Cookie policy
In effect from 16 October 2026 · version 1
A complete list of everything autotrade360 stores on your device — cookies and the browser’s local storage — and why.
1.What we store on your device
In two ways: in cookies and in the browser’s local storage (localStorage). A cookie is a small text file the browser sends back with the next request, which is how we recognise, for example, your language or that you are signed in. What is in local storage stays on the device and never reaches the server.
2.The complete list
Every item is needed for the service to work. Saved items are the one exception to the “only on your device” rule: when you sign in, we move them into your account.

vm.savedCollections.v1
- Kind
- local storage
- What it is for
- listings parked and searches saved while signed out, followed dealers, recently viewed and compared listings
- How long it stays
- until you delete it, or it moves into your account when you sign in
3.Why there is no cookie banner
- We use no analytics, advertising or social media tracking cookies.
- Without the items above the service you asked for would not work, so under the law — the Hungarian Electronic Communications Act and the ePrivacy Directive — they need no consent.
- Should we ever introduce a cookie that needs consent, we would ask for it first and update this page.
4.Third parties
If you choose the Google, Facebook, Microsoft or Apple button when signing in, your browser talks to that provider directly, which may set cookies under its own rules. This happens only when you click that button.
If a listing has a YouTube video, only its preview image is shown until you play it; the image is loaded from YouTube’s servers and sets no cookie. When you play it, the player loads from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced address (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube may store data on your device under its own rules.
5.If you want to delete or block them
You can delete or block cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge: Settings → Privacy → Site data). If you delete or block the sign-in cookie, you will not stay signed in and will need to sign in again.
