Cookie Policy

Last updated 6 September 2026

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on autofxmart.com, what each one is for, and how to change what you allow. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information more broadly, and our Terms of Service.

Checkout runs on Shopify's own infrastructure. Cookies set during checkout are described in Shopify's cookie policy.

Changing your choices

The first time you visit, a notice appears at the bottom of the page with three options: accept everything, reject everything but the essentials, or choose per purpose.

You can change your mind at any time. The cookie button in the bottom-left corner of every page reopens your preferences, or you can open your cookie preferences here. Your choice is stored per browser and per device, so you will be asked again on a different browser or after clearing your site data.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off — the cart, sign-in and security depend on them, and so does remembering the choice you just made.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small file a site asks your browser to keep, and sends back on your next request. This policy also covers technologies that do a similar job without being cookies — chiefly local storage, where a value is kept in your browser and never sent to a server unless a script reads it and chooses to.

Cookies this store sets

Strictly necessary — always on

Name Set by Purpose Kept for
_shopify_essential Shopify Keeps your session working and secure across pages. 1 year
cart Shopify Identifies your cart so its contents survive between visits. Up to 2 weeks
cart_currency Shopify Remembers the currency your cart is priced in. 2 weeks
localization Shopify Remembers your country and language. 1 year
_tracking_consent Shopify Records the cookie choices you made, so you are not asked again. Up to 1 year

Analytics — only with your permission

These tell us which catalogue pages and searches are actually used, and which ones are failing people. They are about pages, not about identifying you personally.

Name Set by Purpose Kept for
_shopify_y Shopify Tells one browser apart from another for store analytics. 1 year
_shopify_s Shopify Groups the pages you view into a single visit. 30 minutes
_shopify_analytics Shopify Supports Shopify's own reporting for the store. 1 year
_ga, _ga_<id> Google Analytics Measures visits and page views. This store reports into three Google Analytics properties, each with its own _ga_<id> cookie. Up to 2 years

Advertising and marketing — only with your permission

Name Set by Purpose Kept for
_shopify_marketing Shopify Connects an order back to the campaign that brought you here. 1 year
_gcl_au Google Ads Measures which ad clicks lead to orders, so we are not paying to advertise to everyone. About 90 days

Stored in your browser rather than sent as cookies

  • afx-cc-v1 — the cookie choice you made on this device.
  • afx-theme — set when you switch the site between light and dark.
  • afx-pf:last — the last selection you made in the Paint Finder, so it reopens where you left it.
  • trustedsite_visit — used by the TrustedSite badge.
  • signInWithShop:… — used by Shop Pay / Sign in with Shop.
  • _gcl_ls — used by Google Ads alongside _gcl_au.

Third parties

The services below can set cookies or read storage on this site. Each handles that data under its own policy:

What your choice controls today

We would rather tell you exactly where this stands than imply more than is true.

Shopify's own analytics and marketing cookies follow your choice. If you reject them they are not set, and existing ones stop being used.

Google Analytics and Google Ads cookies currently load with the page, before you have made a choice, and remain if you reject. They are set through Google's tags rather than by this site directly. Until that changes, the reliable way to remove them is to use the browser and opt-out controls below.

Do not sell or share my personal information

Using advertising cookies to show you products on other sites may count as a "sale" or "share" of personal information under California's CCPA/CPRA and similar U.S. state laws. You can opt out in two ways:

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out request for that browser, as described on that page.

Controlling cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, in its privacy or site-data settings. Blocking all cookies will break the cart and sign-in, because those depend on the strictly necessary cookies above. You can also install Google's own Analytics opt-out add-on to stop Google Analytics measurement across every site you visit.

Changes to this policy

When the cookies this store uses change, this page changes with them, and the date at the top is updated. If a change materially affects what we ask permission for, the notice will appear again so you can make a fresh choice.
