# Cookie Policy

**Canonical page:** https://autotronix.om/cookies
**Language:** English
**Last updated:** 17 October 2026

---

Cookies and browser storage are small pieces of information a website keeps in your browser. This policy lists the ones the AutoTronix website uses. AutoTronix is operated by International Technology LLC, a company registered in the Sultanate of Oman.

## 1. In short

- The website works without any optional cookies.
- The only optional category is analytics (Google Analytics 4). It stays off unless you allow it.
- We do not use advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking cookies or pixels.
- Google Maps loads only when you choose to show the map.
- Accepting cookies never subscribes you to emails. The newsletter has its own separate consent.

## 2. Essential storage (always on)

These items are kept only in your browser, are not used to track you and do not identify you. Without them the site could not remember your privacy choice or keep a form you are filling in.

| Name | Type | Purpose | How long |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| at_privacy_prefs | Local storage | Remembers your privacy choice (analytics on or off), when you made it and which version of this notice you saw. | Until you clear it. We ask again when this notice changes. |
| atx-partnership-draft:… | Session storage | Keeps your answers on a Partnerships form if you switch language or reload the page. Consent boxes are never kept. | Until you send the form or close the tab. |
| lazy-retry-… | Session storage | Technical flag that lets a page reload once if it fails to load just after we update the site. | Until you close the tab. |
| otto-chat-expanded | Local storage | Remembers whether you enlarged the Otto chat window on a computer. Set only if you use that button. | Until you clear it. |

An Otto conversation is kept in the open page only, not in your browser’s storage; the saved copy is on our server as described in the [Privacy Policy](https://autotronix.om/privacy).

## 3. Analytics (only with your permission)

If you allow analytics, Google Analytics 4 sets the cookies below on autotronix.om to count visits and page views and to tell repeat visits apart. Advertising features, Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off, and we send page addresses without form contents or personal parameters. If you do not allow analytics, the Google Analytics script is not loaded at all.

| Name | Provider | Purpose | How long |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors with a random identifier. | Up to 2 years (Google’s default) |
| _ga_4NJETXEGRE | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of your current visit (session). | Up to 2 years (Google’s default) |

If you later withdraw permission, we stop analytics straight away and delete these cookies from your browser.

Analytics runs only on autotronix.om itself. Preview copies of the site never load it.

## 4. Embedded Google Maps

Our location map is provided by Google. It is not loaded until you choose “Show map”. When it loads, Google receives your IP address and browser information and may set or read its own cookies, under [Google’s privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). Our address and an “Open in Google Maps” link are always available without loading the map.

## 5. Links to other services

Our WhatsApp, social-media and app-store links are plain links: nothing from those services runs on our pages. If you open them, those services may use their own cookies under their own policies.

## 6. Changing your choice

Use “Cookie Settings” at the bottom of every page (or the button below) to allow or refuse analytics at any time. Refusing has no effect on how the site works. You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings; the site will then ask for your choice again.
