Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Section 01

About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Taj AutoTech Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

We are a motor vehicle service and repair business located at 159-179 Empress Road, Southampton SO14 0JW. By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time (see Section 7).

Section 02

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. We also use similar technologies such as browser local storage, which lets a site save small amounts of data on your device (for example, to remember a choice you have made).

Cookies may be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another organisation whose service we use). They may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain until they expire or you delete them).

Section 03

How We Use Cookies

We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. We use them to:

  • make our website function correctly and securely;
  • remember your cookie preference once you have made a choice;
  • load the fonts and styling that make the site display properly; and
  • allow our embedded booking and customer portal system to keep you signed in.

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track you across other websites.

Section 04

Cookies We Use

The table below sets out the categories of cookies and similar technologies used on this website.

Name / TypeCategorySet ByPurpose
taj_cookie_consentFunctional (local storage)Taj AutoTechRemembers whether you accepted or rejected cookies, so the banner is not shown on every visit
Hosting / securityStrictly necessaryVercel (our hosting platform)Maintains a secure, reliable connection and serves the website correctly
Google FontsFunctional (third-party)GoogleLoads the website's fonts. Google may receive your IP address as part of serving these fonts
Booking / portal cookiesStrictly necessary & functional (third-party)Our booking provider (see Section 5)Set only when you use the embedded booking form or customer portal - keeps you signed in and processes the booking

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under UK law because the site cannot work without them. We are transparent about them here in any case.

Section 05

Booking and Customer Portal

Our online booking form and customer portal are provided by a third-party booking platform and are embedded into our website. When you use these features, the booking provider (and its own service providers, such as its payment processor) may set cookies on your device to keep you signed in, maintain your session, and prevent fraud during payment.

These cookies are controlled by the booking provider, not by Taj AutoTech, and are governed by their own cookie and privacy notices. You can read the booking provider's cookie policy here:

Our booking provider has confirmed that the embedded booking and portal system uses only essential and functional cookies (such as login/session and payment-fraud-prevention cookies) and does not set advertising or analytics cookies.

Section 06

We Do Not Track You for Advertising

Taj AutoTech does not:

  • sell your personal data;
  • use advertising or retargeting cookies;
  • share cookie data with advertising networks; or
  • track your activity across other websites.

If this ever changes, we will update this policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent before placing any such cookies.

Section 07

Managing Your Cookies

You have several ways to control or remove cookies:

  • Our cookie banner - when you first visit, you can choose to accept or reject non-essential cookies. To change your choice, clear this site's storage in your browser and reload the page; the banner will appear again.
  • Your browser settings - most browsers let you view, manage, block and delete cookies, and clear local storage. These controls are usually found under "Settings", "Preferences" or "Privacy and security".
Please note If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site - including the online booking form and customer portal - may not work properly.

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. As there is no agreed industry standard for these signals, and because we do not track users for advertising, our behaviour does not change based on this signal.

Section 08

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, or for legal, operational or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Please review this page periodically.
