit-v2 (distance units) until you clear it or the application replaces it. These values are used for their stated functions, not advertising.

External services

Our payment processor uses cookies and similar technologies for checkout, billing and fraud prevention. On route pages, the map provider receives browser connection information when an embedded map loads.

External websites opened through links have their own cookie policies.

Advertising and controls

We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels or audience analytics scripts.

If we introduce non-essential tracking that needs consent, we will obtain it before enabling it.

You can clear or block cookies and site storage in your browser. Blocking authentication cookies may prevent signup or login; clearing preferences resets them. Contact info@ostariomotorclub.com with questions.
