Cookies and local storage
Short version
Auto Consul uses only strictly necessary browser storage by default. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) are set only after you consent in the cookie banner — you can always decline.

With your consent: analytics
If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 (Firebase Analytics) to measure, in aggregate, which pages and features are used (e.g. plate lookups, comparisons, chat) so we can improve the product. Decline and Analytics is never loaded — no analytics data is sent.
What we don't use
- No Meta Pixel or third-party tracking pixels.
- No ad networks.
- No profiling or analytics without your consent.
