About this cookie policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies and other storage on your device our website uses and why, and how you can control them. For further information on how we use, store, and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy Policy.

You can also learn more about who we are, how you can contact us, and how we process personal data in our Privacy Policy.

This policy applies to our website at eurocar.ltd.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser.

How do we use cookies?

Our website sets its own cookies to keep you signed in and to keep your account secure, and, only if you ask, to remember who invited you. Each one is listed below.

We do not set advertising cookies, and we do not use cookies to measure how the website is used.

What types of cookies do we use?

Strictly necessary cookies. These keep you signed in and keep your account secure. Without them you could not sign in to your account or buy entries. On our live site some of their names begin with __Secure- or __Host-, shown in brackets below.

• next-auth.session-token (__Secure-next-auth.session-token) keeps you signed in. It is set when you sign in, lasts up to 30 days (renewed as you use the site), and is deleted when you sign out.
• next-auth.csrf-token (__Host-next-auth.csrf-token) protects signing in and signing out from requests forged by other websites. It is deleted when you close your browser.
• next-auth.callback-url (__Secure-next-auth.callback-url) remembers which page to take you back to after you sign in. It is deleted when you close your browser.
• eurocar.sign-in-device (__Host-eurocar.sign-in-device) is set when you sign in. It lets our limit on repeated sign-in attempts recognise your browser, so that someone else trying to guess your password cannot stop you signing in from it. It lasts up to 400 days.

Referral cookie. This cookie is optional. We set it only if you ask us to, on a referral link that one of our members has shared with you.

• eurocar_ref is set only if you choose “Remember my invite” on a referral link. It holds the account number of the member who shared the link, so that if you create an account within 30 days you are recorded as their referral. It lasts 30 days and is deleted when you create your account. If you sign up on the referral link itself, the member is recorded without this cookie.

Storage on your device

Our website also keeps these items in your browser storage on your device. They are not cookies:

• eurocar-cart (local storage) holds your basket: the competitions and number of entries you have added, so that they are still there when you come back. It is emptied when you complete your purchase or remove the items.
• nextauth.message (local storage) is a short note, with no personal details in it, that keeps your other open EuroCar tabs up to date with whether you are signed in.
• liveBarDismissed (session storage) remembers, on smaller screens such as phones, that you closed the countdown bar at the bottom of the screen. It is deleted when you close the tab.

Website analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, provided by Vercel, the company that hosts our website, to count visits to our pages and to measure how quickly they load. Neither sets cookies.

PayPal

Our checkout page shows payment buttons provided by PayPal. When you pay, PayPal may set its own cookies. Those cookies are set and controlled by PayPal, not by us, and are governed by the PayPal cookie policy.

How can I control cookies?

Different browsers provide different methods to block and delete cookies used by websites. You can change the settings of your browser to block/delete the cookies.

If you block our strictly necessary cookies you will not be able to sign in, and deleting them signs you out. Clearing the data your browser keeps for our website also removes the items described under Storage on your device, including your basket.
