Cookie Policy.
This policy explains how GM Vault and our service providers use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit gmvault.com.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as sign-in state) over a period of time. We also use related technologies such as browser local storage and pixel tags, which behave similarly.
Categories of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary. Required for the site to function — authenticated sessions, security tokens, load balancing, and saving your sign-in state.
- Functional. Remember preferences such as your watchlist filters, vehicle search settings, and dismissed banners.
- Analytics. Help us understand how members use the marketplace so we can improve auctions, listings, and the bid flow. These are aggregated and do not identify you personally.
- Payments and fraud prevention. Our payment processor sets cookies necessary to process card payments securely and to detect fraudulent activity.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties we rely on to operate the platform — including our payments processor, authentication provider, and email/SMS delivery providers. These third parties are bound by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in, bidding, or completing checkout. Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" setting; because there is no industry standard for how to respond, GM Vault does not currently change its behavior in response to DNT signals.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date at the bottom of this page.
