HOW CHEVROLET USES COOKIES

We want to make it easier for you to manage the cookies we use. If you do make any changes, we promise to abide by them, but - until we’ve finished making all the necessary changes at Chevrolet - a small number of cookies may not be controlled correctly.

 

You can manage the cookies we use on Chevrolet.co.uk through your web browser settings.

 

Enabling and disabling cookies and similar technologies

 

The 'Help' menu in the Internet browser's menu bar tells users:

  • how to prevent the acceptance of new cookies in the browser
  • how to set the browser to notify them when they receive a new cookie
  • how to completely disable cookies

If all cookies are disabled then much of the functionality on chevrolet.co.uk will also be disabled e.g., Dealer locator, vehicle configurator and user-relevant offers may not be displayed correctly. To prevent this we recommend that cookies are enabled.

 

Once you’ve set your preference level, we will only read or write cookies that fall into that set. Any cookies set prior to you changing your settings will still be on your computer and you can remove them using your browser settings.

 

It’s important for you to know that we use a cookie to remember your cookie preferences this has a couple of consequences:

 

If you delete all your cookies you will have to update your preferences with us again.
If you use a different device, computer profile or browser you will have to tell us your preferences again.
