Cookie & tracking notice

This notice describes how JunkCarValue.com uses cookies and similar technologies. It works together with our Privacy Policy, which explains the broader picture of how we collect, use, and share your information.

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies - such as local storage, pixels, and software development kits provided by analytics tools - serve comparable purposes. Together they let a site remember information about your visit, measure how the site is used, and keep core features working.

What we use

• Essential site function. A small number of cookies and similar storage are needed for the Site to load and work correctly, to keep the experience secure, and to remember basic preferences during your visit. These are always on because the Site cannot function properly without them.
• Google Analytics (usage analytics). We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Site so we can improve it. Analytics is loaded only when it is enabled for the Site; when it is turned off, no Google Analytics cookies or identifiers are set. We do not use analytics to build advertising profiles about you.
• No third-party ad networks (currently). We do not currently run third-party advertising or retargeting networks on the Site, and we do not currently set advertising cookies. If we add them later, we will update this notice and the categories below before they take effect.

Cookie categories

Analytics identifiers and CCPA "sale" or "share"

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the analytics identifiers and online activity associated with cookies can, in some circumstances, be treated as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information - even when no money changes hands and even though we use analytics only to understand and improve the Site. Because of this, we treat the analytics identifiers described above as covered by your right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.

How to control cookies and tracking

• Global Privacy Control (GPC). We honor the Global Privacy Control browser signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information where required by law. If your browser or extension sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out for that browser.
• Do Not Sell or Share. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information at any time using our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.
• Browser controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and clear local storage through their settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across sites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

No consent wall for U.S. visitors

We serve a United States audience, so we do not show a GDPR-style cookie consent wall that blocks the Site until you accept cookies. Instead, we give you the controls described above - including the Global Privacy Control signal and our Do Not Sell or Share page - to manage tracking.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice from time to time as our technologies or the law change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page. If we add advertising or other new tracking technologies, we will update the categories above.
