Privacy and Cookie Preferences

These strictly necessary cookies manage your cookie and privacy preferences. There will typically be several such cookies, each beginning with "gdpr" (e.g., gdpr[allowed_cookies], gdpr&5Bprivacy_bar&5D, and gdpr[consent_types]). They normally expire after about one year.

Google Analytics

These cookies enable Google Analytics to gather aggregate information about visitors and how they use the site. The cookieconsent_status cookie records whether or not you've consented to analytics tracking and tells the website to hide the notification banner; the cookie normally expires after about one year. The _ga and _gid cookies, which are only placed if you click "Accept/Enable" in the notification banner, are used by Google Analytics to track your activity on the site. They may persist for up to two years. (The _gat cookie, which may appear as _gat_gtag_UA_6113964_2, is not always set; it is a short-lived "throttling" cookie used to control how frequently requests are sent to the Google Analytics server.) The "Online Tracking" section of the Privacy Policy offers more information about how the analytics service works and describes some ways you can opt out of analytics tracking, including a Google-supplied browser add-on. (Google Analytics is a trademark of Google LLC.)

Google Analytics Opt-Out

This cookie is only set if you click the Disable Google Analytics Tracking link. If you set the cookie, Google Analytics will no longer track you on this website, even if you previously consented to analytics tracking. (Please note that this works ONLY on Ate Up With Motor, not on other websites using Google Analytics, and it cannot prevent third-party content providers from using Google Analytics in connection with content such as embedded video players.) The opt-out cookie normally remains on your device for as long as your browser settings permit. (Google Analytics is a trademark of Google LLC.)

Accessibility Settings

If you change certain aspects of the site's appearance using the accessibility sidebar, it may set these cookies to manage and remember your settings. The wahFontColor and wahBgColor cookies, which are set if you alter the site's color scheme, normally expire after about 14 days, but you can remove them immediately by clicking the "Restore Defaults" button on the sidebar. We may sometimes present an alternative version of the sidebar offering different options, which may set the a11y-desaturated, a11y-high-contrast, and a11y-larger-fontsize cookies if you change those settings. These a11y cookies normally expire after about seven days, but are removed immediately if you restore the applicable settings to their default values.

PayPal® Button

The payment button in the "Support Ate Up With Motor" box (and similar payment or donation buttons that may appear on portions of the back-end administrative dashboard) contains embedded content served by PayPal®. If the payment button is visible, it may set the third-party cookies PYPF (via paypalobjects.com), which appears to check whether or not you are a logged-in PayPal user and is used for the PayPal user login process, and/or 01A1 (via abmr.net), which stores certain technical information about your device and browser (including your IP address), probably to facilitate the login and shopping cart functions. The PYPF cookie normally expires in approximately four weeks, the 01A1 cookie in approximately one year. If you use the button to make a payment or donation, PayPal sets additional cookies (not listed here) to manage your PayPal login and transaction data. For more information on what data PayPal collects and what they do with it, visit their Legal Agreements page to review the PayPal Privacy Policy and Statements on Cookies and Tracking Technologies that apply in your location.

You can hide the "Support Ate Up With Motor" box and prevent the loading of its embedded content by going to the Privacy Tools page, clicking "Access Your Privacy and Cookie Preferences," and switching this option to "OFF." (This does NOT affect the donation or payment buttons that may appear on portions of the back-end administrative dashboard, which are not visible to non-logged-in users.) Please note that turning off this option does NOT affect cookies that have already been set!

YouTube Videos

These third-party cookies may be set by YouTube (which is now owned by and a trademark of Google LLC) in connection with embedded videos, for purposes such as managing video settings (such as tailoring the playback to your connection speed), storing video preferences, providing certain functionality such as allowing you to stop and restart a video without losing your place, showing you advertisements, associating your video viewing and other activity with your Google account (if any), and ensuring proper functioning of the service. The cookies may be set by various domains, including (but not necessarily limited to) youtube.com, youtube-nocookie.com, googlevideo.com, ytimg.com, google.com, accounts.google.com, and/or doubleclick.net. Some are session cookies that disappear when you close your browser; others may remain on your device as long as your browser settings permit. Some cookies Google sets in connection with your Google account and/or advertising served through YouTube (which may include others not listed here) are persistent cookies that may remain in your browser for as long as your individual browser settings permit. See Google's "Types of Cookies Used by Google" page for more information about the functions of their various cookies.

Vimeo Videos

These third-party cookies may be set by Vimeo in connection with embedded videos, for purposes such as managing video settings, storing video preferences, providing certain functionality (such as allowing you to pause a video at a particular point), associating your video viewing and other activity with your Vimeo account (if you have one), showing you advertising, and compiling user analytics data. (The cookies whose names begin with "_ga" and "_ut" are associated with Google Analytics, which is a trademark of Google LLC and subject to the Google Privacy Policy); the ones whose names begin with "_ceg" are associated with the Crazy Egg web analytics service; the ones that begin with "optimizely" are associated with the Optimizely digital experience optimization service; and the ones beginning with "adsense" or listed in all caps are associated with Google advertising).

Administrative and Login Cookies

These functionality cookies are used to manage user logins and other WordPress administrative functions, such as post editing. If you are not an administrative user, they shouldn't normally be placed at all unless you somehow access the login area, which is off-limits to non-administrators. Accessing the login page places the wordpress_test_cookie (a session cookie that tests whether your browser will allow the cookies needed to login and disappears when you close your browser) and the itsec-hb-login-xx cookie (which expires after about one hour and helps protect the site against "brute force" attempts to hack user passwords). After logging in, the wordpress_logged_in_xx, wordpress_sec_xx, and wordpress_xx cookies store your user login credentials to allow access to the administrative dashboard; these cookies may last up to 15 days if you click the "Remember Me" when logging in, but if you don't, they normally expire when you close your browser (or, failing that, within about two days). The wp-settings-UID and wp-settings-time-UID cookies store configuration settings for logged-in users and normally expire after about one year. The wp-saving-post cookie is placed after saving or updating a post, contains the post ID number and last action, and expires after about 24 hours. The wp-donottrack_feed cookie, which controls a blog feed, may be set by accessing the dashboard menu for the WP DoNotTrack plugin (if we currently have that plugin enabled) and expires in about one year. (For all of these administrative and login cookies, the "xx" will be a cryptographic hash while "UID" will be the administrative user's user ID number in this website's WordPress database.)
