Cookie policy
Last updated: 27 July 2026
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Some cookies are needed to make the site work at all; others help us understand how the site is used. This page lists every cookie we set and tells you how to control them.
Your choice
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Nothing beyond the strictly necessary cookies is set until you choose “Accept all”. You can change your decision at any time:
We remember your choice in a cookie called md_consent for 12 months. If you clear your browser storage, the banner will appear again.
Strictly necessary cookies
These keep you logged in, protect our forms against cross-site attacks and remember your cookie choice. They cannot be switched off and we do not need your consent for them.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
motodealers_session |
MotoDealers UK | Keeps your session and your login | 2 hours |

MotoDealers UK | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | 2 hours |
remember_web_* |
MotoDealers UK | Set only if you tick “remember me” when signing in | 5 years |
md_consent |
MotoDealers UK | Stores your cookie choice | 12 months |
md_promo_heyowner |
MotoDealers UK | Remembers that you dismissed our HeyOwner notice, so we do not show it again | 90 days |
Analytics cookies (optional)
These help us see which pages people use, where they get stuck and whether a change made things better or worse. They are set only after you accept them.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|

Google Analytics runs in consent mode: before you accept, it sends no cookies and no identifiers. Microsoft Clarity is not loaded at all until you accept.
Third-party content
Some pages embed a YouTube video review or a map. Those embeds may set cookies from Google when you play or interact with them. We load thumbnails only until you click, so nothing is set before then.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Besides our banner, every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings, usually under Privacy. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop you from signing in or publishing an advert.
