What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on a PC, tablet or smartphone during a visit to a website. The use of cookies is completely safe and cookies are never used to uncover personal information such as passwords.
What types of cookies are there?
There are four types of cookies that are used on AutoPro’s websites.
1. Essential: these cookies are essential to ensure that AutoPro’s websites perform well. They allow you to navigate our websites and make use of the features we offer.
