CarVeto Cookie Policy
Effective from: 15 September 2026
Last updated: 15 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how CarVeto uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit www.carveto.co.uk, run a car check, sign in to your account, purchase a vehicle history report or access a saved report.
It should be read together with the CarVeto Privacy Policy, which explains how CarVeto collects, uses and protects personal information.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device.
They can help a website operate securely, remember a user's choices and provide information about how the website is used.
CarVeto may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage, session storage and security signals.
In this policy, we use cookies as a general term for cookies and these similar technologies.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the CarVeto website and services to work.
Other cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, are optional and are used only with your consent.
2. How CarVeto uses cookies
CarVeto uses cookies in connection with its car check and vehicle history report services for the following purposes:
- operating and securing the website;
- supporting account sign-in and authenticated sessions;
- providing access to purchased and saved vehicle reports;
- protecting forms, accounts and payment journeys against fraud, spam and automated abuse;
- remembering your cookie choices;
- understanding how visitors use CarVeto and improving website performance, navigation and report pages, where you consent to analytics cookies; and
- measuring advertising performance and relevant website actions, where you consent to advertising cookies.
3. Cookie categories
Category | Purpose | Technologies Currently Used | Your Control |
|---|---|---|---|
Strictly necessary | Operate and secure the website, maintain sessions, provide requested account and report functions, support checkout and remember cookie choices. | CarVeto session, security and consent technologies; Cloudflare Turnstile where a security check is required; and necessary payment-provider technologies when you use a payment service. | These technologies are active only where needed to provide a service you request or to secure the website. They cannot be disabled through the CarVeto cookie controls. |
Analytics | Measure how visitors use CarVeto, diagnose performance issues and improve car check, vehicle report and account pages. | Google Analytics, with tags managed through Google Tag Manager. | Optional. These technologies must remain off unless you select Accept all or enable analytics in Cookie Settings. |
Advertising | Measure advertising results, record relevant website actions and help deliver or assess advertising. | Meta Pixel. | Optional. These technologies must remain off unless you select Accept all or enable advertising in Cookie Settings. |
Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags.
A tag deployed through Google Tag Manager follows the consent setting for its relevant category; using a tag manager does not make an optional tag strictly necessary.
4. Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support functions that CarVeto cannot provide securely without them.
Depending on the part of the website you use, these functions may include:
- keeping you signed in during an authenticated session;
- allowing you to access a purchased CarVeto report;
- securing forms and account requests;
- detecting and preventing fraud, spam and automated abuse;
- supporting a payment journey you have requested; and
- recording your cookie preference so that CarVeto can respect it.
CarVeto uses Cloudflare Turnstile on relevant forms or security checks to distinguish legitimate activity from automated abuse.
Turnstile may process technical and device information needed to perform that security function.
When you choose a payment method or open a payment-provider component or page, Braintree, PayPal, Stripe or Monzo may use technologies needed to authenticate the transaction, prevent fraud, provide security and process the payment.
These technologies are not necessarily used on every visit. A payment provider's own privacy or cookie notice also applies to activity on its service.
5. Analytics cookies
With your consent, CarVeto uses Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the website.
This may include information about pages viewed, interactions, device and browser type, approximate location and technical identifiers.
CarVeto uses this information to assess website performance and improve the experience of running a car check, purchasing a vehicle history check and reviewing a Vehicle Registration Verification.
CarVeto does not describe analytics information as anonymous where it may contain online identifiers or otherwise constitute personal data.
Google Analytics must not be activated unless you consent to analytics cookies.
You can withdraw that consent at any time through Cookie Settings.
Further information is available in Google's explanation of how it uses cookies.
6. Advertising cookies
With your consent, CarVeto uses Meta Pixel to measure actions taken after a person views or interacts with advertising, assess campaign performance and support relevant advertising audiences.
Meta Pixel may receive information about page visits and website actions, together with device, browser and technical identifier information.
Meta Pixel must not be activated unless you consent to advertising cookies.
You can refuse advertising cookies without losing access to CarVeto's core website, car check services or purchased reports.
You can withdraw your consent at any time through Cookie Settings.
Further information is available in Meta's Cookie Policy.
7. Current cookie details and storage periods
The cookies and similar technologies in use can change when CarVeto updates its website, security, payments or measurement tools.
The current cookie schedule is available through Cookie Settings. It identifies, where applicable:
- the cookie or technology name;
- the provider and domain;
- its purpose and category;
- whether it is set by CarVeto or a third party; and
- how long it remains on your browser or device.
Session cookies normally expire when the relevant browser session ends.
Persistent cookies remain for the period shown in the current cookie schedule unless you delete them sooner or withdraw the relevant consent.
CarVeto reviews its cookies and tags periodically and updates the schedule when technologies or storage periods change.
8. Managing your cookie choices
When you first visit CarVeto, the cookie control allows you to:
- Accept all optional cookies;
- Reject all optional cookies; or
- Customise your choices by category.
Rejecting optional cookies must be as easy as accepting them.
Optional analytics and advertising technologies remain disabled unless you give consent.
You can review or change your choice at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the website footer.
Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and prevents the relevant optional technologies from being used on future page visits.
It does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before withdrawal.
Your browser may also allow you to block or delete cookies.
Browser controls vary, so consult the help information for your browser.
Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, may prevent account sign-in, secure checkout or access to saved reports from working correctly.
9. Third-party services
Google, Meta, Cloudflare and the payment provider you select may process information collected through their technologies as independent controllers or service providers, depending on the service and circumstances.
Their use of personal information is explained in their own privacy and cookie notices.
For more information about CarVeto's use of personal information, recipients of data, international transfers and your data protection rights, read the CarVeto Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to this Cookie Policy
CarVeto may update this Cookie Policy when its website, legal obligations or technologies change.
The latest version will be published on this page and the Last updated date will be revised.
Where a change affects an existing consent choice, CarVeto will request consent again where required.
