What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your phone or computer. They help a site remember things, such as your cookie choices, and help us understand how the site is used.
Your choices
When you first visit VehicleMonkey, a message asks whether you agree to analytics and advertising cookies. Nothing other than the cookie that remembers your choice is set until you decide.
You can change your mind at any time using the "Privacy and cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. If you say no, the site works just the same. You may still see adverts, but they won't be based on your browsing.
