Cookies we set
Carwow.ie uses a minimal set of first-party cookies. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, social-media cookies, or remarketing pixels.
- Matomo analytics cookies (first-party): set by our self-hosted Matomo install at mana.ie/stats. They record an anonymised visitor ID, the visit timestamp, the pages viewed and the referrer. IPs are anonymised before storage. The cookies persist for 13 months. They do not contain any directly identifying data.
Cookies we don't set
- No Google Analytics cookies.
- No Facebook / Meta Pixel cookies.
- No advertising / remarketing cookies.
- No social-media share-button trackers.
Opting out
If you would prefer not to be counted in our analytics:
- Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser. Our Matomo install respects DNT and will not record your session.
- Use a browser content-blocker (e.g. uBlock Origin); this will block the matomo.js loader entirely.
- Use the dedicated Matomo opt-out cookie, available on request via privacy@carwow.ie.
Changes to this policy
If we add or change any cookie, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date at the top.
