This page explains what cookies and similar browser-storage technologies our website uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. We try to use as little of this as possible.
What is browser storage?
"Cookies" and "localStorage" are small bits of data your browser saves on your device. They let a website remember things between visits (like your language preference) or between page loads (like whether you've dismissed a popup).
What we use, and why
Our site does not currently use third-party advertising cookies, behavioral tracking, or analytics cookies. We only use the following essential browser storage:
| Key | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
aa_lang |
localStorage | Remembers whether you've chosen English or Spanish so we don't reset your choice on every page load. | Until you clear it |
aa_deal_dismissed_until |
localStorage | Records when you dismissed our first-time-customer discount popup so we don't show it again immediately. | 14 days |
If we add analytics or marketing tools later
If we add Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any similar tool in the future, we will update this page and the Privacy Policy before turning them on, and we will publish a cookie consent banner where required by law.
Third-party content embedded on the site
Some pages load resources from third parties (Google Fonts, Unsplash images, Tailwind CSS CDN, the Google Maps link target). These providers may set their own cookies when their content loads. We do not control those cookies. Review each provider's policy if you want details.
How to control browser storage
- Clear our storage: open your browser's developer tools (F12), go to Application → Local Storage →
www.abesautorepair.com, and delete the keys. - Block storage: most browsers let you block cookies and localStorage in settings. If you block our two keys, the site will still work, but your language will reset to English on every visit and the discount popup will appear more often.
- Do Not Track: we honor the "Global Privacy Control" signal where applicable, but since we don't run analytics or ad tracking, there is currently nothing to disable.
