2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, GlobalOEMCarParts) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable features and functionality provided by third-party services, such as analytics tools, payment processors, and advertising networks.
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:
Session Cookies Session cookies are temporary and exist only for the duration of your visit to our website. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. Session cookies are essential for functions like keeping items in your shopping cart during a browsing session.
Persistent Cookies Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time after you close your browser, or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following core purposes:

To Understand How Our Website Is Used Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, where they come from, and where they leave. This data helps us continuously improve our website and the experience we offer.
To Deliver Relevant Marketing With your consent, we use marketing cookies to show you relevant advertisements and promotions — both on our website and on third-party platforms — based on your browsing behaviour and interests.
To Prevent Fraud and Ensure Security Some cookies help us detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect your account, and ensure the security of transactions carried out on our website.
