Politique de cookies | Japan Motor Import

Section 1 – What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site recognize your device and remember things such as your cart, sign-in, or language.

Session cookies: last only while you browse, then are deleted.
Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a set period.
First-party cookies: set by japanmotorimport.ca.
Third-party cookies: set by services built into the site, such as payment processors.
Local storage: a similar browser feature we use to remember display preferences, such as light or dark appearance.

Section 2 – Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary (always active)

Keep the site working: cart, sign-in, form security, secure payments, and fraud detection. They cannot be switched off without breaking the site.

Functional

Remember your choices, such as "Remember me" sign-in and English or French language. Blocking them does not stop the site working, but you may need to repeat your choices.

Analytics (off unless you agree)

Would show us aggregated page views and how visitors find us, if an analytics tool such as Google Analytics is enabled.

Advertising (off unless you agree)

Would measure which ads lead to purchases and show relevant ads to past visitors, if tools such as Google Ads or the Meta Pixel are enabled.

Section 4 – Your consent and Quebec law

Under Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, technologies capable of tracking must be off by default; this is why analytics and advertising cookies activate only after you consent.

Strictly necessary cookies are used without asking.
You can withdraw consent to optional cookies at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser, changing your choice in the cookie banner, or emailing japanmotorimport@gmail.com.
Withdrawing consent does not affect your ability to browse, buy, or get support.

Section 5 – Third-party services

Stripe (card and Apple Pay checkout): Stripe Cookies Policy
Google (translation, maps, and analytics where used): How Google uses cookies

Some providers process information outside Quebec. See Section 8 of the Privacy Policy.

Section 6 – How to manage cookies

Browser settings apply to all websites. Guides: Google Chrome · Mozilla Firefox · Apple Safari · Microsoft Edge

If you block all cookies, the cart will not keep items between pages, sign-in and checkout will not work, and payment fraud checks may block payments. To limit tracking while keeping the site working, block only third-party cookies.

Section 7 – Changes to this policy

We update this policy when the services that set cookies change or when the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
