Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones this website uses, why, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site’s operators. "Similar technologies" include local storage, pixels and tags that perform comparable functions.
How we use cookies
We use a minimal set of cookies. We split them into two groups:
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to function and to remember your cookie choice. These are always active and do not require consent.
- Analytics (consent required) — help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These are switched off until you accept them via our cookie banner, using Google Consent Mode.
Cookies we set
| Name / Provider | Purpose | Category | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
Google Analytics 4 — _ga, _ga_* (Google) | Measures site usage and traffic (aggregate); only set after you accept | Analytics (consent) | Up to 2 years |
| Google Tag Manager (Google) | Loads and manages the tag above, where enabled; sets no cookies of its own until a tag fires | Analytics (consent) | — |
We do not currently run advertising, remarketing, or social-media cookies. If that changes, this table and our banner will be updated first.
Other browser storage (not cookies)
A few interactive features use your browser’s local storage instead of a cookie. Local storage is not sent to our servers on every request the way a cookie is — it simply sits in your browser until you or your browser clears it:
| Key | Purpose | Sent to us? |
|---|---|---|
gh-consent | Remembers your cookie-banner choice (granted/denied) | No |
gh-myrig | Your saved vehicle, tire size and lift height for the “My Rig” feature | No |
gh-checklist-* | Your tick-off progress on a printable checklist | No |
Amazon affiliate links
When you click an affiliate link and visit Amazon, Amazon and its affiliates may set their own cookies to attribute any resulting purchase for commission purposes. Those cookies are governed by Amazon’s own Privacy Notice, not this policy.
Your choices
- Cookie banner: accept or reject non-essential cookies when you first visit.
- Change your mind anytime: use the control (also in the footer) to reopen the banner and update your choice.
- Browser controls: most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may affect how the site works.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): where applicable, we honour the GPC browser signal as an opt-out of non-essential cookies.
Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest revision.
